To develop, pilot and validate a number of scenarios which encompass all of the International Confederation of Midwives' (ICM) competency statements and which are of relevance in various European countries, both those in the European Union and those which might become members in the future.
27 Scenarios designed to encompass all ICM competencies were tested using qualitative interviews.
Slovenia, Germany, Scotland, Kosovo.
68 Experienced midwives from Slovenia, 58 from Germany, 63 from Scotland and 76 from Kosovo.
Although midwives found it difficult to relate to the scenarios dealing with pre-conception competencies, after revision, all scenarios were appropriate for use in all four countries.
The scenarios embrace all of the ICM's essential competencies for midwives in each of the countries involved. Additionally, they have face validity as shown by the spread of responses to each of the scenarios.
The scenarios may be used with confidence by experienced midwives in each of the areas involved. It is also possible that the scenarios can be used for education and assessment purposes. By considering the European perspective of the project, they also offer the potential to support the mobility of midwives moving between countries within Europe by assessing competence with regard to local practices in the new situation.
制定、试点和验证涵盖国际助产士联盟（ICM）所有能力陈述的多种情景，并使其与欧洲各国相关，包括欧盟成员国和未来可能成为成员国的国家。
为涵盖 ICM 所有能力而设计的 27 个情景已通过定性访谈进行了测试。
斯洛文尼亚、德国、苏格兰、科索沃。
来自斯洛文尼亚的 68 名有经验的助产士、来自德国的 58 名、来自苏格兰的 63 名和来自科索沃的 76 名。
尽管助产士发现与涉及受孕前能力的情景相关具有一定难度，但经过修订后，所有情景都适合在这四个国家使用。
这些情景涵盖了所涉及的每个国家的助产士的 ICM 基本能力。此外，由于每个情景的反应广泛，因此它们具有表面有效性。
有经验的助产士在每个相关领域都可以自信地使用这些情景。这些情景也可用于教育和评估目的。通过考虑项目的欧洲视角，它们还有可能通过评估新情况下与当地实践相关的能力，支持在欧洲国家之间流动的助产士的流动性。
