Pelaksanaan uji kompetensi program diploma kebidanan dilaksanakan untuk mengukur sejauh mana kualitas lulusan dalam memiliki pengetahuan, keterampilan dan sikap professional sebelum menjalankan tugas dalam memberikan pelayanan kesehatan. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui tentang faktorfaktor yang berhubungan dengan nilai uji kompetensi menurut akreditasi, status kepemilikan dan wilayah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan rata-rata nilai uji kompetensi berdasarkan akreditasi dan wilayah. Disarankan pula agar adanya penyelasaran substansi uji dengan kurikulum, perlunya persamaan garis besar kurikulum di setiap institusi pendidikan mengingat di beberapa institusi yang menggunakan kurikulum berbasis kompetensi (KBK) akan lebih unggul dalam kompetensi praktek (knows how, show how) sedangkan di institusi yang menggunakan kurikulum konvensional justru sebaliknya, serta pengendalian mutu terhadap institusi agar dapat menghasilkan lulusan yang berkualitas.

This research uses quantitative and qualitative approach. The result shows that there is difference in the average score from the competencies examination based on the accreditation and location of the academy. It is sugested that a hamonization in the substance of the examination curricullum is a must, a standard curricullum in every academy is required, since some academy using competencies based curicullum is better in practice (knows how and shows how) compared to the academy using conventional curicullum, so that the quality control against the academy could result in qualified graduates.
