AB  - Midwifery students' behaviors in relevant spheres of their lives, as well as 
      their sense of self-efficacy, can affect the process of training in the midwifery 
      profession. The aim of the study was to determine the behaviors of students in 
      Poland, assessed in a situational context, as well as their sense of 
      self-efficacy in correlation with these behaviors at different levels of 
      education in the midwifery profession. The study group included first- and 
      third-year bachelor's degree (BS) midwifery students, as well as master's degree 
      (MS) midwifery students. The survey was conducted on 1031 students. The 
      'Inventory for Personality Assessment in Situations' (IPS) and the General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used in the study. The largest group of students 
      that were categorized as having problematic profiles was observed in the 
      social-communicative domain, which indicates the necessity of introducing 
      corrective and therapeutic actions concerning their interpersonal relations. The 
      leading trait in the social-communicative domain among the BS students was 
      sensitivity to frustration. The lowest self-confidence was observed among the 
      third-year BS students. The average result of generalized self-efficacy among all 
      the respondents was M = 28.36 (SD = 4.41), which indicates the average level of 
      the obtained results. Students at different stages of midwifery programs 
      demonstrate different behaviors when assessed in the situational context.
