Abstract: (950 Views)

Background & Aim: Skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn is one of the most important standards of care in the first hour of birth. It is necessary to empower midwives during childbirth to promote skin-to-skin contact. The study aimed to investigate the impact of an evidence-based educational program on improving skin-to-skin contact guidelines for mothers and babies during the first hour after birth.
Materials & Methods: The study's evidence was obtained by combining the results of qualitative research and a systematic review, and an expert panel was held using the Delphi technique. Based on Kern's model, the intervention was designed by combining the results and evidence from the main study. The semi-experimental study, with pre-and post-design, was conducted on 74 midwives in the delivery rooms of two hospitals in Urmia. All the midwives in the delivery room participated in the study. The participants in the study completed the researcher-made questionnaire in three stages. Repeated measurement tests and the Bonferroni coefficient were used for data analysis using SPSS software version 17.0.
Results: The mean age of the participants in this study was 32.6 years. The majority of midwives (95.5%) had bachelor's degrees. The results showed an increase in the mean score of knowledge among midwives (p < 0.001), an increase in the mean score of attitude (p = 0.006), and an increase in the mean score of performance (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results an evidence-based educational intervention based on Kern's model can significantly increase midwives' knowledge, attitude, and performance in the delivery room in establishing skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn.
