This can be curtailed by appropriate implementation of the educational interventionamong the health‑care providers. Hence, this review aimed to identify the literature evidence of theefficacy of various educational interventions training in the management of obstetric complications.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PUBMED, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Google Scholar,Cochrane, and maternity care databases with studies published from 2011 to 2021 for identifyingstudies related to this educational intervention review using MeSH terms and free terms. The searchprocess was also done on the websites of the World Health Organization and the reproductive healthlibrary in the English language. From the 1823 abstracts reviewed, 16 studies were included (15quasi‑experimental, 01 randomized clinical trial, and 01 exploratory research design). We identifiedstudies that included skill assessment of nurses, midwives, auxilliary nurse‑midwives (ANMs), medicalstudents, interns, and doctors after implementing various educational interventions.RESULTS: According to the findings of this literature, achieving enhanced nursing management ofobstetric complications has been developed. Especially, it suggests through better nursing trainingand education and also by providing sufficient resources, time, and coordination with obstetricspecialists, nurses and midwives will be able to implement their care roles, which include properdiagnosis, appropriate intervention, advanced care, client education, and psychological support. Theefficacy of each educational intervention varies and depends on the participants’ understanding,interest, and the advancement of the teaching‑learning method used.CONCLUSION: This systematic review reveals abroad and logical move towards the evaluation ofvarious educational interventions in the field of obstetric complications. Among all the educationalinterventions implemented, mobile application, and simulation‑based training play a major rolein improving the knowledge and skills of health‑care providers in the management of obstetriccomplications.

Read More BACKGROUND: Pain is a common health issue and acute pain is the main problem for patientsafter surgery and injury. Inadequate and inappropriate management of pain is dangerous and costlyfor patients and leads to undesirable health effects. To overcome this problem, empowerment ofthe health‑care team, especially nurses, is essential. Today, to improve the quality of health‑careprovision, various methods are used that e‑learning is one of them.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on the studies on pain management, existing parameterswere extracted, and according to them, the educational content of the software was approved bynursing professors and anesthesiologists. The Unified Modeling Language diagrams were designedto provide a better understanding of the entities and the order in which the software operates. Thesoftware was implemented in the google android studio environment using Photoshop and JQuerymobile. Finally, the software was evaluated by using Questionnaire for User Interface Satisfaction.The software was evaluated by experts and students in two stages. The first stage was evaluatedby eight anesthesiologists and nursing professors, and the second stage was evaluated with theparticipation of 55 undergraduate students and 28 M.Sc. nursing students.RESULTS: The software was developed with two main modules of training and testing, and sectionsof the report, about us and exit, and four scenarios for the test section. In the initial evaluation ofsoftware by experts with an average of 91.85%, and in the second assessment of students, with amean of 78.15%, application software was evaluated at a good level.CONCLUSIONS: In order to teach academic and practical (clinical) materials to students, the use ofdigital teaching aids and e‑learning, along with traditional methods such as lectures, increases thestudents’ eagerness, and motivation to learn more and thereby enhance the level of learning andimproving the quality of education.
