Partograph is a pictorial graphical representation of a woman’s progress of labour and a warning document signaling complications during labor. Studies had revealed that inadequate knowledge of parameters documentation on partograph of obstetric care workers results in prolong labour, obstructed labour and eventual increase in maternal and infant mortality. Hence this study assessed the effect of intervention package on partograph documentation ability of obstetric care workers in selected health facilities in Saki Oyo state, Nigeria. This study adopted a one group pretest – post-test quasi experimental research design. The population comprised 120 obstetric care workers. A purposive non-probability sampling technique was used to select 48 participants for the study group. Test paper on Knowledge of Partograph documentation (T-KPC) was used for data collection. Data were collected over four weeks in three sessions of pre- intervention, intervention and post intervention stages. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the knowledge of partograph documentation scores among the obstetric care workers at the pre-intervention stage shows that they had a mean score of 15.94 (53.1%) while knowledge of partograph documentation mean score (26.81; 89.4%) after intervention was good. The study also revealed that there was significant difference in the pre and post intervention mean score on knowledge of partograph documentation among the participants (mean difference = 10.87, t₍₄₆₎ = 9.657, p = .000). The study concluded that the intervention package improved the knowledge of partograph documentation of OCWs. Therefore, OCWs should be provided with appropriate in-service training on documentation of partograph regularly.
