Eclampsia represents one of the most common problems of pregnancy that lead to increased
maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Objective: Determine the effect of high fidelity
simulation based training program on intern students' knowledge and skills about management of
eclamptic fits. Setting: The (OSCE) lab at the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University and El-
Shatby Maternity University Hospital. Subjects: A simple random sample of 60 intern students were
randomly divided into two equal group, a study and control group 30 for each group. Tools: Two
tools were used: (I) Intern Students' Knowledge about Management of Eclamptic Fits Questionnaires
(II) Intern Students' Skills about Management of Eclamptic Fits Observational Checklist. Results: The
total mean scores of knowledge in the study group was (209.97+13.06) compared to (137.10+34.28)
of the control group, and the total mean scores of skills in the study group was (193.87+4.78)
compared to (97.73±18.3) of the control group after intervention. Conclusion: The study hypothesis is
accepted, where the study group had higher knowledge and skills levels than the control group.
Recommendations: Pre-service and in-service competency-based training on the high fidelity
simulation based training should target all maternity nurses.
