| description | Background: This study aims to investigate the ability of nurse assistants in midwifery care in Bhutan to apply their knowledge and skills after attending the training programme. Methods: A qualitative methodology was utilized in this study, in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview guide questionnaire with five nurse assistants, three district health officers, and two medical doctors from hospitals. The interviews (n=10) were conducted onsite at basic health units in URA and Tang, Bhutan. Results: The data analysis of their perceptions yielded three major categories: (1) Confirmability, the Quality of knowledge and skills of the program; (2) Credibility, Effectiveness, and comprehensiveness of the programme; and (3) Transferability and Dependability, Application of knowledge and skills learned from the programme. Conclusion: The paper provides a training method appropriate for the assistant midwifery nurses. Results from in-depth interviews with assistant nurses, their officers, and medical doctors provided details on how nurses were able to apply their knowledge to work at basic health units in Bhutan. The study provided an effective methodology and a model for future short course training for midwifery nurses. ? 2024, South Asian Midwives Association (SAMA). All rights reserved. |
