Background of the Study
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality globally, especially in low-resource settings. The timely recognition and management of PPH are critical to preventing maternal deaths. Nurses, who are often the first healthcare providers to attend to women after childbirth, play a crucial role in managing postpartum hemorrhage. Their knowledge of PPH management protocols and adherence to these guidelines are essential in ensuring positive maternal outcomes.
In Taraba State, where maternal mortality remains high, assessing nurses’ knowledge and adherence to postpartum hemorrhage management protocols is vital for improving care and reducing mortality rates. This study seeks to evaluate nurses' knowledge and adherence to PPH management protocols and identify factors influencing these practices.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of postpartum hemorrhage management protocols, many nurses in Taraba State may not be fully equipped to recognize or manage PPH effectively. This lack of knowledge and adherence to protocols could contribute to avoidable maternal deaths. This study will assess the level of knowledge and adherence to PPH management protocols among nurses in Taraba State and explore potential areas for improvement.
