description Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) stands as the foremost contributor to maternal mortality rates worldwide. It represents the most prevalent form of obstetric haemorrhage, with even healthy mothers facing potential fatality within a mere two-hour window if PPH remains undetected. This study explores the correlation between the professional experience, Knowledge, and Performance of nurses/midwives concerning postpartum haemorrhage. Method: Sixty nurses/midwives stationed in the delivery room and postpartum ward of a maternity teaching hospital in Sulaimani, Iraq, participated in a descriptive (correlational) research endeavour. Data collection spanned six consecutive months, from September 2021 to April 2022, employing an observation checklist and a self-administered questionnaire. Result: The study findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between Knowledge and Performance, the duration of service (experience) in the delivery room, and the cumulative years of service, as evidenced by a p-value lower than the standard alpha of 0.05. Conclusion: The results denote a statistical nexus between overall Knowledge and Performance and the duration of service and experience in the delivery room. Recommendation: Based on these findings, it is recommended that nurses/midwives with extensive professional experience and robust Knowledge of PPH be assigned to the delivery room and postpartum department, as this approach holds promise for reducing PPH incidence rates.
