In military treatment facilities, either perioperative registered nurses or labor and delivery (L&amp;D) nurses provide skilled intraoperative nursing care for cesarean deliveries. However, L&amp;D and perioperative nurses occupy vastly different roles in the continuum of care and may possess widely differing levels of surgical training and experience.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The purpose of this project was to improve surgical care quality by standardizing and strengthening L&amp;D nurse perioperative training, knowledge, and competence. Our population, intervention, comparative, and outcome question was, \u201cFor labor and delivery nurses of a regional military medical center (P), does implementing an evidence-based training program (I), as compared to current institutional nursing practices (C), increase nursing knowledge and perioperative nursing competence (O)?\u201d We implemented Periop 101: A Core Curriculum\u2014Cesarean Section training for 17\u2009L&amp;D nurses, measured knowledge using product-provided testing, and assessed competence using the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We found that perioperative nursing knowledge and competence significantly improved and were less varied among the nurses after completing the training program. Nurses demonstrated the greatest knowledge area improvements in scrubbing, gowning, and gloving; wound healing; and sterilization and disinfection, for which median scores improved by more than 100%. Nurses reported significantly greater perceived competence across all six domains of the Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised, with the largest improvements realized in foundational skills and
