Postpartum hemorrhage has a primary and important place in the pre- and post-graduate education of midwives, who are primarily responsible for maternal health. This research aims to develop the knowledge and skills of midwifes in obstetrics units through simulation method in postpartum haemorrhage management. The research is in a quasi-experimental, single-group pre-test and post-test design. A training included 28 midwives who agreed to participate in the research between June 1st and July 14th. This educational intervention lasted for 24 hours and included theoretical, skills training and skills training accompanied by scenarios, and it was designed to be given in the hospital. Gathered data were evaluated through SPSS package software. Knowledge and skills before and after the educational intervention, and Self-Confidence/Efficiency Scale scores in Patient Intervention were found to be statistically significant. An increase in all scores before and after the educational intervention was observed. When these two hospitals were compared, some differences emerged. Simulation improves both knowledge and skills even for a difficult subject such as postpartum hemorrhage, but there are differences between hospitals due to differences in practice. This may mean that we need to share our experiences more with each other.
