Background Clarifying the dimensions and characteristics of obstetric telephone triage is important in improving the quality of services in the health system because researchers can evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, care and diagnostic measures in the form of obstetric telephone triage by developing a guideline. Therefore, this study aimed to design an Obstetric Telephone Triage Guideline (OTTG) using a mixed-method study. Methods The present study was carried out using an exploratory sequential mixed method study in two qualitative and quantitative phases. An inductive-deductive approach was also used to determine the concept of obstetric telephone triage. In this respect, a qualitative study and a literature review were used in the inductive and deductive stages, respectively. Moreover, the validity of the developed guideline was confirmed based on experts’ opinions and results of the AGREE II tool. Results The guideline included the items for evaluating the severity of obstetric symptoms at five levels including “critical”, “urgent”, “less urgent”, “no urgent”, and “recommendations”. The validity of the guideline was approved at 96%, 95%, 97%, 95%, 93%, and 100% for six dimensions of AGREE II including scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, the rigor of development, clarity of presentation, applicability, and editorial independence, respectively. Conclusion The OTTG is a clinically comprehensive, easy-to-use, practical, and valid tool. This guideline is a standardized tool for evaluating the severity of symptoms and determining the urgency for obstetrics triage services. By using this integrated and uniform guideline, personal biases can be avoided, leading to improved performance and ensuring that patients are not overlooked. Additionally, the use of OTTG promotes independent decision-making and reduces errors in triage decision-making.

Triage in hospitals typically is associated with emergency departments that aim to categorize and prioritize patients who present for emergent or urgent care before detailed evaluation and management. Aim of study:The study aimed to assess the perception of emergency department nurses regarding obstetric triage. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. The study was conducted at emergency department of Badr University Hospital. Convenience sample was used for this study. All nurses (150 nurses males and females) working at emergency department at Badr University Hospital. Two data collection tools was used to carry out the current study namely; A structured self-administered questionnaire, and nurses' perception questionnaire. Results: Majority of nurses showed good grand total perception (82.7%), while (17.3%) showed poor grand total perception. Nurses had poor knowledge showed higher percentage of poor grand total perception(83.3%), while nurses had either moderate or good knowledge showed higher percentages in good grand total perception (80.6% and 90.3%) respectively. Conclusion: There were no statistical significant differences between the studied nurses' socio-demographic characteristics and groups of total score of knowledge about obstetric triage (p>0.05 for each item). Recommendations: Periodic assessment for nurses' perception and knowledge regarding obstetric triage in emergency department, providing sufficient training for nurses regarding obstetric triage in emergency department and all nurses in other departments of the hospital.
