Abstract

Background
The main preventable cause of maternal death and illness worldwide remains postpartum hemorrhage, an
obstetric emergency related to vaginal birth and cesarean section.
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of nurses and midwives on postpartum hemorrhage before and
after an educational program was implemented.
Materials and Methods
Sixty nurses and midwives who worked in the delivery room and postpartum ward at a maternity teaching
hospital in Sulaimani, Iraq, participated in a quasi-experimental study.
Results
The majority of the participants, 76.7% of Nurses/Midwives, had inadequate knowledge regarding PPH in the
pretest, and 68.3% had good knowledge in the posttest. There are statistically significant differences between
the pretest & posttest in Knowledge PPH (χ^2= 87.758, p-value=0.000).
Conclusion
The majority of nurses and midwives had poor knowledge of PPH before the implementation of the educational
program, but after being exposed to it, their knowledge significantly increased.
