Abstract: 

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the midwifery curriculum in Iran according to ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education. Methods: In this comparative study the Iranian midwifery education curriculum in the part of ‘ Competency in provision of care during pregnancy’ was compared against ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education (2010) by three researchers using a checklist. In both domains of basic knowledge (35 items) and skills (26 items), the entire Iranian midwifery curriculum was searched for similar content, as well as the number of related courses. Also evaluation was done for ‘ adequacy’ of each item by a 4 point Likert scale (adequate, relatively adequate, relatively inadequate, inadequate). Results: Quality assessment of the Iranian midwifery curriculum in terms of basic knowledge and skills regarding ‘ Competency in Provision of Care during Pregnancy’ showed that from 35 items in basic knowledge domain, 47. 57% were adequate, 15% relatively adequate, 2. 85% relatively inadequate and 2% were inadequate. In the domain of skills from 26 items, 53. 85% were adequate and 46. 15% were relatively inadequate. In relation to two items there was no related content in the Iranian curriculum including” signs of female genital cutting and its effects on reproductive health” and “ normal limits of results from community-relevant laboratory tests commonly performed in pregnancy” . Conclusion: The curriculum of midwifery education in Iran covers ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education (2010) in ‘ Competency in Provision of Care during Pregnancy’ except for two items. Therefore, not covering these important issues is one of the most noteworthy weaknesses of this curriculum and should be considered in the future reforms.
