New study aims to predict burnout in midwives
NCT ID NCT07234344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 209 midwives to understand what leads to compassion fatigue—a state of emotional exhaustion from work. Researchers used surveys to measure stress and burnout, then built a simple model to predict who might be at high risk. The goal is to help managers spot problems early and offer support.

- If successful, this could help hospitals quickly identify midwives at risk of compassion fatigue and take steps to support them.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study in one region, so the model may not apply to all midwives or healthcare settings.
