Abstract: The high focus states of India have higher maternal and neonatal mortality rates as compared to the national average. The quality of pre-service education (PSE) in nursing midwifery institutions in these states was found to be suboptimal. In 2013, Government of India implemented the PSE strengthening program across all public sector nursing midwifery institutions. The program focused on strengthening educational processes, training infrastructure, institutional management and clinical site practices by implementing a set of performance standards. To evaluate the effect of PSE strengthening program on institutional performance and maternal neonatal health (MNH) related competences of nursing midwifery students and faculty. Single group pre-post intervention study. 15 sampled public sector nursing midwifery institutions in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, India. Final-year students and faculty involved in teaching MNH subjects. Performance of 15 sampled institutions was assessed at baseline, midline and endline using the performance standards. Additionally, competences of 232, 295 and 298 students and 64, 62 and 63 faculty members at baseline, midline and endline respectively were assessed on six MNH related practices using objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). None of the institutions met 70% standards during baseline. At endline, 13 of the 15 institutions met these standards. The mean OSCE scores of students and faculty at baseline was 17.1 (SD: 8.0) and 23.5 (SD: 14.3) out of 76 respectively. It significantly increased to 66.4 (SD: 8.0) and 71.1 (SD: 5.2) during the endline. The proportion of students and faculty found competent (achieved 75% in OSCE) also significantly increased from none at baseline to 91% and 98% respectively, at endline. The combination of attributes included in the PSE strengthening program may have contributed to improvements in institutional performance as well as MNH related competences of nursing midwifery students and faculty. • Quality of nursing midwifery education was suboptimal in high-focus states of India. • Education strengthening program was implemented across public sector nursing midwifery institutions. • Institutional performance and competence of students and faculty were assessed at baseline, midline and endline. • 13 out of 15 institutions met minimum standards (70%) during endline as compared to none at baseline. • 91% of students and 98% of faculty found competent during endline as compared to none at baseline.
