Description The following Masters of Nursing thesis aims to promote patient safety by first increasing nurse knowledge about high-risk complications postpartum patients can experience and secondly by providing nurses the tools to improve skills in teaching postpartum education.
Abstract Maternal death rates are rising in the United States, yet many nurses are unaware of the leading cause of death of postpartum patients. Nurses are overwhelmed by the amount of education they must provide patients. Nurses spend limited time teaching patients about high-risk complications that can lead to death. This project aims to promote patient safety by first increasing nurse knowledge about high-risk complications postpartum patients can experience and secondly by providing nurses the tools to improve skills in teaching postpartum education. This project will include resources to help standardize postpartum discharge education. Education will benefit postpartum nurses by improving their knowledge and skills to help increase their confidence in providing effective patient education. Nurses will ensure patients correctly understand the education received through the teach-back method. Postpartum patients will also benefit from this project through an increased understanding of postpartum complications to reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes.
