Abstract:
Objective:To understand the attitudes of obstetricians and midwives towards the development of nurse practitioner in China.Methods:The phenomenological method in qualitative research was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 24 medical staff in the third-A general hospitals and women and children's hospitals in Guangzhou and Dongguan City. The interview data were analyzed by Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method.Results:Four themes were extracted, namely, unanimous approval attitude, imperfect midwifery discipline and management system, insufficient independent practice capacity, low support and recognition in midwifery area.Conclusions:Obstetricians and midwives hold a positive attitude towards the development of midwifery nurse practitioner. At the same time,its development is restricted in many aspects. They can gradually develop midwife′s legislation, improve the management system, try some prescription rights, and increase the education and talents of midwifery subjects. Cultivation and promotion of social recognition will help gradually train midwifery nurse practitioner in China.
