Purpose: Maternal and newborn healthcare is fundamental to achieving positive health
outcomes in a country. The implementation of the curriculum on emergency obstetrics and
neonatal care (EmONC) plays a crucial role in preparing skilled birth attendants. This study
aimed to assess training institutional factors influencing curriculum implementation on
emergency obstetrics and neonatal care for faith-based diploma nursing students in Meru and
Tharakanithi County.
Methodology: A total of n=216 (84.7%) responses (second-year and third-year diploma in
nursing programs students) were received out of a target population of N=255 (100%)
respondents while a total of n=10 (90.9%) responses (nurse educators) were received out of a
target population of N=11(100%) respondents. Data was collected through an online-
administered questionnaire to nursing students and nurse educators. In addition, key informant
interviews were used to collect qualitative data from nurse educators. Data was cleaned coded,
and entered into the scientific package for social sciences (SPSS) software vs. 27. Descriptive
and inferential statistics were used to interpret findings.
Results: Bivariate correlation, showed a strong positive correlation coefficient of 0.898 and
0.640 for nurse educators and students respectively, and are all statistically significant
(p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study concluded that training institutional factors positively influence
implementation of curriculum on EmONC in Meru and Tharakanithi County. Based on the
findings of this study the study recommends several actions to improve curriculum
implementation in EmONC. The college administration needs to avail necessary resources in
the classroom and skill lab to facilitate learning in EmONC and make arrangementsfor students
to get preservice EmONC if possible before graduation.
