Background: Lesotho has been experiencing health challenges as indicated by its high maternal mortality ratio of 620 per 100 000 live births for the year 2010, which has been linked to its limited human resources.Objectives: The knowledge and skills of final-year student nurse-midwives related to the active management of the third stage of labour were determined.Method: A quantitative, descriptive survey design was used to conduct this study with 99 final-year midwifery students at four nursing schools in Lesotho using stratified sampling. The structured questionnaire collected data on the knowledge and self-reported competency. Subsequently, the controlled cord traction marks, extracted from the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), were compared to the self-reported competency of these midwifery students using R software version 3.4.0.Results: The mean score for knowledge and the OSCE was 73.8% (n = 99) and 77.2% (n = 99), respectively. The majority of respondents (95.2%, n = 99) rated themselves highly in terms of the active management of the third stage of labour competency. There was no correlation between the self-reported competency and knowledge (r = 0.08, p = 0.4402), and self-reported competency and OSCE scores (r = −0.004, p = 0.01).Conclusion: The high mean scores for the knowledge and the OSCE indicate that the theoretical component of the curriculum on the active management of the third stage of labour was effective in equipping final-year midwifery students with knowledge and skills to carry out this competency.

The most common cause of maternal death worldwide is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and Active Management of Third Stage of Labour (AMTSL) is the most important prophylactic intervention for prevention of PPH. A study was undertaken to assess the effect of AMTSL with and without uterine massage on maternal outcome among postnatal mothers in a selected hospital, WB. In this quasi-experimental study, Total 60 (Experimental Group-30, Control Group-30) postnatal mothers who undergone spontaneous vaginal delivery were selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique followed by randomization. The uterine massage is applied for 1 min immediately after placental delivery to 2 hours of postpartum at every 15 mins interval. The results revealed that there was no statistically significant difference of mean amount of postpartum bleeding between experimental and control group at 1st hour, 2nd hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours [t1= 1.06, t2= 1.52, t3=0.47, t4=0.26 at df (58), p>0.05]. The general condition (BP, Pulse, Respiration) after 1st hour, 2nd hour, 24 hours and 48 hours were comparable and statistically not significant between the two groups. There was no significant association between amount of postpartum bleeding and obstetrical parameters like parity, gravida, POG, presence of episiotomy, birth weight, time of placental delivery, presence of tear and time of initiation of breast feeding etc. for both groups. Based on the results of the current study, it can be concluded that the mothers who received the uterine massage along with AMTSL get no additional benefit as compared to control group. Keywords: Active management of third stage of labour (AMTSL); Uterine massage; Maternal outcome; Postnatal mother.
