What this trial studies

This interventional study offers a structured Student Midwife Support Circle to midwifery students at Amasya University. Consenting students who have not previously received the intervention will take part in regular, facilitated support sessions focused on processing clinical experiences and building coping skills. Burnout, resilience, and professional belonging will be measured before and after the intervention using standardized questionnaires to track change over time. The study aims to determine whether these support circles improve emotional well-being and students' integration into the profession.
