Preeclamptic Pregnancy Care Education
Condition: Preeclampsia; Nurse's Role
MeSH terms: Pre-Eclampsia
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of simulation training in nurses and midwives
      on knowledge and self-efficacy regarding preeclamptic pregnancy care.

      It is an important step in providing safe care to patients, as a learning environment is
      provided in which environmental risks are minimized with simulation applications.
      Simulation-based trainings are environments that allow each student to learn, equitable,
      based on adult learning principles, and open to different learning styles. The interests and
      needs in these environments are defined together by the learner and the educator. By keeping
      the experiences of the learner at the forefront, the opportunity is given to learn by doing
      and supported with feedback.

      Preeclampsia is clinically defined as a blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or above after the 20th
      week of pregnancy and the addition of proteinuria (300mg / 24 hours). It can develop in about
      5-10% of all pregnancies. It is defined as a nulliparous disease since it is seen in
      approximately 85% of women during their first pregnancy. Preeclampsia constitutes 15% of the
      causes of maternal mortality in our country.

      In studies evaluating the effectiveness of simulation training in planning the follow-up and
      care of preeclampsia, it was determined that this method increases the knowledge and
      self-confidence of nurses. For example; Christian and Krumwiede's study they found that the
      self-efficacy rates were significantly higher in the post-simulation test. In his study,
      Olubumno investigated the importance of simulation in increasing the critical thinking of
      perinatology nurses in the care of preeclamptic pregnant women, he found that the pre-test
      and post-test scores increased by 0.75 points, and this difference between the scores is
      statistically significant. Tabatabaeian et al., In their study comparing the effects of
      simulation-based education, coeducation and theoretical education on the performance of
      midwives in preeclampsia and eclampsia, found that the mean of the simulation group was
      higher than the other two groups.

      Preeclampsia is an important obstetric emergency in women's health and disease nursing. Thus,
      when they start working in the clinic, it is aimed to be able to suspect preeclampsia with
      the anamnesis they received from the pregnant who applied to them, and to gain them with the
      simulation method what they should pay attention to and how to do in the follow-up of the
      pregnant woman hospitalized with the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Studies conducted in our
      country did not include studies involving students and healthcare professionals in the
      management of preeclampsia with simulation methods. Therefore, it is aimed to contribute to
      the literature with this study.
