Many developing countries are investing money and training for midwives, sometimes by upskilling
those women already practising as traditional birth attendants. Some primary care services are
currently lacking due to the shortage of money being funded for these resources.
According to the definition of the International Confederation of Midwives, which has also been
adopted by the World Health Organization and the International Federation of Gynecology and
Obstetrics:[1]
A midwife is a person who has successfully completed a midwifery education programme that is
recognised in the country where it is located and that is based on the ICM Essential Competencies
for Basic Midwifery Practice[2] and the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery
Education;[5] who has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed
to practice midwifery and use the title ‘midwife’; and who demonstrates competency in the practice
of midwifery.
The midwife is recognised as a responsible and accountable professional who works in partnership
with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the
postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife's own responsibility and to provide care for the
newborn and the infant. This care includes preventative measures, the promotion of normal birth,
the detection of complications in mother and child, the accessing of medical care or other
appropriate assistance and the carrying out of emergency measures.
The midwife has an important task in health counselling and education, not only for the woman, but
also within the family and the community. This work should involve antenatal education and
preparation for parenthood and may extend to women's health, sexual or reproductive health and
child care.
A midwife may practise in any setting including the home, community, hospitals, clinics or health
units.[1]
Seorang bidan adalah seorang profesional dalam
kebidanan. Pendidikan dan pelatihan mereka
melengkapi mereka untuk mengenali variasi kemajuan
persalinan normal, dan memahami bagaimana
menghadapi penyimpangan dari normal. Mereka dapat
melakukan intervensi dalam situasi berisiko tinggi
seperti kelahiran sungsang, kelahiran kembar dan
kelahiran di mana bayi berada dalam posisi posterior,
menggunakan teknik non-invasif. Ketika seorang
wanita hamil membutuhkan perawatan di luar lingkup
praktik bidan, mereka merujuk wanita ke dokter
kandungan atau perinatologis, yang merupakan spesialis
medis dalam komplikasi yang berkaitan dengan
kehamilan dan kelahiran, termasuk pengiriman bedah
dan instrumental. [3] [4] Di banyak bagian dunia,
profesi ini bekerja bersama untuk menyediakan
perawatan bagi wanita yang melahirkan anak. Di negara
lain, hanya bidan yang tersedia untuk memberikan
perawatan, dan di negara lain banyak perempuan
memilih untuk menggunakan dokter kandungan
terutama bidan.
Banyak negara berkembang menginvestasikan uang dan
pelatihan untuk bidan, terkadang dengan meningkatkan
keterampilan para perempuan yang sudah berpraktik
sebagai dukun beranak. Beberapa layanan perawatan
primer saat ini kurang karena kekurangan uang yang
didanai untuk sumber daya ini.
