Objective To understand and analyze the current situation of core competence of graduate midwives in standardized training in Sichuan Province
so as to provide a reference for the training of midwives in Sichuan Province. Methods A total of 102 midwives who participated in standardized training and graduated from July 2016 to June 2018 in Sichuan Province were investigated by using general information questionnaire (including 14 items of general information
occupational literacy and hospital conditions) and Midwives Core Competence Scale (including 54 items and 6 dimensions). Among 109 questionnaires distributed
102 valid questionnaires were collected. SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the results by single factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results The average total score of the core competency scale in this study was (203.470±32.398). The scores of postpartum health care and prenatal health care were relatively high
while the score of public health care was relatively low. Multivariate regression analysis showed that whether the maternal and infant health certificates were obtained during the training period
and whether there was a training system for midwives alone and arrangements of department rotation were the influencing factors of the core competence of the graduate midwives (P<0.05). Conclusion The core competence of midwives in standardized training in Sichuan province is at the middle level. The standardized training of midwives is at the initial stage and lack of systematic management. Hence
it is urgent to build a unified and standardized training system.
