Institutional forms of education of midwives in Slovakia as a way to professionalization of the profession (from the interwar period to the 1960s)

Summary/Abstract: The preparation for the performance of the typically female profession of midwives have passed since inheriting from the monarchy to the reform of the health care system in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s with major changes. It was a process of gradual professionalization of professional training, as well as the practice of midwives itself, which at the end of the monitored period was concentrated almost exclusively in hospitals. The changing requirements for the work of midwives were determined by the development of medicine, but also by social changes, which were reflected in the demands of this profession. The paper is focused on the characterization of content and institutional changes in the training of midwives in Slovakia, the conditions of their work and the development of the institutional framework for the exercise of this profession.
