Summary

The goal of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of the Simulation Based Mentorship Program (SBMP) which was implemented in four districts of Nepal. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the reach of the Simulation Based Mentorship Program?
2. What is the effect of Simulation Based Based Mentorship Program on knowledge, clinical skills, and confidence of nurses working in Birthing Centers of four district of Nepal?
3. How was the program adopted by the Birthing Centers?
4. How was the program implemented?
5. What is the perception regarding the maintenance of the program?

The nurses working in the Birthing Centers were the study participants, and they received simulation-based monthly mentorship on following seven modules related to essential obstetric and newborn care every month:

1. Infection prevention
2. Antenatal care and counseling
3. Essential care of labor and birth
4. Helping babies breathe
5. Bleeding after birth
6. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia management
7. Postnatal care and counseling

Simulation Based Mentorship Program

In this program, local level mentors were developed to provide regular mentorship on low-dose high-frequency approach in contrast to one-time coaching in a long gap. This program combined the existing package of the continuum of care along with Helping Babies Survive (HBS) \& Helping Mothers Survive (HMS) guidelines, adopting a simulation-based onsite mentoring and coaching approach. The mentors provided monthly mentorship on following seven modules topics to the nurses of the intervention birthing centers: 1. Infection prevention 2. Antenatal care and counseling 3. Essential care of labor and birth 4. Helping babies breathe 5. Bleeding after birth 6. Essential care of labor and birth 7. Postnatal care and counseling Every monthly session was followed by four weekly practice sessions. The nurses from intervention birthing centers were also called mentees.
