Abstract: | Background & aim: The integrative review is the methodology that provides
synthesis of knowledge and its results could be applicable to practice. This is
achieved by analyzing previous studies and generating new perspectives on the
topic. This integrative literature review sought to review empirical and theoretical
literature considering the ways in which health professionals’ knowledge, skills,
and attitudes can be improved for the best maternal outcomes.
Methods: Keywords were identified, and medical subject headings were used to
formulate the search strategy. The search strategy was adapted according to
several databases, including Academic Search Complete, Health Source:
Nursing/Academic Edition, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. The present review
focused the period from 1996 to 2016. Review questions were designed, and
inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined.
Results: The initial search resulted in the extraction of 780 papers; however, after
screening the titles, abstracts, and duplicates only 12 articles were included in the
final review. Among all 12 articles, in-service training program was the main
intervention to update health professionals’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes in
order to achieve the best maternal outcomes. The reviewed articles focused on
teaching methods, frequency or duration of the training programs, and setting of
in-service training programs.
Conclusion: In-service training programs can improve the quality of healthcare
among nurses and midwives by increasing clinical knowledge and skills, as well as
changing health professional attitudes towards a more patient-centered approach. |
