To delineate the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that would characterise the domain of competencies of the midwife who is educated according to the international definition of the profession.
Phase I: a qualitative Delphi study; Phase II: a descriptive survey research process.
A stratified random sample of member organisations of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) and regulatory representatives from these same countries.
A list of basic (essential) and additional competencies for midwives who have been educated in keeping with the ICM/WHO/FIGO international definition of the midwife was developed through an interative Delphi process, and then affirmed, using a survey research method. The final list includes 214 individual task statements within six domains of midwifery practice.
This list of competencies can serve as a basis for educational curriculum design, as a guideline for regulatory policy development, as a reference document for individual practitioners in an assessment of their initial and continued competency and by the ICM and its member associations as a resource for advocating for the role of midwifery within health-care systems world-wide.
明确符合助产士国际职业定义的助产士能力领域所具备的知识、技能和行为。
第一阶段：定性德尔菲研究；第二阶段：描述性调查研究过程。
国际助产士联合会（ICM）成员组织的分层随机样本以及来自这些国家的监管代表。
通过迭代德尔菲法制定了一份符合ICM/WHO/FIGO助产士国际定义的助产士基本（必备）和附加能力清单，然后采用调查研究方法进行了确认。最终清单包括助产实践六个领域内的214条个人任务陈述。
这份能力清单可作为教育课程设计的基础、监管政策制定的指南、个体从业者评估其初始和持续能力的参考文件，以及ICM及其成员协会在全球医疗保健系统中倡导助产士角色的资源。
