ABSTRACT
Introduction: The education of health sciences has required adjustments according to the needs of the general population and therefore most programs have adopted models based on competencies. It is necessary to demonstrate the acquisition of practical knowledge developed with regards to safety and skill that allows for more effective clinical care.Objective: To analyze the self-reported levels of skill and safety and the assessments obtained by students of midwifery at University of Concepcion, Chile. They train in obstetric skills mainly via clinical simulation.
Method: Analytical and relational, non-experimental study with non-probabilistic by 119 volunteer midwifery students at the university at the University of Concepcion in 2014. A Likert type scale survey was administered post practical trainings in preclinical and clinical settings which was correlated with the student's performances. A descriptive and relational analysis was executed.
Results: 119 students completed the surveys for skill level and 115 for security of procedures. There were 30 obstetric skills practical trainings, all of varying degrees of complexity with mixed results. High levels of skill are related to high levels of security but not all of their competencies follow this pattern. The level of skill does not relate to performance.
Conclusions: Obstetric skills are diverse in terms of complexity, with different levels of skill and safety, mostly high for both, but some are not important. It is necessary to sort the levels of complexity. The evaluation of students is not related to the achievement of competencies. It is necessary to establish appropriate measuring instruments.
