The primary care level facilities-Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs), which accounted for nearly 70% of all public health deliveries, were not adequately prepared for providing basic emergency obstetric and newborn care. Less than 20% of the clinical providers Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) and Staff Nurses (SNs) had been trained as Skilled Birth Attendants (SBAs). The availability of essential newborn services such as newborn resuscitation, phototherapy for newborn and Vitamin K for newborns, was low. There was also a shortage of essential medicinal supplies  \nsuch as uterotonics, anti-hypertensive, injectable ampicillinand injectable gentamicin1.  \nThese findings pointed to the need to strengthen various aspects of facility preparedness for the provision of RMNCH services, includingthe need to strengthen the referral system for pregnant women and newborns with complications. Acknowledging this urgent need, Uttar Pradesh Technical Support Unit (UP TSU), a Unit implemented by IHAT, in partnership with University of Manitoba and launched the Nurse Mentoring Program in 2014, beginning with 150 blocks of 25 HPDs in Uttar Pradesh.  \n1The 2013 facility assessment study, IHAT  \nThe Nurse Mentoring Program 02  \nThe Nurse Mentoring Program    \nThe Nurse Mentoring program aimed to improve knowledge, skills and practices of the staff nurses around mother and newborncare, intra partum and post-partum care and management of maternal and new born complications, through its dedicated workforce/change agents called Nurse Mentors (NMs). The strategy involved creating a cadre of nursing professionals (Nurse Mentors) to improve the quality of care around birth in the facilities. This cadre was supported by a group of qualified public health professionals at district and zonal level, who provided mentoring and managerial support to the NMsand played a key role in supporting the health administration in systems strengthening at facility level. Atthe state level, program policy design, monitoring and clinical specialists were actively engaged in the program development.  \nThe Nurse Mentoring Program 03  \nNurse Mentors are a new cadre of nurses trained in clinical skills and quality improvement processes ina labor room setup. They strengthen the clinical competencies of the staff nurses and ANMs and also facilitate improvement in system level components. The NMs are posted at sub-district block facilities and District Women's Hospitals, where they work with health facility administration, staff nurses/labor room service providers and outreach ANMs to enhance the quality of care across the continuum of care formother and newborn.  \nThe NMs anchor the Nurse Mentoring Program and work towards improving upon five key clinical competencies of staff nursesand five critical facility systems as below:  \n\n| |  | CLINICAL COMPETENCIES\u003Cbr>OF STAFF NURSES | | SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING\u003Cbr>ATTHE FACILITY LEVEL |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 Initial rapid critical assessment of pregnant women and new born to identify complications\u003Cbr>|  |  | 1 Infection prevention including handwashing, sterilization of instruments and bio-medical waste segregation\u003Cbr>|  |\n| 2 Labor monitoring through\u003Cbr>partograph\u003Cbr>|  |  | 2 Supply chain particularly with regard to essential equipment, drugs and supplies in the labor room\u003Cbr>|  |\n| 3 Active management of third stage of labor\u003Cbr>|  |  | 3 Referral system that includes early detection of complications, pre-referral management and post-referral follow up\u003Cbr>|  |\n| 4 Essential newborn care\u003Cbr>|  |  | 4 Service integration with the community part","cbCaiafisihik2DW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiafisihik2DW","pdf",22935445,"English","# Background\n## Nurse Mentoring Program aims and strategy\n## Nurse mentors roles and placement\n## Core clinical competencies and facility systems strengthening\n## Key components and implementation framework","[{\"question\":\"What problem did the IHAT facility assessment identify in Uttar Pradesh?\",\"answer\":\"It found significant gaps in facility preparedness for RMNCH services, including inadequate emergency obstetric and newborn readiness at primary care level facilities, low training of providers as Skilled Birth Attendants, and limited availability of essential newborn services and medicinal supplies.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Nurse Mentoring Program?\",\"answer\":\"The program aims to improve staff nurses’ knowledge, skills, and practices for mother and newborn care across intra-partum and post-partum stages, including management of maternal and newborn complications, through trained Nurse Mentors.\"},{\"question\":\"Which five clinical competencies and five facility systems does the program focus on?\",\"answer\":\"Clinical competencies include initial critical assessment, labor monitoring via partograph, active management of third stage of labor, essential newborn care, and frequent assessment in the fourth stage.
