Abstract Objectives Data was gathered to study the impact of a context-specific modified WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (mSCC) at two tertiary care settings in Sri Lanka, as a part of an implementation program. Data description We provide data sets of a prospective observational study which was conducted in the University Obstetrics Unit at De Soysa Hospital for Women (DSHW), Colombo and two Obstetric Units at Teaching Hospital, Mahamodara, Galle (THMG), Sri Lanka. These consist of demographic and checklist implementation details and data on the level of acceptance. The study was conducted over 8 weeks at DSHW and over 4 weeks at THMG. Checklists were kept attached to clinical records at admission and collected on discharge. Level of acceptance was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. Outcome measures were adoption rate (percentage of deliveries where mSCC was used), adherence to practices (mean percentage of items checked in each checklist), response rate (percentage of staff members who responded to questionnaire) and level of acceptance (percentage of “strongly agree/agree” in Likert scale to five questions regarding acceptance of modified SCC).
