Ep 77 (ibit.ly/Re5V) Mo Tabib on Emotional Intelligence in Maternal Care
@PhDMidwives #MidTwitter #research #midwifery @RobertGordonUni @RGUMidSoc @world_midwives @MidwivesRCM #phdlife #academiclife
Research link - ibit.ly/yBBrr
Imagine finding your life’s calling through a book in high school and embarking on a journey that takes you from the rural landscapes of Iran to lecturing at a prestigious university in Scotland. That's the incredible story of Mo Tabib, a midwifery lecturer at Roberts Gordon University. Inspired by a story about a midwife in rural Iran, Mo's passion led her through an extensive education at Tehran University and memorable experiences working in remote areas of Iran. Her narrative is a testament to the power of storytelling in midwifery, making a profound impact on her students and her own professional growth.
Transitioning to the UK, Mo faced numerous challenges, from adapting to team-based work to understanding different cultural practices. This transition highlighted the importance of evidence-based practice in midwifery, with real-world examples like optimal cord clamping underscoring the need for solid research. Mo's personal experiences with relaxation techniques, especially after a personal loss, inspired further academic pursuits, culminating in her PhD research focused on calmness techniques during cesarean sections.
Completing a PhD is no easy feat, and Mo's journey was filled with stress and the need for emotional balance. By developing a morning routine that included meditation, Mo found a way to stay present and make significant progress on her research. Her work on the emotional intelligence program for midwives in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire shows promising results, aiming to support the mental and emotional well-being of midwives. This episode promises rich insights into the evolution of midwifery practices, the transformative power of storytelling, and the critical role of research in maternal care.

Discover the transformative journey of Soo Down, Professor of Midwifery Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, as she shares her path from literature and linguistics to a groundbreaking career in midwifery. Sue's passion was ignited at a maternity mission station in apartheid-era South Africa, leading to a direct entry midwifery program in Derby. Our conversation delves into the historical context of midwifery training in the UK, the emergence of midwife-led care, showcasing her unwavering commitment to advancing midwifery practice.
Reflecting on the evolution of maternity care, we explore the Fernandez Institute's collaborative initiatives in India, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Evita Fernandez. We discuss balancing caesarean section rates and promoting physiological births while examining the rise of medicalisation, caesarean rates, and birth trauma awareness. This episode sheds light on the increasing fear in modern maternity care and contrasts it with the trust and confidence that once prevailed, emphasising the need for compassionate care and stress management during childbirth.
We also navigate the intricate journey from master's to PhD in midwifery, offering practical advice for aspiring researchers. Soo shares her insights on the importance of selecting research topics fuelled by genuine curiosity, the dynamics of PhD viva traditions worldwide, and the critical gaps in midwifery research, particularly in the areas of the epigenome and microbiome.

@PhDMidwives #MidTwitter #research #midwifery #Nigeria @world_midwives @uochester @uniport @MedicalworldNig @WorldBank @ProfMarySteen
Medical World Nigeria article HERE
Imagine being the force that reshapes an entire healthcare practice on your continent. Today, we are honored to have Faith Diorgu with us, the vanguard of midwifery education in Nigeria. Her narrative isn't just about personal triumph—it's a story that intertwines with the lives of countless African women, enhancing maternal care through her legacy. Join us as Faith recounts her journey, from her mother's influence to her pioneering role in establishing advanced midwifery programs. It's an exploration of dedication and the indelible impact of academic research in the evolution of midwifery.
Navigating a PhD is no stroll in the park—especially when miles away from the comfort of home. Our conversation turns to the emotional odyssey of a PhD student, mentored by the renowned Professor Mary Steen, as they chart a path through the rigors of academia. We uncover the vitality of small victories, the strength found in a supportive partner's encouragement, and the importance of maintaining mental wellness. Then, as the confetti settles post-PhD, we reflect on the quiet yet profound celebrations that accompany such an extraordinary achievement.
Innovation often springs from the well of knowledge, and we close the episode by marveling at how a newly minted PhD in midwifery took that leap. The story of an innovative birthing chair, fusing cultural wisdom with modern healthcare needs, is not just about utility—it's about revolutionizing maternal care. We discuss the challenges of protecting this invention amidst a pandemic and the collaborative effort to establish a PhD program under the auspices of the World Bank's African Center of Excellence. This is a testament to the transformative power of education and the future of empowered, research-driven midwives transforming healthcare practices.

Research link - ibit.ly/KzSJD
How does a physical education major become a pioneering midwife? In today's episode, we journey through the extraordinary life of Cecilia Jevitt, a seasoned midwife with over 35 years of experience. Cecilia's path started with a fortuitous encounter with an article about the Frontier Nursing Service which completely altered her career trajectory. She shares her story of determination, from earning an associate's and bachelor's degree in nursing to securing a spot in one of the limited midwifery programs of the 1970s at Emory University. Her plans to practice in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the unwavering support she received along the way underscore her incredible dedication to the field.
Next, we explore Cecilia's transition from clinical practice to academia, highlighting her pursuit of a doctorate in applied medical anthropology. With ethnographic research in the UK and experiences working in a large hospital practice, Cecilia offers a unique perspective on midwifery education and regulation. We also discuss the challenges she faced balancing motherhood and education, the significance of doctorally prepared nurses, particularly in underserved regions, and how her academic journey has fueled her passion for expanding midwifery on a global scale.
Lastly, Cecilia walks us through the evolution of midwifery education and practice. From the shift away from routine episiotomies to modern monitoring techniques, we discuss the critical role midwives play in community health and the importance of higher education. The episode also touches on the urgent need for more midwifery programs, especially in underserved areas, and the complexities of maternal care access in the United States. Join us for an engaging conversation that captures the essence of midwifery's past, present, and future, highlighting the transformative power of this essential healthcare profession.
