Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of implementing a nursing management protocol regarding early recognition of maternal sepsis. Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at the Obstetric and Gynecology Department and Intensive Care Unit in Helwan General Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of 52 nurses working at the previously mentioned settings were recruited for the study. Two tools were used for data collection; I) A structured interviewing questionnaire, included socio demographic characteristics of the study nurses and assessment of nurses’ knowledge regarding maternal sepsis. II) Observational checklist for evaluating nursing management of maternal sepsis. Results showed that the majority of nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge before implementation of the protocol. However, slightly more than three quarters of them had satisfactory knowledge after implementation. As well, more than three quarters of them had inadequate practices toward maternal sepsis care before implementation of the protocol. Meanwhile, after implementation the majority of them had adequate practices. There was a highly statistically significant difference before/after implementing nursing management protocol regarding early recognition of maternal sepsis (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Nurses’ management protocol has a positive effect on nurses’ knowledge and practices regarding maternal sepsis. Recommendation: Continuous refreshment courses and follows up programs for nurses regarding maternal sepsis care are required.
