Conditions
Summary
Midwifery students are exposed to multifaceted stressors such as traumatic and unsupportive clinical experiences and psychosocial burdens; this can negatively impact emotional well-being, leading to secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and decreased sense of belonging. In this context, there is a growing need for structured and supportive interventions aimed at strengthening students' self-efficacy, resilience, and perceptions of social support. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Student Midwife Support Circle Intervention on midwifery students' levels of burnout, resilience, and professional belonging.

Interventions
Student Midwife Support Circle (SMSCs), unlike other reflective or informational group practices, offer a supportive, nurturing, and student-centered space where students from all grade levels come together in a circle to participate in a semi-structured yet flexible session facilitated by a recognized parent academic. These voluntary, extracurricular, two-hour sessions are held on campus in a safe and comfortable environment with cushioned seating and dim lighting. Sessions are offered regularly, varying in frequency from bi-weekly to bi-monthly, based on student needs and feedback.
