The effects of knowledge and Skill of Using the Monitoring Postpartum Hemorrhage Development Guidelines 2 hours after delivery among Normal vaginal on knowledge and Skill among Registered nurses in the Labour Department, Chawang Crown Prince Hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province

Abstract

A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post-test design was used to test The effects of knowledge and Skill of Using the Monitoring Postpartum Hemorrhage Development Guidelines 2 hours after delivery among Normal vaginal delivery on knowledge and Skill among Registered nurses in the Labour Department, Chawang Crown Prince Hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Purposive sampling was used to select 10 registered nurses (RNs) who worked at the labour department on inclusion criteria. The program consisted of knowledge and skill of using the monitoring postpartum hemorrhage development guidelines 2 hours after delivery for normal vaginal delivery. Total activities were used for individuals 2 times per person and 30 minutes each time. The programs and instruments, including the knowledge questionnaire and the skill evaluation scale, were validated by three experts equal to .75, .71, and .80, respectively. The reliability of the instruments was examined with thirty RNs as the same sample size consisted of 1) the knowledge questionnaire was examined with Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) equal to 0.81 and 2) the skill evaluation scale examined with interrater reliability equal to 1. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Matched-pair Signed rank Test. The findings revealed that the knowledge and skill of the samples before receiving the program at a moderate level (x̄= 16.00, S.D. = .471; x̄= 7.50, S.D. = 1.958, respectively). Meanwhile, the knowledge and skill of the samples after receiving the program are at a good level. Moreover, comparing knowledge and skill scores before and after receiving the program revealed that there are significant differences in the mean ranks of knowledge and skills at the level .01. Thus, knowledge and skill scores after development are higher than those before development. The results of this study can be used to apply the program to newly registered nurses to increase knowledge and skills for monitoring postpartum hemorrhage.
