Evaluating the Quality of Nursing Care During Caesarean Sections: A Field Study at Al-Jumhuri Hospital and 22 May Hospital in Sana'a, 2024

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the quality level of nursing care provided in cesarean delivery units at Al-Jumhuri and 22 May Hospitals in Sana’a. It also sought to identify the impact of demographic variables and professional experience on the quality of care. A descriptive methodology was employed, involving a random sample of 102 nurses and midwives. Data were collected using a specially designed questionnaire and analyzed statistically using SPSS software through frequencies, percentages, and arithmetic means.

The results indicated that the overall level of nursing care quality was moderate, at 69.1%, a trend consistent across the three stages of cesarean delivery (preoperative 69.8%, intraoperative 68%, and postoperative 69.7%). Most aspects of care were rated at a moderate level, except for the use of the partograph, which was rated low at 58.8%. Statistically significant differences in quality levels were found based on years of experience, particularly among staff with more than 10 years of service, while educational level and age showed no notable impact.

The study recommends activating continuous training and qualification programs focused on quality care policies, with emphasis on enhancing documentation skills and the use of advanced tools to ensure improved quality standards and achieve patient safety and satisfaction.
