Question 2: What does midwife mean? Midwives are nurses who study in regular midwifery schools or have the same ability and can deliver babies and care for parturients independently.
Introduction editing
midwife
The technical level and operational ability of midwives are related to the safety of mothers and babies. A midwife who has worked for many years has no less experience than an obstetrician. Her experience comes from clinical practice and subtle observation. She is familiar with every change in the progress of labor, all kinds of sudden changes in labor, and even every expression and reaction of parturient. She has zero contact with the parturient and is the real patron saint and companion of the parturient.
An experienced midwife may be more helpful to the parturient than the obstetrician, because the nature of her work determines that the midwife integrates childbirth and nursing and spends more time with the parturient than the obstetrician, so she can also capture the subtle physiological and psychological changes of the parturient during the whole labor process.

Treatment in Europe
In Britain, although doctors and general practitioners in hospitals are more involved in women's delivery, midwives still play a leading role in nursing. 1902, the parliament passed the Midwives Act, which clarified the requirements for midwives' registration and qualification certificate, and repeatedly advocated the supervision of midwives to ensure their efficient operation. The passage of this bill guarantees the future of midwives, although general practitioners initially worried that it would reduce their remuneration for participating in operations. Since the promulgation of 19 1 1 national insurance law, general practitioners have seen that they still earn a lot besides maternity expenses, which keeps their income in balance with that of professional doctors.
In the early 1920s, the formal training of midwives was only a three-month limited course provided by the Central Midwives Committee. Since then, the training period has been continuously extended, especially for female midwives. By AD 1937, midwives can receive two years' training. At this point, the local government has assumed the responsibility of paying wages. At the same time, the local authorities have to pay overtime for the doctors involved in the delivery operation. Some people think that this makes many women have to accept "managed" delivery, which is a very simple matter.
Midwives were disappointed to find that the British Obstetricians Association did not allow them to carry out analgesia, despite their repeated assurances that their work would be long-term. They are only allowed to use related gases, but they cannot provide all kinds of expensive and complicated instruments necessary for patients. The British Medical Association suggests that it is up to the general practitioner to decide whether to allow midwives to take care of the parturient, so that midwives can only handle simple "normal" deliveries in the end.
Treatment in the United States
Compared with their British counterparts, struggle for existence, an American midwife, is quite unsuccessful. With the increasing activities of doctors, the role and status of midwives have declined rapidly, and this trend has also been supported by the medical industry. The vested interests of doctors after taking over the role of midwife make them try to convince maternity midwives that they are unclean, believe in feudal superstition and lack medical knowledge. However, the working class actually relies heavily on the services provided by midwives.
With the development of time, American midwives are doomed to disappear on the historical stage. Because they have not received formal training, and midwifery has been regarded as an illegal activity since AD 1935. Maternity is taken care of by specially trained obstetrical nurses.

□ Jinling Evening News reporter Su Liping
Yesterday, after this newspaper reported that "Yesterday was their festival", it caused a heated discussion in the midwife industry. At the end of the day, the reporter received many calls from midwives, saying that they not only worked hard, but also had no independent professional title and promotion system, which made midwives lose their talents.
There is no independent promotion system for professional titles.
The midwife told reporters that the meaning of "professional title" is often linked to treatment. Up to now, midwives not only have employment certificates, but also have professional title promotion system and qualification certificates, and their treatment has remained unchanged for many years. If you want to be promoted, you can only take the "nurse title system".
It is understood that almost every medical branch has its own society, but midwives don't. It can be said that there is no independent professional title promotion system and no "organization" of its own. Some midwives with higher education, such as undergraduates, find that there is no room for improvement, and they switch to other jobs one after another, making it difficult to retain talents.
Some insiders said that what needs to be solved at present is to reduce the cesarean section rate and ensure the safety of natural delivery, which requires a highly professional midwife team. Training an excellent midwife team has a long way to go.
Midwives want to find their own "organization"
The aspiration of many midwives is to have relevant theoretical and professional education, an independent professional title promotion system and its own "organization".
It is understood that midwifery majors in midwifery schools and medical colleges began to shrink in the 1990s, and now they are basically gone. "To reduce the rate of cesarean section, we must ensure the safety of natural delivery and need a team of midwives with excellent professional skills. Now academic groups are beginning to pay attention to this matter. More importantly, it is necessary to get the attention of relevant departments, restore the school education of midwives, establish a series of professional title evaluations, and clarify the responsibilities of midwives. "
"In many countries, registered midwives can organize midwifery centers to track and monitor pregnant women from the beginning of pregnancy, make friends with pregnant women, pay attention to their health, give them humanistic care and psychological support, and ensure that pregnant women can give birth naturally more smoothly. Midwifery is not only in the delivery room, but also not as simple as delivery. It should be high-end demand. " Speaking of which, the midwife has a lot of longing in her eyes.
Question 10: What's the difference between a nurse and a midwife? I just graduated from midwifery this year and have no job yet. I want to find a nurse to do it first, and I will choose midwifery when I am recruited by the hospital during my internship.
Be realistic, if you have a way to graduate smoothly, of course, it is good to learn midwifery! Work is not so tiring.
Moreover, nursing is tiring, but employment is better, and of course there is not much development.
