This study describes the views of midwives and educators regarding interprofessional working and learning within midwifery care.
Qualitative methods using semi-structured interviews and focus groups.
39 participants, drawn from three participant groups--midwifery educators, newly qualified midwives and Heads of Midwifery--from four university sites throughout the U.K. took part in the research.
Midwives are called upon to work collaboratively with other professionals during the daily provision of maternity care. Midwives are aware of the competencies required for effective collaboration and are supportive of the inclusion of interprofessional education in the training of student midwives. However, the relevance of this education was questioned by some participants because it is not apparent whether its inclusion will result in midwives who are better able to collaborate.
Midwives are supportive of interprofessional learning for students but are uncertain whether it will result in changes in practice.
Interprofessional education may support collaboration in practice, but future educational research aimed at understanding how learning is applied to practice is needed.
本研究描述了助产士和教育工作者对助产护理中专业间工作和学习的看法。
使用半结构式访谈和焦点小组的定性方法。
来自英国四个大学地点的三个参与者群体——助产士教育工作者、新合格的助产士和助产士主管——共 39 人参与了这项研究。
助产士在日常提供产妇护理时被要求与其他专业人员合作。助产士意识到有效合作所需的能力，并支持将专业间教育纳入学生助产士的培训中。然而，一些参与者对这种教育的相关性提出了质疑，因为不清楚其纳入是否会使助产士更有能力进行合作。
助产士支持学生的专业间学习，但不确定这是否会导致实践的改变。
专业间教育可以支持实践中的合作，但需要进一步开展教育研究，以了解学习如何应用于实践。
