Continuing Education as an Element of the Audit of the Professional Competencies of the Hospital Midwife

Summary/Abstract: The dynamics of the regulatory framework, the digitization of Health and care activities and the advancement of scientific knowledge require continuous improvement of the professional competencies of the midwives. This implies the development of skills and routine in the performance of duties that help to cope with a number of stressful situations. An important element of the profession is communication and effective communication at different levels and with different users of the information itself. This article aims to explore the attitudes of midwives from hospital structures for continuing education and professional development. A survey of 135 midwives working in hospital structures in the cities of Varna, Dobrich, Razgrad and Silistra was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire. The key elements are continuous development and training, which lead to upgrading of skills and knowledge for the activities performed and improving the quality of the services provided. A large part of the respondents (over 77.78%) share the need for training, but a small part of them (33.34%) actually participate in training courses. Continuous development of technologies, diagnostic and treatment methods, as well as increasing user requirements require continuous audit of obstetric activities. In conclusion, the motivation for acquiring a higher educational qualification degree among the surveyed midwives is great, which inevitably leads to the search for better working conditions. The pursuit of learning, regardless of its form, is an incentive for the development of knowledge and skills, leading to increased responsibilities in the workplace.
