Introduction/Background: A study involving 48 obstetric nurses explored the relationship between self-efficacy scores and demographic variables, and family-focused care during obstetrical emergencies. Methods: Obstetric Nursing Self-Efficacy Scale scores and demographic data were collected, and the Van Gelderen Family Care Rubric (VGFCR) was administered following simulation of obstetrical emergencies. Results: Two variables were found to influence the VGFCR scores. Nursing specialty certification and previous education in family-focused care. Conclusion: Improvements in the delivery of family-focused care can be achieved with simulation education and nursing specialty certification achievement.
