Abstract

Midwives are professionals who fulfill maternal and child health needs. In Mongolia, midwives were unable to transfer their knowledge and skills to the next generation midwives last few decades. The details of their experiences and the comprehensive aspects of continuing professional development (CPD) are still unclear. This study aimed to assess the current status of midwives in clinical practice through an online symposium. Relevant information was collected from presentations, question-and-answer sessions, and questionnaires. It was found that CPD has unclear training plans, no specialized training, and with them having little experience with CPD. Newly graduated midwives do not have an educational program. As of the current status, midwifery services are not provided at the clinical site in the scope of midwifery job descriptions. This study also discusses the situation of low status and salary in midwifery. Strengthening the system of midwifery CPD like development of the educational program is needed.

加强蒙古助产士临床实践持续专业发展的问题。

助产士是满足孕产妇和儿童健康需求的专业人员。在蒙古，助产士在过去几十年里无法将他们的知识和技能传授给下一代助产士。他们的经历细节和持续专业发展的全面方面仍不清楚。这项研究旨在通过在线研讨会评估助产士在临床实践中的现状。从专题介绍、问答和问卷调查中收集了相关信息。研究发现，CPD的培训计划不明确，没有专门的培训，而且他们在CPD方面几乎没有经验。刚毕业的助产士没有教育项目。截至目前，在助产工作说明的范围内，临床现场没有提供助产服务。本研究还讨论了助产士的低地位和低工资状况。需要加强助产学CPD系统，类似于教育项目的发展。
