Effect of Skill Birth Attendant Training to Improve the Competency of Service Providers
Effectiveness of Modular Skilled Birth Attendant Training to Improve the Competencies of Service Providers and Maternal Newborn Health in Nepal: A Randomized Control Pilot Trial
This clinical trial's primary goal is to compare birth attendants' competencies. It aims to answer the questions:
- Does the new modular training package enhance the competencies of skilled birth attendants?
- Does the competencies of skilled birth attendants relates to improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Nepal?
- Is this training module a cost-effective intervention?
Participants' knowledge, attitude, and skills will be assessed and it will be compared with standard training groups: Researchers will compare the competencies of birth attendants who receive modular training versus standard training to see if an increment in competencies is associated with maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Experimental: Skill birth attendants who trained on new modular training package
Maternal and child health service providers (skilled birth attendants) will be trained using modular training that covers both theory and practical sessions on midwifery skills. Auxiliary nurse midwives should complete modules 1, 2, and 3 whereas nurses will get modules 1, 2, 3, and 4. The training will be implemented in National Health Training Center-accredited training sites/ hospitals. |
It is an intervention targeted to enhance the competencies of Maternal Neonatal Health (MNH) service providers (skilled birth attendants) in Nepal.
It is a capacity-building intervention that is expected to contribute to reducing maternal and neonatal morbidities and mortalities by improving the midwifery competencies (knowledge, attitudes, and skills) of MNH service providers.
|
Active Comparator: Skill birth attendants who trained on existing standard training package
Maternal and child health service providers (auxiliary nurse midwives and nurses) get training based on the existing standard skilled birth attendant training curriculum of Nepal. This is a two-month-long integrated skill birth attendant package implemented in National Health Training Center-accredited training sites. The midwifery competencies of these service providers will be assessed and compared with the competencies of experimental groups. |

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Effectiveness assessment of modular skilled birth attendant training package
Time Frame: "1 year"
|
The health workers who get new modular skill birth attendant training are expected to be more competent to provide midwifery services.
Hence, this training is specifically targeted to improve midwifery knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
