Tabib, Mo; Humphrey, Tracy; Forbes-McKay, Katrina

Abstract

This poster summarises the results of a study that sought to evaluate an emotional intelligence programme for midwives. This programme aimed to address reported challenges experienced by midwives in terms of a discrepancy between wanting to be emotionally and psychologically supportive of their patients, and task-focused institutional expectations for how the midwife should be spending their time.
