Tools: three tools were used; Tool(I): structured interviewing questionnaire regarding socio-demographic data and assessment of maternity nursing students' knowledge regarding postpartum hemorrhage management , Tool (II): observational practice checklist, Tool (III): Modified Self-confidence measurement Scale, Result: the finding reveals that; there was a highly significant statistical positive correlation between studied students' total knowledge score, total practices score and total self-confidence score regarding postpartum hemorrhage management at post intervention phase.. Conclusion: The findings Based on the results of simulation based education supported the research hypothesis and achieved the current study that the maternity nursing students'who attended the simulation based educational program achieved higher score of knowledge , practice and attitude as compare to their mean pre test scores . Recommendations It is advised that high-fidelity simulation be incorporated into the maternity nursing education curriculum, with a specific focus on postpartum hemorrhage management.
