Examining the use, confidence, and barriers to follow Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) course guides in managing obstetric emergencies in Sudan
© 2024. The Author(s)..
BACKGROUND: The Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) course is a globally recognized interprofessional training program designed to assist healthcare professionals in acquiring and sustaining the necessary knowledge and skills to handle obstetric emergencies effectively. This survey aimed to assess the use, barriers, and confidence in using the ALSO course guidelines in managing obstetric emergencies in Sudan.
METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study involved 103 physicians from the Sudan ALSO group in Sudan. A structured, close-ended questionnaire was distributed electronically to the participants. Data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package of Social Sciences Software version 26.
RESULTS: More than half of the participants were specialists (54.4%). Although all respondents claimed to adhere to the ALSO guidelines for managing shoulder dystocia, a lower percentage followed them for neonatal resuscitation (75.0%) and maternal venous thrombosis management (68.9%). Only 62.1% of participants felt confident performing neonatal resuscitation. The main barriers to implementing the ALSO course guidelines were the respondents' preference for other guidelines and their belief that the guidelines were not applicable in their specific settings.
CONCLUSION: The majority of participants displayed a high level of confidence, indicating a positive perception of the guide's effectiveness. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in areas such as neonatal resuscitation and forceps-assisted births, where confidence levels were lower. Addressing barriers, including the preference for other guidelines and the applicability of the guide in specific settings, is crucial to ensure widespread adoption. Refresher training programs, contextual adaptations, and the integration of guidelines may help overcome these barriers and enhance the overall implementation of the ALSO guide in managing obstetric emergencies in Sudan.
