Accelerating quality midwifery education
Evaluating a sexual and reproductive health and rights programme within Swedish for Immigrants education
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are central to health equity, yet migrants in Sweden, especially from low-income countries, experience linguistic, cultural, and structural barriers to SRHR information and services. Although migrants are prioritised in Sweden’s national strategy for SRHR, no evaluation has examined SRHR education embedded within language programmes, limiting culturally responsive and scalable interventions. This p…

In midwifery education programmes, internal self-assessments are used to meet accreditation criteria. However, research on this topic is scarce. Therefore, this paper describes how we plan to conduct an evaluation of an internal quality assurance process in midwifery education aimed at …

Developing and validating a tool for assessing the confidence in the competence of midwifery tutors in India on WHO core competency domains
Negligible quantitative research evidence exists on standardisation and psychometric validation of questionnaires that measure midwifery educators’ confidence in their competence. This study developed a self-assessment of confidence in competence questionnaire in India based on the WHO Midwifery Educator Core Competencies (2014) with an aim to develop and validate a self-assessment tool measuring midwifery tutors’ confidence in competence in impa…
Developing and validating a self-assessment tool for assessing confidence of nurse-midwives against competency domains of the International Confederation of Midwives, in India
While midwives are recognized as primary care-providers for maternal and new-born care in many parts of the world, India is transitioning to professional midwifery. The pathway to midwifery in India has been through integrated nursing and midwifery education. Since 2018, India has introduced an 18-month post nursing midwifery education programme. To establish a baseline for midwives’ competence and measure progress, there is a need for a quick, e…

BACKGROUND: Investing in midwives educated according to international standards is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goals in maternal and newborn health. Applying a person-centred care approach and using simulation-based learning to improve the learning experience for midwifery students may enhance the quality of childbirth care.

Rwanda’s success in advancing midwifery education
The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) defines and sets the Essential Competencies for Midwifery Practice and provides a framework for developing and reviewing midwifery curricula. This framework ensures that pre-service midwifery education designed for students leads to the demonstration of the required midwifery specific competencies. The development of the ICM competencies in 2024 confirms the timeliness of the effort of Rwanda to u…
Barriers and strategies needed to improve maternal health services among pregnant adolescents in Uganda
BACKGROUND: In Uganda, the uptake of maternal health services is very low, with only 41.1% of pregnant adolescent girls attending the eight antenatal visits that are recommended by the World Health Organisation. Uptake of maternal health services is essential in reducing the current level of adolescent pregnancies as well as its adverse effects on adolescent mothers and their babies, such as preterm deliveries, prolonged labour, death during preg…
Implementation of a three-pillar training intervention to improve maternal and neonatal healthcare in the Democratic Republic Of Congo
BACKGROUND: Numerous quality-improvement projects including healthcare professional training are conducted globally every year, but there is a gap between the knowledge obtained in the training and its implementation in practice and policy. A quality-improvement programme was conducted in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. OBJECTIVE: This study explores the implementation process, m…

Floods and maternal healthcare utilisation in Bangladesh
Floods are a common natural hazard in Bangladesh, and climate change is expected to further increase flooding frequency, magnitude and extent. Pregnant women in flood contexts could face challenges in utilisation of maternal healthcare. The aim of this paper is to analyse associations between flood exposure and the use of maternal healthcare (antenatal care visits, birth assisted by skilled birth attendants, and giving birth in a health facility)…
Implementation of a context-specific accreditation assessment tool for affirming quality midwifery education in Bangladesh
In the move from the initial assessment of an accreditation process to its implementation, it is essential to make public the results found at all educational institutions. This encourages acceptance, while soliciting feedback and suggestions for future action. Only then can an accreditation process have an impact on the provision of high-quality midwifery education and services. This paper aims to encourage and guide other countries in their dev…
