Result: In the sociodemographic characteristics, 38% are between 23 and 28 years old, 68% are women and 76% received previous information about the tool, in terms of basic knowledge, the dimensions with the greatest mastery were patient identification, reception and assessment (88%), while the registration of activities reached only 60%, in physiological parameters, 80% recognized blood pressure and proteinuria, but only 40% identified the state of consciousness as a key component. Conclusion: Students present a partial 58% knowledge of the Mama Score, with strengths in initial procedures, but critical deficiencies in essential aspects such as neurological status and activation of obstetric keys, which highlights the need to strengthen academic and clinical training in this early warning tool.
