Midwifery error

A medical error means failure in implementation of a programmed action or following a wrong procedure to achieve a result [1]. Based on the wide research works in developed countries like the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, France, Denmark, and New Zealand, about 3 to 16% of hospitalized patients sustain damages from medical incidents and 30-70% of these events result from medical errors, which are preventable by following simple and routine standards [2]. On the other hand, results of a nationwide study in the USA showed that out of every three individuals who had suffered damages caused by medical errors, one had suffered irrevocable damages [3]. Midwives are members of medical team and act as the first element in health-medical services to women; which indicates the importance of their role. The general manager of Health and Population Office, Ministry of Health-Iran declared that 60% of 2585 death cases of pregnant women between 2005 and 2009 was due to midwifery, medical, and nursing errors [4]. Midwifery errors result in several physical problems in women, such as wrong diagnosis of diseases and prenatal cares [5], a variety of infections and even death, and also a variety of injuries to the infant like injuries sustained during labor, spasm, and asphyxia [6]. It is estimated that about US$17-US$29 million are lost every year in the USA due to medical errors [1]. There are several factors in occurrence of job errors [7] and the first step to prevent these errors is to determine the causes. The causes that lead to such error can be dealt with to improve safety and health of patients [8]. It is important why and how an error occurs in the system and the probable weaknesses in the system (management, environment, education, etc.) that lead to the errors need to be found and solved [9].
