First Nations Peoples' perceptions, knowledge and beliefs regarding stillbirth prevention and bereavement practices: A mixed methods systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to understand the perceptions, knowledge and beliefs about stillbirth among First Nations Peoples. Without research within this area, interventions to prevent stillbirth and support bereaved parents and their communities after stillbirth may face barriers to implementation.PMID:38640744 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101604 (Source: Women Birth)

Association between decision-making during pregnancy and woman-centred care among Tanzanian pregnant women: A cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSION: Pregnant women who made decisions for the birthing place had a higher likelihood of having a high level of WCC compared with their counterparts. Our findings suggest that women should be empowered to be involved in decision-making to increase their satisfaction with the care provided by healthcare providers and foster a positive childbirth experience.PMID:38615514 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101615 (Source: Women Birth)

Global attention should be directed to scaling up the establishment of MLBCs, especially in LMIC, to improve the positive childbirth experience and increase access to care.PMID:38615515 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101612 (Source: Women Birth)

A cross-sectional survey of the mental health of midwives in Ontario, Canada: Burnout, depression, anxiety, stress, and associated factors
CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of Ontario midwives are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout, which should be a serious concern for the profession, its leaders, and regulators. Investment in strategies aimed at retaining midwives that address underlying factors leading to attrition should be prioritized.PMID:38615516 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101613 (Source: Women Birth)

Effectiveness of interventions on occupational stress, health and well-being, performance, and job satisfaction for midwives: A systematic mixed methods review
CONCLUSION: It is recommended that health practitioners and policy makers implement interventions that target both individual- and organisation-levels to optimally support midwives' work stress, health, well-being, and performance. Notwithstanding these findings and implications, some studies had poor methodological quality; thus, future research should better follow intervention reporting guidelines.PMID:38580584 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.02.005 (Source: Women Birth)
