Midwifery education critically shapes graduates' employment status and satisfaction. This study identifies predictors of employment outcomes and satisfaction among Palestinian midwifery graduates, focusing on sociodemographic factors, curriculum quality, clinical training, and faculty support. It also analyzes regional employment disparities and satisfaction variations across graduation cohorts.
273 graduates of the Midwifery Bachelor's Program at Ibn Sina College of Health Professions completed a cross-sectional survey. Data collected included sociodemographic information, employment status, and satisfaction with curriculum, clinical training, and faculty support. Instrument validity was confirmed with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.84. A pilot study (n = 27) refined the survey. Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests, Pearson's correlations, and multiple logistic regression, with results presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Graduates under 25 years had lower employment rates (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.50-0.92, p = 0.036), while married graduates were more likely to be employed. Strong faculty mentorship tripled employment odds (OR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.81-4.18, p = 0.002). Curriculum quality moderately correlated with satisfaction (ρ = 0.32, p = 0.001). Neonatal training satisfaction was lower (33% excellent, 55% good), with identified gaps in clinical preparedness. Employment disparities across regions were statistically significant (χ² = 10.82, p = 0.001), favoring the northern West Bank.
Improvements are needed in neonatal care training and faculty mentorship. Clinical rotations in high-risk settings should expand. Future research must include socioeconomic status and prior healthcare experience as variables. Regional job placement initiatives are necessary to address employment disparities.

助产士教育对毕业生的就业状况和满意度有着至关重要的影响。本研究旨在确定巴勒斯坦助产士专业毕业生就业结果和满意度的预测因素，重点关注社会人口学因素、课程质量、临床培训和教师支持。同时，分析不同毕业批次的地区就业差异和满意度变化。
伊本·西那健康职业学院助产士本科专业的273名毕业生完成了一项横断面调查。收集的数据包括社会人口学信息、就业状况以及对课程、临床培训和教师支持的满意度。通过内容效度指数（CVI）为0.84证实了工具的有效性。一项预试验（n = 27）对调查进行了完善。统计分析包括卡方检验、皮尔逊相关性分析和多元逻辑回归，结果以比值比（OR）和95%置信区间（CI）表示。
25岁以下的毕业生就业率较低（OR = 0.68，95% CI：0.50 - 0.92，p = 0.036），而已婚毕业生就业的可能性更大。强大的教师指导使就业几率增加了两倍（OR = 2.75，95% CI：1.81 - 4.18，p = 0.002）。课程质量与满意度呈中度相关（ρ = 0.32，p = 0.001）。新生儿培训满意度较低（33%优秀，55%良好），临床准备方面存在明显差距。各地区的就业差异具有统计学意义（χ² = 10.82，p = 0.001），西岸北部地区更具优势。
新生儿护理培训和教师指导需要改进。应扩大高风险环境中的临床轮转。未来的研究必须将社会经济地位和先前的医疗保健经验作为变量纳入。有必要采取区域就业安置举措来解决就业差异问题。
