Abstract

The safety aspect of health workers including midwives as the frontline in handling patients during the COVID-19 pandemic is at risk of being very vulnerable to being exposed to COVID-19 which threatens their lives and safety. Physical and mental fatigue in health workers during a pandemic increases the risk of burnout which can reduce the quality of service to patients. The purpose of this study was to review evidence related to the psychosocial experience of midwives in pregnancy and childbirth services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used was a scoping review beginning with the identification of scoping review questions using the PEO framework; identifying relevant articles to be determined based on inclusion and exclusion criteria; searching for articles using databases, namely Proquest, PubMed, Science Direct, and Wiley Online Library; selecting articles whose search flow is described through the PRISMA Flowchart; performing data charting and critical appraisal; compiling and reporting results. The results obtained based on 8 articles that had been critically appraised showed that 6 articles used qualitative studies, 1 article used mixed-method quantitative study, and 1 article used quantitative descriptive study. A total of 3 themes emerged, namely about the psychological impact, challenges and needs of midwives in pregnancy and childbirth services during the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the experience felt by midwives in pregnancy and childbirth services with psychological impacts such as fear and burnout. In addition, there were challenges faced by midwives and things that were needed by midwives in pregnancy and childbirth services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
