The study sample consisted of 94 midwives and nurses. Among them 4.7% (5) of nurses were male other 95.3% (89) of the research participants were female with the age of 20-29 44.7% (42), 30-39 21.3% (20), 40-49 11.7% (11), over 50 years 22.3% (21) and length of working experience for participants were 4 (4.3%) up to 1 year, 44 (46.8%) of 1-5 years, 13 (13.8%) 6-10 years, 11 (11.7%) 11-20 years, 22 (23.4%) over 21 years. The result showed that total workload of midwife is 484 minutes a day and 65.1% spend for daily healthcare, 12.2% of time for public health, 12.3% spend for filling out essiential documents.
