Combining Virtual and High-fidelity Simulation to Foster Confidence and Competency in Postpartum Assessment Complications among Undergraduate Nursing Students

In Canada, postpartum hemorrhage was reported as a the second most common severe maternal morbidity from 2010 to 2015 and is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide (Public  Health Agency of Canada, 2017). In 2017, there were 376,291 live births reported in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2019). Of the live births reported, 53,706 were from the province of Alberta, making it the province with the third highest birth rate. (Statistics Canada, 2019). Since maternal and infant mortality is a key indicator of a country's health status, it is important to explore how undergraduate nursing programs are preparing new nurses to transition into maternal child settings.
