Abstract

This article explores the non-technical skills critical for the practice of midwives through a comparison of two maternity services in Morocco. Soft skills, or non-technical skills, present a set of metacognitive abilities, which complement hard or technical skills, in order to guarantee the safe performance of a technical activity. This exploration is based on an original methodology that triangulates observation of caring paths, qualitative interviews, and quantitative questionnaires. We identified the main soft skills mastered, those that were missing, and those to be developed, based on an observed or expressed need. The research population included 30 midwives and 70 women. The results led us to identify the most critical non-technical skills for midwifery practice at a Local Medical Centre (LMC) and a Provincial Hospital Centre (PHC) to better understand the effects of workload on the possibilities of activating non-technical skills during caring paths. Based on these results, we elaborated a model for the development and improvement of non-technical skills in midwifery.

制定摩洛哥助产士非技术技能发展模式。

本文通过对摩洛哥两家产科服务机构的比较，探讨了对助产士执业至关重要的非技术技能。软技能或非技术性技能是一套元认知能力，是对硬技能或技术性技能的补充，以保证技术性活动的安全进行。这项研究采用了一种新颖的方法，将护理路径观察、定性访谈和定量问卷调查三者结合起来。我们根据观察到的或表达的需求，确定了已掌握的主要软技能、缺失的软技能以及有待发展的软技能。研究对象包括 30 名助产士和 70 名妇女。研究结果促使我们确定了地方医疗中心（LMC）和省级医院中心（PHC）助产士实践中最关键的非技术性技能，以更好地了解工作量对在护理过程中激活非技术性技能的可能性的影响。基于这些结果，我们详细阐述了助产士非技术技能的发展和改进模式。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
