 BACKGROUND: Burnout, stress, trauma and other psychological health issues are major drivers of attrition, absenteeism, and reduced workplace engagement for midwives. Given the central roles midwives play in providing quality maternity care, it is important to monitor the mental and emotional health of midwives and to understand factors that are associated with a higher or lower incidence of problems. The aim of this review was to report on empirical literature pertaining to the psychological impact of midwifery work for midwives working in Australia. METHODS: The Joanna Briggs scoping review methodology was used. MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Maternity & Infant Care Datacare, CINAHL and SCOPUS were searched to identify research pertaining to the psychological impact of midwifery work for Australian midwives. RESULTS: A total of 26 papers met inclusion criteria. Midwifery work in Australia carried a significant psychological burden, with high rates of burnout, emotional exhaustion, depression, anxiety, and stress. Most midwives had witnessed traumatic events. Working in continuity of midwifery carer models was associated with lower rates of mental health concerns, while younger midwives and those with fewer years in the workforce were negatively impacted. DISCUSSION: Midwives in Australia are impacted significantly by their work
  especially by burnout, the impact of witnessing traumatic events, depression, stress and anxiety, and moral distress. Midwifery continuity of carer models were protective for psychological impacts. CONCLUSIONS: Effective workplace interventions to better support the midwifery workforce, including access to continuity models, are required to sustain Australia's high quality maternity care system.
