The bleeding after delivery (Postpartum Hemorrhage-PPH) is the most important complications that occur after a natural or cesarean delivery, and represents about a quarter of maternal mortality around the world. Midwives play a basis role in preventi
on of bleeding after birth. So This research aims to evaluate the knowledge of midwives about using strategies to prevention and management the bleeding after delivery. Its sample included all midwives in obstetrics departments in Alasad University, Children and Obstetric, and Tishreen University Hospital all in Lattakia city. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed by researcher. The results according to strategies used in prevention and management of bleeding after delivery showed that 60% of the level of knowledge of midwives were "inappropriate". There were significant inverse relationship (P = 0.006) between ages of midwives and level of knowledge. Also showed a significant inverse relationship between number of years of experience with the midwives and level of knowledge (P = 0.01). So we suggest conducting training sessions and educational lectures for midwives with respect to the strategies used in prevention and management of bleeding after delivery, and must evaluate the midwives information about prevention and management of bleeding after delivery periodically and continuously.
