Mixed-methods study shows how interpersonal trauma affects midwives' work, highlighting the need for support.
Results from this study indicate that midwives are also survivors of ACEs and adult traumas and suffer from PTSD. For some, the decision to become a midwife was influenced by their past traumas. Midwives' professional work continues to shape their trauma recovery and the care they provide throughout their career. Supportive work environments are essential for midwife trauma survivors so they can provide the highest level of patient care while also attending to their own well-being.
