助產士,職業一種,專門幫婦女接生,亦幫手產前檢查、產後護理,照顧蘇蝦,指導新為人母。助產士有專業訓練同法定地位,以別於傳統執媽。助產士當初上門接生,如今多數喺醫院產房做,亦有出來私人執業開留產所。現今推廣母乳,亦都係助產士其中一種工作。助產士同護士各有所司,雖然有啲護士可以兼做助產士,但一般投身事業,都直入助接士為主。
文
[編輯]英文助產士叫midwife。中古英文以mid解為with,有陪之意。wife則中古解為woman,即女人。midwife,有陪住人母嘅女人嘅意思。助產士絕大多數係女人。男人做助產士,都叫做widwife。若標明男人,就叫male midwife,舊時亦有叫man-midwife。而講笑咁講,有midhusband之說,咁當然誤解咗midwife語源。
日本稱做助產師。
