The aim of this study is to investigate the core competencies of midwives in China. Combination of qualitative research and quantitative research. A total of 100 midwives in 3 tertiary (Grade 3) hospitals in Shijiazhuang were investigated by using the Midwife Core Competency Scale, and simultaneously followed by semi-structured interviews with 12 midwives. The questionnaire survey showed that the average score of core competencies of midwives was 4.17 ± 0.17. The scores of midwives' competency for labor and delivery care (4.31 ± 0.09), new-born care (4.29 ± 0.04), and postpartum care (4.25 ± 0.13) were relatively high, while the prepregnancy care had the lowest score (3.88 ± 0.07). The interview results showed that the self-perception of core midwifery competencies was not bad, the limitations of midwives' work scope affect the core competencies, and midwifery education needs to strengthen the humanistic care and the training of obstetric knowledge and technology.
本研究旨在探讨中国助产士的核心能力。采用定性研究与定量研究相结合的方法，对石家庄市 3 所三级（3 级）医院的 100 名助产士进行助产士核心能力量表调查，并对 12 名助产士进行半结构式访谈。问卷调查显示，助产士核心能力平均得分为 4.17±0.17。助产士分娩照顾（4.31±0.09）、新生儿照顾（4.29±0.04）和产后照顾（4.25±0.13）的能力得分较高，而孕前照顾得分最低（3.88±0.07）。访谈结果表明，助产士对核心助产能力的自我认知并不差，工作范围的限制影响了核心能力，助产教育需要加强人文关怀和产科知识与技术的培训。
