Brief Summary

Midwives' busy working environments, long working hours, worry of being sued, and encountering problems that may cause trauma can negatively affect their psychological resilience by increasing the stress level of midwives (Yalçın D., Bürün Bingöl F., 2023). Resilience in midwifery is a less researched topic (Sayıner F.D., Çömezoğlu E. et al., 2021). In studies investigating resilience in midwifery; Midwives' secondary traumatic stress total score was found to be high, while their resilience scale total score was found to be low. A negative, highly and statistically significant relationship was detected between the secondary traumatic stress scale and psychological resilience scale scores (r=-0.752; p=0.000) (Dağlı E., Topkara F.N., 2023). In another study, the factors affecting midwives' intention to change jobs or leave the profession were investigated. As a result; It was determined that almost half of the midwives intended to change jobs and/or quit midwifery within 5 years, and the most common reasons for the intention to change jobs/leave were family commitments, working conditions, role dissatisfaction, work-life balance and career change (Pugh J.D., 2013). So, it is recommended to develop programs to increase their quality of life and psychological resilience and to demonstrate their effectiveness through experimental studies (Sevin B., Partlak Gunüşen N., 2021). Hypotheses: H0. Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" does not change midwives' resilience scale scores. H1: Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" increases midwives' resilience scale scores.

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

Training content was prepared in three stages according to the "resilience model in midwives". The training will be in the form of 45-minute presentations and sharings, and individual studies will be carried out in the form of homework according to people's methods of coping with stress. These homework assignments may occasionally include more or less individual meetings depending on the person's coping situation. However, at least 3 meetings will be held. Training and interviews will be conducted by researchers. For this, at least one of the researchers will receive training including personal awareness and motivational interviews.
