Surviving and Thriving in Midwifery

About this book

A practical, evidence-based approach to psychological and professional well-being for midwives

Midwifery is an essential profession with a life-saving role in perinatal care. However, studies show that midwives experience remarkably high levels of work-related psychological distress, leading to equally high levels of attrition from the profession. If these issues are not addressed, the loss of qualified midwives may seriously impact the profession's ability to fight perinatal and infant mortality worldwide.

Surviving and Thriving in Midwifery offers a practical, evidence-based guide for midwives to achieve social, psychological, and professional success. Drawing upon extensive research as well as the personal experiences of midwives, the book invites readers to respond to a range of workplace challenges and develop robust strategies for coping, conflict resolution, and more. Thoroughly grounded in occupational psychology, it is a vital tool for any midwife looking to thrive in this critical profession.

Surviving and Thriving in Midwifery readers will also find:

  • A global perspective on midwifery across the life course
  • The author's personal journey through their own experience of losing their fitness to practice through ill health, before regaining it and achieving lasting success
  • Detailed strategies for building psychological safety in midwifery teams, setting boundaries, and many more

Surviving and Thriving in Midwifery is ideal for aspiring, student, and qualified midwives worldwide.
