Mod Midwife. 1996 Jun;6(6):17-9.
Midwifery education is in a process of change; links to higher education are being encouraged. Degrees should provide a greater theoretical base from which to practise. Degrees may improve practitioners' confidence, self-worth and negotiating skills. There are fears that graduates may become distanced from basic care provision. Perceptions exist that degree education is cut off from practice reality. Degree courses should be questioning, reflective, research-based and woman-centred.
助产士教育正在变革；鼓励与高等教育建立联系。学位应提供更坚实的理论基础以指导实践。学位可能会增强从业者的信心、自我价值感和谈判技巧。有人担心毕业生可能会疏远基本护理工作。有人认为学位教育与实践现实脱节。学位课程应具有质疑性、反思性、基于研究且以女性为中心。
