Evaluation of the Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care training in Gondar, Ethiopia; a mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT: In Ethiopia maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality remains high. Timely access to quality emergency obstetric and neonatal care is essential for the prevention of adverse outcomes. Training healthcare providers can play an important role in improving quality of care, thereby reducing maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate change of knowledge, skills and behaviour in health workers who attended a postgraduate Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care training in Gondar, Ethiopia. A descriptive study with before-after approach, using a mix of quantitative and qualitative data, based on Kirkpatrick's model for training evaluation was conducted. The evaluation focussed on reaction, knowledge, skills, and change in behaviour in clinical practice
