Abstract
Objetivo. Analizar informes internacionales relacionados con la formación en obstetricia y presentar una guía para ayudar a las instituciones educativas rectoras a formular las directrices curriculares para la enseñanza de la obstetricia y de la práctica avanzada en enfermería de esta especialidad. Métodos. Se realizó una revisión narrativa de documentos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Confederación Internacional de Matronas. Para la búsqueda se emplearon los descriptores midwifery y education. Se incluyeron todos los informes oficiales disponibles en línea, publicados entre 2009 y 2015 en inglés y español, que guían las políticas de formación de matronas. Se excluyeron los informes que no hacían referencia específica a la formación. Resultados. Se seleccionaron cinco informes. El análisis y la síntesis de sus respectivos objetivos y contenidos se realizó sobre la base de tres ejes temáticos: los requisitos para la cualificación profesional, la educación continua y las directrices para la formación cualificada en el área de la obstetricia, teniendo en cuenta las denominadas competencias esenciales de esta especialidad. Conclusiones. El análisis de los informes relacionados con la formación en obstetricia permitió identificar que se están desarrollando las tareas clave tanto para los educadores como para las matronas. Los informes representan una base sólida para formular políticas educativas que contribuyan al acceso y la cobertura universal en salud y a la reducción de la mortalidad materna y neonatal, y potencialmente pueden servir para guiar políticas internacionales.
 
Objective. Analyze international reports related to training in obstetrics and present guidelines to help leading educational institutions to develop curriculum guidelines for the teaching of obstetrics and advanced nursing practice in this specialty. Methods. A narrative review was conducted of documents from the World Health Organization and the International Confederation of Midwives. The search used the descriptors midwifery and education. All official reports that guide midwife education policies, published from 2009 to 2015 in English and Spanish, and available online, were included. Reports that did not specifically refer to training were excluded. Results. Five reports were selected. Analysis and synthesis of their respective objectives and contents were based on three themes: requirements for professional qualification, continuing education, and guidelines for skilled training in obstetrics, taking into account accepted core competencies for this specialty. Conclusions. Analysis of reports related to training in obstetrics identified that key tasks are being implemented for both educators and midwives. The reports represent a solid basis to develop educational policies that can contribute to universal access and coverage in health and to reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, and potentially can be used to guide international policies.
