In Britain, New Zealand and Australia, midwives must have the minimum undergraduate education; in the United States, midwives must be post-graduate students.…”

Objective This study aims to provide a basis for the curriculum provision, training form and training time of midwifery managers in Beijing and understand the needs of the midwives' participation in specialist certification training. Methods Ten midwifery managers and midwives in Beijing were selected for a group interview. Based on the interview results, the researchers designed a questionnaire. As the midwives were from different hospital levels in Beijing, stratified random sampling method was adopted. A total of 137 people were surveyed through a web questionnaire. Results In total, 99.25% of the respondents believe that midwifery specialist training needs to be carried out in Beijing. Moreover, 55% of them believe that half-time training is reasonable. The respondents believe that the proportion of theoretical and practice training should be 1:2. In total, 91.79% and 85.07% of the respondents believe that contents of midwifery research and midwifery management need to be increased, respectively. Conclusion Midwives in Beijing need midwifery specialist training. Half-time certification training complies with the clinical needs. Midwifery specialist certification enhances the professional identity of midwives.

“…In Turkey, midwives are considered an effective and important group of healthcare personnel who deal with women's health. [28,29] Thus, midwifery training has been mainly based on a foundation of knowledge concerning maternal, neonatal and women's health and consequently has been furnished with a curriculum that differs from nursing school programs [30]. While subjects related to SH/RH are basic courses in midwifery programs, in nursing schools, these topics are taught more comprehensively in courses on women's health and diseases.…”

The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine how students assessed the vertical and horizontal integration of content related to Sexual Health/Reproductive Health (SH/RH) into the curriculum. The sampling of the study comprised midwifery (170) and nursing (155) students (N = 325). Data was collected with a Curriculum Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) which was developed by the researchers. Percentages, mean calculations and the Independent Samples t Test were used in the analysis of the data. Significance was defined as p \ 0.05. It was found that 69.2% of the students found the changes made in their study programs appropriate. The CIQ, which queried the thoughts of nursing and midwifery students about the integration of SH/RH topics into the study program, exhibited a significant difference in the sub-dimensions, where it was seen that the scores of the students in the midwifery section were higher. The results of the data lead to the conclusion that the integration of topics of SH/RH into the curriculum were positively acknowledged by the students and that the changes made were more effective and beneficial for midwifery students as opposed to nursing students.

Nursing and midwifery are old and well-established professions. While some of their history has intersected at different points, they are distinct professions underpinned by different philosophies. They have also developed in different ways as a result of complex political and social influences. Furthermore, midwifery in particular has developed in a variety of models globally and hence its education varies internationally. This chapter provides an overview of the historical development of professional education for nurses and midwives. It describes early historical approaches to the training of each discipline through apprenticeship-style models to subsequent education delivery in higher education
