Abstract
Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is a critical obstetric emergency and continues to be one of the leading causes of the maternal mortality and morbidity globally. It is estimated that PPH accounts approximately 25% of all maternal deaths. Professionals, play a vital role in managing obstetric emergencies such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, many lack adequate preparation and confidence in handling these situations due to limited exposure to emergency training during their education. To address this gap, integrating ongoing simulation-based training into nursing curricula is essential. Simulation allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in realistic clinical scenarios, improving their critical thinking, clinical decision-making, and hands-on skills. When guided by standardized protocols and evidence-based guidelines, such training equips student nurses with the competence needed for the early recognition and timely management of PPH, ultimately improving maternal outcomes. The result of one of the study conducted to assess effectiveness of high- fidelity simulation-based teaching learning on knowledge regarding postpartum hemorrhage among 88 undergraduate nursing students revealed that, the mean knowledge score in the pretest of undergraduate nursing students was M=9.74±3.250 whereas the posttest mean knowledge score of undergraduate nursing student was M=16.27±2.22. The study concluded that high fidelity simulation-based teaching learning increases the knowledge of undergraduate students.19. Many of student nurses who are the future first line professional figure in health care delivery don’t possess adequate knowledge and skills regarding management of PPH as they are not adequately trained to handle emergencies. So, student nurses need to be engaged in many educational teachings, one among them is ongoing simulation training which will update their knowledge, vigilant clinical competencies skills and accurate clinical judgments based on universal guidel
