description | Midwives (M) and obstetric nurses (ON) play a critical role in providing healthcare for pregnant patients at all stages of pregnancy, and ongoing training and education are essential to ensure the best outcomes. This longitudinal quantitative research study aimed to assess the impact of an educational program on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of 125 midwives and obstetric nurses regarding care for patients with gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension. The original questionnaire consisted of 56 items grouped into 3 subscales assessing knowledge (15 items), attitudes (18 items), and practices (23 items). The questionnaire was administered at three distinct intervals during the educational program: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up at three months. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients to determine the significance of the differences between the 3 moments of the administration of the questionnaire. There was a significant increase in the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of midwives and obstetric nurses following the training module, which was sustained at 3 months after completion compared to pre-training. The comparative analysis of the total scores for every 3 sets of items revealed the positive impact of the educational program on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of midwives and obstetric nurses. |
