Abstract
Background: Obstetric triage is a vital clinical process that enables maternity nurses to prioritize care based on the severity of maternal conditions, thereby reducing delays and improving outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of implementing an obstetric triage training program on the maternity nurses’ clinical competence and satisfaction. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 46 maternity nurses at Menoufia University Hospital. Data were collected using three tools:  Structured questionnaire, an observational triage practice checklist, and a nurses’ satisfaction survey. Results statistically significant improvements across all measured outcomes. The proportion of nurses with good knowledge increased from 2.2% to 84.8%, competent practice rose from 13% to 78.3%, and overall satisfaction improved from 67.4% to 100% (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusion: The training program significantly enhanced maternity nurses’ performance and satisfaction. Recommendations: Integration of obstetric triage education into hospital protocols and nursing curricula is strongly recommended to ensure standardized, high-quality maternal emergency care.
