Abstract:

A. Background: Postnatal sepsis is one of the problems that threaten mothers' lives, although it can be avoided by taking the necessary precautions. The midwife represents the cornerstone in preventing and treating infections during the postpartum period.
B. Stud design: This semi-experimental study Sudan, River Nile state to evaluate the effectiveness of designed guidelines for traditional birth attendants (TBAs) regarding postnatal sepsis management from July 2019to January 2020.
C. Sample size: The study included 37TBAs.
D. Data collection tools: Data were collected using a standard questionnaire before and after the training program.
E. Data analysis: The data were analyzed by a computer software program (SPPS) version 23.
F. Result: The result showed that the level of knowledge is improved significantly after guidelines interventions concerning the definition of postnatal sepsis, hygiene, particularly perineal and vulval care, life-threatening conditions which may result from puerperal sepsis (77.7%,45.5%, 66.7%), respectively compared to pre-intervention phase(0 %, 16.7%, 33.3%). The midwives showed good knowledge after the intervention.
G. Conclusion: The study concluded that the majority of traditional birth attendants have some knowledge regarding postnatal infection management, which improved significantly after guidelines interventions
