This study assessed the knowledge and self-reported practice of AMTSL among midwives in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to determine the level of knowledge of AMTSL among midwives, assess their self-reported practice of AMTSL, and identify factors associated with the knowledge and practice of AMTSL. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target population comprised registered midwives working in the labour ward and other maternal health units of AKTH with at least one year of professional experience. A sample size of 80 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane (1967) formula. Data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire consisting of four sections: socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge of AMTSL, self-reported practice of AMTSL, and factors associated with knowledge and practice. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach’s Alpha, which yielded a coefficient of 0.82, indicating good internal consistency. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentages, were used to present the findings. The results revealed that the majority of respondents demonstrated a good level of knowledge of AMTSL, with most midwives correctly identifying its key components, including uterotonic administration, controlled cord traction, and uterine massage. The study also showed that midwives reported a high level of practice of AMTSL during routine deliveries. Factors such as availability of clinical guidelines, regular in-service training, adequate drug supply, and supportive supervision were identified as important determinants of knowledge and practice....Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University
