Overview:
Traumatic experiences, in addition to the serious and chronic effects they have on a woman's mental health, such as depression, chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are also associated with negative effects on overall health, including chronic illness, premature aging and premature death. In addition, traumatic experiences in a woman's life negatively impact the perinatal period, affecting perinatal outcomes, mother-child bond development, and child mental health, resulting in perinatal care professionals (midwives/midwives) often experiencing traumatic situations as part of their daily clinical practice. Therefore, the need arose to further investigate the effectiveness of trauma care (informed or uninformed) provided by midwives to mothers, by exploring their practices and lived experiences, with the aim of documenting needs and developing an educational model of perinatal trauma care. However, the use of trauma-informed care can ensure a healthy interaction between the health professional and the woman through supportive and non-abusive interventions that prevent re-trauma and therefore promote the woman's mental health and well-being. This review presents the importance of educating midwives in trauma-informed care as it has the potential to help improve the health of both mother and infant.

Aims and Objectives:
This review aimed to assess how education on trauma-informed care influences midwives' attitudes toward this approach, in order to make the midwifery care provided more effective.

Methods:
To fulfill the purpose of the study, a review of the international literature was planned through PubMed, Google Scholar, PsycINFO from 15 January 2025 to 15 March 2025. The literature search utilized specific keywords, such as the following: “trauma-informed care”, “midwifery”, “obstetrics”. These terms search were used in conjunction with the use of conjunctions such as “OR” and “AND” per case. Of the three databases used, a number of 35 surveys emerged, from which were selected appropriate, based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Specifically, English articles, research articles, complete and from valid and scientific journals. A total of 19 studies emerged from the literature search, which address midwives' education on trauma-informed care.

Results:
The study indicates that midwives who received training in trauma-informed care developed a significantly more positive outlook toward its principles compared to those who did not. The positive shift was noticeable across all areas, underscoring the program’s success. Integrating trauma-informed care into midwifery practice can reduce the risk of negative outcomes and create lasting positive changes in the lives of both mothers and their children. As a global community, midwives are in a strong position to collaborate and develop effective strategies to support the women they care for.

Conclusion:
This review enhances the understanding of trauma-informed care (TIC) education for midwives and its role in shaping and maintaining positive attitudes toward TIC. To bring about a cultural shift within healthcare organizations that reduces perinatal trauma for mothers, infants, and perinatal care providers, comprehensive TIC education is crucial. This study suggests that educating midwives in TIC serves as a fundamental step toward integrating a trauma-informed framework across the entire maternity care system.
