Abstract:

Objective To develop a scenario simulation training program aimed at improving midwives’ professional post competency(hereinafter referred to as the program) and evaluate its application effect. Methods The program was formulated through literature review,expert interviews,and case analysis. From December 2024 to June 2025,a total of 180 midwives from 3 batches who participated in training at the clinical practice base for specialty midwives in a Grade A tertiary hospital in Henan Province were selected as the participants. For each batch,they were divided into an experimental group and a control group using the random number table method,with 90 midwives in each group eventually included. The control group received routine training,while the experimental group underwent training based on the program. The theoretical knowledge and practical skills assessments,core competencies,and critical thinking abilities were compared between the two groups before and after training,and the experimental group’s evaluation of the simulated teaching design was assessed. Results The experimental group’s scores in theoretical knowledge,practical skills assessments,core competencies,and critical thinking abilities were superior to those of the control group after training(P<0.05). The experimental group’s ratings for simulated teaching design was(91.08±8.45) points. Conclusion The scenario simulation training program effectively enhances midwifery competency and training acceptance,making it worthy of promotion.
