Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the effect of the medium level simulation-based training about “Emergencies in and Approaches to Delivery” given to the personnel working in emergency health services on the change in their current knowledge about emergency interventions in delivery.

Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design. It was carried out with 232 personnel working in emergency health services. Data were collected using “Information Form” and “Knowledge Test for Emergencies in Delivery (ED)”. The study included the teaching of the relevant topics to the participants, administration of the knowledge test, the application of the subjects taught using a simulator in the laboratory.

Results: Of the emergency health service personnel participating in the study, 68.5% were found to not have adequate knowledge for emergencies in delivery. As a result of the training given, the mean of the total pretest score obtained from the ED was 37.17±10.36, and the mean of the total posttest score was 70.14±11.33, and the post-training difference was found to be statistically significant.

Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be said that the training given to the emergency health service personnel increased their knowledge about emergencies in and approaches to delivery significantly and that the education was effective.
