Abstract

AbstractAimA summary of studies focusing on the mental health of midwives during the COVID‐19 pandemic has not yet been conducted. This review aims to comprehensively understand the current state of midwives' mental health in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic and to provide valuable insights to guide future research.MethodsThis study was based on a framework for conducting scoping reviews. The protocol was registered before conducting this review and procedures were carried out according to that protocol. Article searches were conducted in four databases from December 2019 to December 2023. From 921 articles selected according to pre‐registered protocol criteria, the analysis finally included 14 studies.ResultsA total of 13 studies were cross‐sectional and one was longitudinal, with pre‐pandemic data. More than 80% of the studies began data collection within approximately 1 year after the pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization (by February 2021). Half of the studies were conducted in Asia. Burnout and turnover intentions were investigated in several studies but used different measures. Only two studies were aimed at positive aspects such as job satisfaction and well‐being.ConclusionsMost research on midwives' mental health during the COVID‐19 pandemic has focused on negative aspects such as burnout and turnover intentions. However, most results were cross‐sectional, with studies in the early stages of the pandemic, so continued follow‐up is needed.
