简要总结
The goal of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of the Simulation Based Mentorship Program (SBMP) which was implemented in four districts of Nepal. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the reach of the Simulation Based Mentorship Program?
- What is the effect of Simulation Based Based Mentorship Program on knowledge, clinical skills, and confidence of nurses working in Birthing Centers of four district of Nepal?
- How was the program adopted by the Birthing Centers?
- How was the program implemented?
- What is the perception regarding the maintenance of the program?
The nurses working in the Birthing Centers were the study participants, and they received simulation-based monthly mentorship on following seven modules related to essential obstetric and newborn care every month:
- Infection prevention
- Antenatal care and counseling
- Essential care of labor and birth
- Helping babies breathe
- Bleeding after birth
- Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia management
- Postnatal care and counseling
详细描述
As the evidence showed gaps in the knowledge and skills of existing maternal and newborn health providers, we designed a Simulation-Based Mentorship Program (SBMP) to bridge the gaps. In this program, local-level mentors were developed to provide regular mentorship using a low-dose high-frequency approach in contrast to one-time coaching in a long gap. This program combined the existing package of the continuum of care along with Helping Babies Survive (HBS) & Helping Mothers Survive (HMS) guidelines, adopting a simulation-based onsite mentoring and coaching approach.
The main aim of this mentorship program was to improve the quality of essential obstetric and newborn care provided by the nurses and Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) irrespective of their pre-service and in-service training exposure by identifying gaps, providing regular technical support on the site, building close relationships between mentors and mentees, and increasing communication, backed up by regular practice in simulation labs to help in skill retention. In this mentorship program, mentorship was provided to both the Skilled Birth Assistants (SBAs) and non-Skilled Birth Attendants in their workstations to capacitate them in promoting mother and newborn health outcomes.
Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (REAIM) Dimensions in the study were:
Reach
- Number and percentage of Birthing centers intervened in the district
- Number and percentage of nurses trained as district-level mentors
- Number and percentage of nurses (and Auxiliary Nurse Midwives) receiving the intervention (simulation-based mentorship)
- Perception regarding the representativeness of participants in the program

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge, confidence and skills on seven modules
时间窗: 1 year
The knowledge and confidence scores of intervention and control group's nurses in all seven modules were compared before and after the study. However, skills scores of seven modules were measured only in intervention group's nurses. The overall maximum obtainable score was 127 points for knowledge assessment, 210 points for confidence assessment, and 340 points for skills assessment. The scores obtained by the participants were expressed as percentage, and a mean score was calculated for each module. A score of 80% or more was considered to be appropriate. High scores indicated better outcome, and low scores indicated poor outcome.
