“…The research found that medical quality is the core of hospital management. In the process of hospital development, the brand and performance of a hospital are of great significance to the survival and development of the hospital [ 16 ]. Use the PDCA cycle to establish a complete medical quality management system, formulate countermeasures for the problems found in the evaluation of the PDCA cycle, and establish the inspection standards.…”

With the improvement of social living standards, pregnant women have higher and higher requirements for health and medical personnel. As the main body of medical service personnel, the service objects of midwives are increasing rapidly, while the existing working conditions and abilities of midwives are difficult to meet the growing medical needs of pregnant women. In order to improve the imbalance between supply and demand between limited medical resources and patients’ medical treatment, this paper proposed to use PDCA model to educate and train midwives in order to improve their professional ability and work efficiency. Based on the analysis of the structure and functional principle of PDCA model, according to the working requirements of midwives, PDCA model was used to provide midwives with scientific teaching plan, implementation scheme, inspection requirements, and result evaluation methods. In order to test the effect of the application of this model, a group of hospitalized pregnant women were selected as samples and randomly divided into control group and observation group. Through comparative experiments, the effectiveness of PDCA model in midwife education and training was verified. The experimental results showed that the scores of midwife and patient satisfaction, theory and operation skills in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. Compared with the conventional nursing mode, the use of PDCA cycle mode to educate and train midwives had not only effectively improved the theoretical knowledge and professional skills of nurses, but also significantly improved the nursing and delivery monitoring ability of pregnant women. This study has certain reference and guiding significance for clinical medicine and other related application fields.

“…Together, midwives and nurses form the largest group of professionals employed in health care services and potentially play an important role in bereavement care worldwide [9,10]. When the pregnancy ends with negative pregnancy outcomes, nursing professionals have the responsibility to help bereaved parents deal with this cruel reality; however, the majority of midwives and nurses are not prepared for this incident and lack the confidence to provide bereavement care [11][12][13]. Specifically, they reported inadequate counselling and communication skills [14].…”

Background The Perinatal Bereavement Care Confidence Scale (PBCCS) was designed to evaluate midwives’ and nurses’ confidence and its psychosocial factors to provide bereavement care in Ireland. However, it is unknown whether this scale is valid and reliable for use with midwives and nurses in China. The aim of this study was to translate the English version into Chinese (C-PBCCS) and determine its validity and reliability in a population of Chinese midwives and nurses. Methods In this cross-sectional observational study, after translating the English version of the PBCCS into Chinese and ensuring the linguistic adequacy and clarity of the language, we evaluated the validity and reliability of the C-PBCCS with Chinese midwives and nurses (n = 608). Participants were recruited using convenience sampling from 10 maternity hospitals in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to determine the construct validity (n = 304). Another sample of 304 midwives and nurses was used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to verify the quality of the factor structures. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Guttman split-half coefficient were adopted for the evaluation of internal consistency. The STROBE was followed in reporting the results. Results The 43-item PBCCS was reduced to 40 items. Bereavement support knowledge (13 items, three factors), Bereavement support skills (eight items, two factors), Self-awareness (eight items, two factors), and Organizational support (11 items, two factors). The CFA suggested that the four scales in the C-PBCCS had acceptable fit indices. The Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.835–0.901. The Guttman split-half coefficient was between 0.868–0.933. Conclusion The C-PBCCS was found to be a psychometrically sound measurement tool to evaluate Chinese-speaking midwives’ and nurses’ confidence and the psychosocial factors that affect their confidence in providing perinatal bereavement care.

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionThe psychological outcomes for many parents who experience perinatal loss depend on nursing staff’s ability to provide effective bereavement support. However, most nurses and midwives lack the ability to provide bereavement care and suffer from heavy emotional burden. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the perinatal bereavement care training programme on nurses and midwives to increase their perinatal bereavement care confidence (PBCC) and to reduce secondary traumatic stress and emotional exhaustion.Methods and analysisThis study will follow a mixed methodology consisting of two stages. The first stage will adopt a pre/post repeated quasi-experimental design without a control group. The second stage will use a qualitative interview study. This study will be conducted in a tertiary maternity hospital in China in 2022–2023. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional review board in January of 2020. Outcome measures will be assessed using the Chinese version of the PBCC, STS and the EE subscale of Chinese Burn-out Inventory at baseline, postintervention and at the 3-month follow-up. Participants will be interviewed to understand their perceptions of the training programme.Ethics and disseminationThis research protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Women’s Hospital School of Medicine, Zhejiang University (IRB no. 20210091). The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and academic conferences.Trial registration numberChiCTR2100049730.
