Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the practical abilities of mid-career midwives working in the wards of ward head nurses. We conducted interviews with nine ward head nurses and analyzed what the head nurses thought was insufficient as mid-career midwife's practical ability.
The practical abilities of mid-career midwives considered by the ward head nurses are [Assessment and diagnosis regarding care implementation] [Direct care ability due to lack of experience] [Understanding own issues to improve practical ability] [Ability to coordinate relationships within the team practice] [Willingness to work on improving practical ability] was extracted.
We believe that these five extracted categories will be useful for simulation and program development to improve the practical abilities of mid-career midwives.
