Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and physicians (MDs) are thought to differ in philosophy of pregnancy care and childbirth. However, these differences have not been documented quantitatively. This article describes and compares the beliefs and care philosophies of CNMs and MDs toward aspects of antepartum and intrapartum care of low-risk women. The sample included seven CNMs and 10 obstetricians at a large tertiary-care hospital. Using stringent statistical criteria for testing differences between the two groups, significantly more teaching was done by the CNMs than by the MDs. Other differences were all in expected directions.
认证助产士（CNM）和医生（MD）在孕期护理和分娩理念上被认为存在差异。然而，这些差异尚未有定量记录。本文描述并比较了认证助产士和医生对低风险女性产前和产时护理各方面的信念和护理理念。样本包括一家大型三级护理医院的7名认证助产士和10名产科医生。采用严格的统计标准来检验两组之间的差异，认证助产士进行的教学显著多于医生。其他差异均符合预期方向。
