OBJECTIVE: a 2-year study was conducted to develop Global Standards for Midwifery Education in keeping with core documents of the International Confederation of Midwives. Elements of the standards were based on evidence available in the published and unpublished literature. Companion Guidelines to assist in implementing the standards were also developed. DESIGN: a modified Delphi survey process was conducted in two rounds following item validation by a panel of midwifery education experts. SETTING: a global survey conducted in 88 countries. PARTICIPANTS: midwifery educators and clinicians associated with midwifery education located in any of the ICM member association countries. Additional participants included an Expert Midwifery Resource Group, other Key Stakeholders, midwifery regulators and policy makers. A total of 241 individuals from 46 ICM member association countries and ten non-member countries responded to one or both of the survey rounds. MEASUREMENTS: survey respondents expressed an opinion on whether to retain or to delete any of the proposed components of the standards. Version one had 109 proposed components and version two had 111 items for consideration. FINDINGS: a majority consensus of .80 was required to accept an item without further deliberation. The Education Standards Task Force (expert panel) made final decisions in the four instances where this level of consensus was not reached, retaining all four items. The panel also amended the wording of selected items or added new items based on feedback received from survey respondents. The final document contains 10 Preface items, 35 glossary terms, and 37 discrete standards with 27 sub-sections. |
