Many Guatemalan TMs speak indigenous dialects, with limited reading and writing skills, and may not fully comprehend this information. Additionally, TMs have previously requested instruction on how to measure blood pressure in order to improve outcomes for women developing preeclampsia. Prompt diagnosis of preeclampsia would enable TMs to make more timely decisions for transport to a hospital. The purpose of this quality improvement project therefore was to develop culturally sensitive oral educational activities in the native language of participants to improve their knowledge of preeclampsia and improve their skills in assessing blood pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Process<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The project used an action research methodology based on Leininger's cultural care theory. Trainers employed a variety of teaching methods such as repetition, triangulation, role\u2010plays, storytelling, hands\u2010on practice, return demonstrations, and pictorial Preeclampsia Reminder Cards. During a 2\u2010week period in August 2024, 179 TMs attended educational activities about preeclampsia in 11 groups located in the remote Pet\u00e9n. A 26\u2010item written pretest and posttest was used to evaluate changes in knowledge about preeclampsia. An 11\u2010item checklist was used to assess ability to correctly measure blood pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 179 TM participants, 49% were found to have limited reading and writing skills. Following the education methods, however, the group demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge when comparing the 26\u2010item pretest (N = 179, mean [SD], 16.02 [4.04]) with the posttest (mean [SD], 21.5 [4.69]);\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>178<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 12.262;\u00a0\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001. Some participants with limited reading and writing skills were provided 1:1 assistance writing down answers they provided to the tests.
