Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effects of a maternal-child health education program for nurses in Tigray, Ethiopia. Methods: One-group pre-posttest design was used. The maternal-child health (MCH) education program was given to nurses from 5 health centers in Tigray, Ethiopia. Knowledge and confidence levels were measured before and after each education session. Data were analyzed using paired t-test. Results: The topics of the 5 educational sessions were family planning, antenatal care, care during labor, immunization, and integrated management of neonate, and child illness. Knowledge scores (1st: Z=3.931, p=.001; 2nd: Z=6.189, p <.001; 3rd: Z=5.658, p <.001, 4th: Z=8.734, p <.001, 5th: Z=14.167, p <.001) and confidence levels (1st: Z=8.467, p <.001; 2nd: Z=4.183, p <.001; 3rd: Z=4.992, p <.001) improved significantly. Conclusion: The findings of this study imply that the MCH education program for nurses was effective in developing the maternal-child health capacity of the nurses in Tigray, Ethiopia.

목적 본 연구는 저개발국 모자건강관리에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 보건소 간호사의 역량강화를 위해 에티오피아 티그라이 주에서 모자 보건 간호사 교육을 시행하고 지식과 수행자신감에 대한 효과를 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 방법 에티오피아 티그라이 주 일개 지역의 5개 보건소 모자보건 간호사 21-34명씩을 대상으로 모자보건 관련한 5개 주제-가족계획, 산전관리, 분만 및 산후관리, 영유아 예방접종, 아동건강관리-에 대한 교육을 시행한 후 지식과 수행자신감을 교육 전과 후에 설문조사로 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과 모자보건 관련 5개 모든 주제에서 지식과 수행자신감이 교육 전에 비해 교육 후 유의하게 상승하였으며, 교육 만족도도 100점 만점에 77-80점으로 높은 편이었다. 결론 모자보건 관련 교육을 통해 지역사회 보건소 간호사들의 지식과 수행자신감이 유의하게 향상됨을 확인하였으며, 향후 실제적인 수행 정확도와 서비스 제공률의 향상 등을 통해 궁극적인 교육효과를 확인해 볼 수 있을 것이다.
