implementation of APN which is in accordance with midwife competence standard is
carried out, The objective of the research was to find out the implementation of
midwife competence standard in APN implementation behavior.
The research used qualitative narrative method. It was conducted at RSU
Ridos, Medan. The informants were 4 midwives, 1 owner, and 2 childbirth women.
The data were analyzed qualitatively by interpreting the data in the form of
sentences.
The result of the research showed that the implementation of midwife
competence standard in carrying out normal childbirth care in RSU was good.
Midwives’ knowledge was good since all of them were D-III midwifery graduates.
Senior midwives’ skill was better than that of young ones although the latter were
controlled by their seniors anda bay the hospital owner. The skilled midwives had
participated in APN training, while the unskilled ones had not. Midwives behavior,
especially the seniors’ was good in implementing APN in RSU Ridos, but young
midwives still needed experience in implementing APN so that their behavior was in
accordance with midwife competence standard anda to oath of office.
It is recommended that the hospital management increase midwives’
nowledge and skill in Normal Childbirth Care, anda make midwives who not yet
followed training participate in it. | en_US |
