Abstract
Ievads: Vairāki starptautiski pētījumi ir atklājuši, ka vecmātes cieš no izdegšanas, depresijas, trauksmes un stresa. Pierādījumi liecina, ka darba vide var veicināt negatīvo ietekmi uz vecmāšu garīgo veselību. Šajā literatūras apskatā ir sniegts esošās literatūras kopsavilkums par darba faktoriem, kas saistīti ar sliktu garīgo veselību, aizsardzības faktoriem un iespējamiem profilakses pasākumiem.
Mērķis: Apkopot un analizēt pēdējās desmitgades rakstus par darba faktoriem, kas var ietekmēt vecmāšu garīgo veselību.
Metodes: Studentu pētnieciskajā darbā tika izmantotas četras elektroniskas datu bāzes, lai atrastu atbilstošus pēdējo desmit gadu pētījumus. Kopumā tika identificēti 15 raksti, kas atbilda iekļaušanas kritērijiem.
Rezultāti: Pētījumos ir konstatēts, ka vairāki profesionālie faktori ir saistīti ar izdegšanu, depresiju, trauksmi un stresu. Darba vides riska faktori ietver darbu standarta aprūpē, emocionāli pozitīvas darba vides trūkumu, traumatisku notikumu risināšanu, atbalsta trūkumu un lielu darba slodzi.
Secinājums: šajā pārskatā tika identificēti vairāki riska faktori, aizsargājoši un profilaktiski faktori, kas saistīti ar vecmāšu garīgo veselību. Ir nepieciešami turpmāki pētījumi, lai novērtētu, vai pastāv saistība starp darba vietu un depresiju, trauksmi un stresu. Arī turpmākajos pētījumos un intervencēs jākoncentrējas uz identificētajiem riska faktoriem, lai nodrošinātu vecmāšu veselību un labbūtību.
Introduction: Several international studies have found that midwives suffer from burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress. Evidence suggests that the working environment is likely to contribute to a poor mental health. This literature review provides a summary of the existing literature on occupational factors that are associated with poor mental health, protective factors, and possible preventative measures. Aim: To summarize and analyze articles from the last decade on occupational factors that may affect the mental health of midwives. Methods: Four electronic databases were used to find relevant studies from the last ten years. A total of 15 articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Results: Several occupational factors were found to be associated with burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress. These includes working in standard care, lack of positive working environment, dealing with traumatic events, lack of support, and heavy workload. Conclusion: This review identified several risk factors, protective and preventative factors related to the mental health of midwives. Future research is needed to evaluate if there is association between workplace and depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, future studies and interventions should focus on the identified risk factors to safeguard midwives’ wellbeing.
