Assesses burnout and compassion fatigue in midwives, suggesting interventions to improve well-being.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress levels, and associated factors among midwives in Türkiye. METHOD: tests, analysis of variance, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. RESULTS: < .05). Burnout was positively correlated with compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress. Regression analyses indicated that overtime work, professional dissatisfaction, traumatic experiences, and secondary traumatic stress significantly predicted burnout levels. CONCLUSIONS: Heavy workloads and repeated exposure to traumatic events negatively affect midwives' psychological well-being. Institutional interventions aimed at reducing workplace stress, improving working conditions, and providing psychological support may help decrease burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress among midwives.
