Abstract

Achieving a balance between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice remains a significant challenge in midwifery education. This literature review, conducted systematically using the PICO framework, aims to evaluate midwifery curricula that integrate theory and practice to better prepare students for the demands of the professional world. Five peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 from various countries were analysed. The findings reveal recurring barriers in clinical learning, such as inadequate supervision, limited hands-on experience, and a misalignment between academic curricula and field-based practical requirements. Innovative strategies, including Simulation-Based Education (SBE), Competency-Based Education (CBE), Dedicated Education Units (DEU), and Student-Centred Learning (SCL), have demonstrated potential in improving students’ confidence and competence. However, the effectiveness of these approaches is contingent upon sufficient infrastructure and teaching resources. This review emphasizes the importance of continuous curriculum evaluation and educational innovation in strengthening the integration of theory and practice, ultimately enhancing the clinical readiness of midwifery graduates.   Abstrak Mencapai keseimbangan antara pengetahuan teoretis dan praktik klinis tetap menjadi tantangan besar dalam pendidikan kebidanan. Tinjauan pustaka ini dilakukan secara sistematis dengan menggunakan kerangka PICO, bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kurikulum kebidanan yang mengintegrasikan teori dan praktik guna mempersiapkan mahasiswa menghadapi tuntutan dunia profesional. Lima studi yang telah melalui proses telaah sejawat dan diterbitkan antara tahun 2020 hingga 2025 dari berbagai negara dianalisis dalam kajian ini. Temuan menunjukkan adanya hambatan yang berulang dalam pembelajaran klinis, seperti supervisi yang tidak memadai, keterbatasan pengalaman langsung, serta ketidaksesuaian antara kurikulum akademik dan kebutuhan praktik di lapangan. Strategi inovatif seperti Simulation-Based Education (SBE), Competency-Based Education (CBE), Dedicated Education Units (DEU), dan Student-Centred Learning (SCL) menunjukkan potensi dalam meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dan kompetensi mahasiswa. Namun, efektivitas pendekatan-pendekatan ini sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan infrastruktur dan sumber daya pengajaran yang memadai. Tinjauan ini menekankan pentingnya evaluasi kurikulum secara berkelanjutan dan inovasi pendidikan untuk memperkuat integrasi antara teori dan praktik, sehingga pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan kesiapan klinis lulusan kebidanan.

Abstract

Midwifery education is increasingly shifting toward the implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE), a transformative approach aimed at producing graduates with robust clinical and cognitive competencies by emphasizing measurable outcomes across cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. Understanding how the CBE model is implemented and the outcomes it yields is crucial for informing curriculum design, faculty development, and institutional readiness. This article aims to evaluate the impact of CBE on enhancing the clinical skills and cognitive development of midwifery students. A literature search was conducted across PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases using Boolean operators for keywords related to CBE and midwifery education. Studies were selected using the PRISMA method based on specific inclusion criteria, resulting in the identification of 13 relevant studies published between 2021 and 2026. The analysis indicates that CBE significantly improves students' clinical procedural skills, critical thinking abilities, and decision-making capabilities. Simulation-based approaches, problem-based learning, and structured assessments proved effective in supporting competency attainment. However, implementation barriers—such as resource limitations, a lack of faculty training, and institutional resistance—remain prevalent, particularly in resource-limited settings. CBE contributes positively to the development of clinical and cognitive competencies among midwifery students.
