Participants were nurse-midwife educators from different institutions throughout the countryenrolled in a support program offered through a collaboration between the University of Dalarna andUNFPA in Bangladesh.Results: Midwives struggle with being recognised in the professional field, both within teachinginstitutes and at clinical sites and participants describe teacher shortage as a recurrent issue causingfeelings of limitations in teaching. Results also demonstrate the positive impact support programs andfurther education for midwifery educators have on competence development.Conclusion: Findings show that factors hindering midwifery educators from providing qualitymidwifery education up to international standards exists. A strengthened collaboration with clinicalsites, addressing the gender inequalities in society on governmental level as well as increasing thenumber of midwifery teachers and providing them with continuous training are necessary steps inensuring quality midwifery education in Bangladesh.Implications for practice: The study is made in Bangladesh and reflects the circumstances of thiscountry.
