Objective To understand the current state of midwifery training in Shenzhen,providing insights for the enhancement of future midwifery training programs.Methods Using a convenience cluster sampling method,midwives working in obstetric medical institutions in Shenzhen in 2022 were selected.Through questionnaire surveys and data analysis,the participation in midwifery training from 2009 to 2020 was examined along with their self-assessment of mastery over clinical practical skills.Results A total of 481 midwives,mostly from tertiary hospitals,with an average of 9(5,15)years of midwifery experience,were surveyed in this study and participated in primary,intermediate and/or advanced training according to their years of experience and years of work,with the majority participating in primary or intermediate training once.The main reasons for midwives not attending training were insufficient hospital staff and new recruits.The analysis of the self-assessment of the mastery of clinical practical skills showed that the practical skills of midwives in maternal and pediatric emergencies at the primary and intermediate levels needed to be strengthened,and the teaching ability of midwives with intermediate training needed to be improved.There was a difference in the self-rating of practical skills among midwives of different titles(Z=9.23,P=0.026).Conclusions Though participation in primary and intermediate midwifery training in Shenzhen City is high,there remains a deficiency in mastering specific clinical practical skills.This research suggests that there's a pressing need to further enhance the practical clinical skill training for midwives to comprehensively meet the health needs of pregnant and postnatal women.
