Midwives' attitudes toward the use of cardiotocograph (CTG) machines in labor units: A study in Jordan
CONCLUSION: This study provides new insights into the attitudes of Jordanian midwives towards CTG use in labor units. These suggest that it is critical to conduct training courses for registered midwives to help them develop and/or regain confidence and competence with respect to various key aspects of intrapartum care, including intermittent auscultation and the appropriate use of CTG.PMID:38555829 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103978 (Source: Midwifery)
