      ab: The political union between the countries of North and South Yemen prompted nurse-midwife educators to re-examine the midwifery curricula of both countries and define the roles midwives play as members of the health team, based on the unique circumstance in which Yemeni midwives operate within the health care system. The faculty of the Health and Manpower Institute (HMI), the main educational institution for the education of midwives, recognised that the delineation of tasks attributed to the practice of midwifery varied widely within Yemen, and between Yemen and other countries, despite the existing international definition of the role. In 1992, the Agency for International Development (AID) funded a workshop for the HMI faculty. Nineteen midwives, nurses and other health care professionals used task analysis techniques to define key knowledge, skills and attitudes that a midwife should be taught in Yemen. Task analysis, a psychometric (test development) technique, is a process that can be used to develop specific role delineations. This article describes in detail the process of task analysis in identifying key skills, knowledge and attitudes to be taught to student midwives in Yemen, clarifying the role of midwives and identifying the usefulness of a derived task listing in educational development and student evaluations.
