Describe in your own words why you consider leaving the profession [see Fig. 2]). Figure 2. Included questions regarding Dutch midwives’ wellbeing, a national study16 Analysis Descriptions of background and workplace variables were calculated and summarised. Next, we performed a descriptive analysis regarding the intention to leave using SPSS version 25.0. Also, we performed chi-square tests to compare the intentions and reasons to potentially leave between Newly Qualified Midwives and Experienced Midwives. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Thereafter, we analysed the open-ended question in the survey. We read and reread the comments of respondents and initially coded the fragments independently from each other, then created categories. Next, we organised the categories into themes. 26 These themes were then ordered using the applied Job Demand and Resources model. 27 ATLAS.ti version 8.4 supported the qualitative analysis. PART 2 Interview study In part two, we performed 20 in-depth interviews with midwives across the Netherlands. We had to exclude three interviews from these 20 interviews because these midwives worked exclusively in hospital-based care. The included interviews lasted 45 minutes on average, three were conducted on-site, and 14 online.
