Introduction: Midwives are always faced with ethical challenges in their day care, so they need to be aware of the legal and professional aspects of their care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate knowledge of midwives about rules and regulations and professional Ethical codes in North Khorasan hospital in 2018. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on midwives working in the maternity department of affiliated hospitals of North Khorasan province in 2018 using census method. The tools used in this study were demographic questionnaire and knowledge of professional ethics codes and midwifery rules and regulations. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16) and descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman correlation coefficient. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: In this study, the mean of midwives 'knowledge of professional ethics codes was 7.82 ± 1.88 and the mean of midwives' knowledge of midwifery rules and regulations was12.7 ± 2.89. Most people had moderate awareness of professional ethical codes in 66 (78.6%) and 40 (47.6%) of them had low and 40 (47.6%) of them had moderate knowledge of midwifery laws and regulations.
Conclusions: Due to insufficient midwives' awareness of professional ethical codes and midwifery rules and regulations, implementation of retraining programs to improve midwive's awareness in order to improve performance and increase satisfaction as well as reduce health errors seems necessary
