Transition from midwifery training to professional practice is enhanced by positive support from experienced colleagues. The study explored experiences of newly qualified midwives regarding existence of supportive relationship during transition. The setting was a maternity unit of a selected hospital from each of the five districts of Limpopo province. Population was all midwives who completed a comprehensive nursing programme (R425 of 19 February 1985, as amended); and qualified as nurses (general, psychiatric and community) and midwives working in selected hospitals. Twenty-five participants selected from maternity units of the five selected hospitals using non-probability, purposive sampling method. In-depth individual interviews conducted until saturation was reached. Data analysed through Tesch's method. Ethical issues considered. Findings revealed negative unsupportive relationship experienced by participants resulting in poor performance. Graduates expressed dislike experienced from senior colleagues. Establishment and maintenance of positive relationship between experienced and newly qualified midwives should be enhanced to promote effective transition.
经验丰富的同事给予的积极支持有助于助产士培训向专业实践的过渡。该研究探讨了新获得资格的助产士在过渡期间对支持性人际关系存在情况的体验。研究地点是林波波省五个区中每个区选定的一家医院的产科病房。研究对象是所有完成综合护理课程（1985年2月19日第425号，经修订）；并获得护士（普通、精神科和社区）资格以及在选定医院工作的助产士。采用非概率目的抽样法从五家选定医院的产科病房中选取了25名参与者。进行深入的个人访谈，直至达到饱和状态。通过泰施方法对数据进行分析。考虑了伦理问题。研究结果显示，参与者经历了负面的、缺乏支持的人际关系，导致工作表现不佳。毕业生表示受到了资深同事的厌恶。应加强经验丰富的助产士与新获得资格的助产士之间积极关系的建立和维护，以促进有效的过渡。
