NCT ID NCT07699887
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two web-based writing programs—compassion-focused and reflective—to see if they improve psychological well-being, self-compassion, and reduce trauma-related stress in midwives working in delivery rooms. About 90 female midwives in Turkey will participate. The goal is to find a practical tool to help these healthcare workers cope with the emotional demands of their job.
