Objective Through investigating the consistency of clinical first-line midwives actual working requirements and test outline fits, to make analysis on the rationality of the preliminary design test outline to provides evidence for improving the design of test outline for standardized training of midwives. Methods In September 2016,the investigation was conducted using questionnaire based on "Test Outline for Standardized-Training of Midwives (Draft)" among midwives studying in the training base of standardized-training of midwives. 50 questionnaires were distributed, and 49 were recovered, with a recovery rate of 98%. SPSS 16.0 was used to analyze the data and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated by factor analysis. Results The content reliability of the following units is good such as the overall of Test Outline for Standardized Training of Midwives (Draft)" and "laws and regulations related to maternal and infant health care ","Basic knowledge of medical psychology and ethics", "Basic theory and knowledge of mid-wives", "Clinical manifestations, identification points, common drugs and principles of treatment of the common diseases " and " Specialized skill". Conclusion The overall design of Test Outline for Standardized-Training of Midwives (Draft) is more scientific, and the rational ranking of the examination content is basi- cally consistent with the post competency requirements of the midwives.

Objective To explore the characteristics of alexithymia and interoception in patients with panic disorder(PD) and its relationship. Methods Thirty-seven patients with PD and 45 healthy con-trols who met the diagnostic criteria of DSM-Ⅳ were selected. Toronto Alexithymia Scale ( TAS) and state-trait anxiety inventory ( STAI) were used to assess the characteristics of alexithymia and anxiety symptoms respectively. The heartbeat perception levels were tested by the Mental Tracking Paradigm. Results The de-tection rate of alexithymia in patients with panic disorder was 37. 83% (14/37),but the rate in the normal control group was only 4. 44%(2/45),and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=14. 42,P<0. 05). The total score of TAS (55. 11±10. 99),factor Ⅰ (20. 62±6. 78) and factor Ⅱ (14. 68±3. 70) in the PD group were higher than those in the control group (42. 93± 9. 25,12. 82± 4. 99,11. 42±3. 04; F=20. 72, 31. 08,15. 31,P<0. 01). The levels of the heartbeat perception were higher in the PD group than that in the control group (0. 75±0. 15,0. 58±0. 19;t=4. 13,P<0. 05). In PD group,the score of STAI were positively correlated with TAS total score and factor Ⅰ and Ⅱ scores( r=0. 57,0. 61,0. 47;r=0. 54,0. 62,0. 39,P<0. 05). There was no significant correlation between the scores of STAI and the level of interoception. The mediating effect of interoception level on alexithymia and state anxiety was not significant while the mediating effect on alexithymia and trait anxiety was also not significant. Conclusions The alexithymia detection rate and interoception sensitivity in patients with panic disorder were higher than those of healthy people. There may be interaction between alexithymia and anxiety symptoms. Interoception may be a clinical feature of panic disorder.
