Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a critical global health challenge, necessitating enhanced awareness of pregnancy danger signs among healthcare providers. Nurses, as primary healthcare providers, play a pivotal role in managing obstetric emergencies; thus, their preparedness is essential for improving maternal outcomes. Despite the significance of their role, there is limited understanding of nurses' knowledge regarding the management of danger signs during pregnancy, particularly in the Al-Basrah region. This study aimed to evaluate nurses' knowledge about managing pregnancy danger signs and explore correlations with demographic factors. Conducted at Al-Basrah Maternity and Children Hospital from December 31, 2023, to March 24, 2024, the study included 50 nurses. Findings revealed that nurses exhibited moderate knowledge (68%) about danger sign management, with significant correlations identified between knowledge and demographic factors such as age, education, and years of experience. However, residency showed no statistical significance. This research highlights specific deficiencies in nurses' knowledge regarding critical pregnancy complications and underscores the need for targeted educational interventions. The study suggests implementing comprehensive training programs to improve nurses' capabilities in recognizing and managing pregnancy danger signs, ultimately contributing to better maternal health outcomes in the region.

Abstract

Influenza poses significant health risks to pregnant women, leading to increased morbidity and mortality rates compared to the general population. Despite the proven efficacy of the influenza vaccine in mitigating these risks, vaccination rates among pregnant women remain suboptimal. This study examines nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding influenza vaccination for pregnant women within the AL-Zubair primary health sector in Basrah, Iraq, addressing the gap in understanding healthcare providers' roles in promoting vaccination. Prior research has highlighted the need for enhanced education and communication strategies among healthcare workers to improve vaccination uptake, yet specific data on nurses' knowledge in this context are limited. The study aims to assess nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding influenza vaccination for pregnant women. Among the 88 surveyed nurses, a majority demonstrated adequate knowledge and favorable attitudes towards vaccination, with significant gaps in awareness regarding the consequences of influenza for newborns. Notably, 51.1% acknowledged the vaccine's utility in protecting pregnant women. This research provides crucial insights into the educational needs of nurses, which are essential for fostering effective patient education strategies. The findings underscore the importance of targeted educational interventions to enhance nurses' understanding of influenza vaccination, ultimately aiming to improve vaccination rates among pregnant women and reduce associated health risks.
