This study aimed to determine the secondary traumatic stress experiences of midwives and to reveal their relationship with psychological resilience levels and some other factors.Method: A cross-sectional and descriptive design was used in the study. The study group consisted of 502 midwives. Three separate forms were used to collect the data, namely, a personal information form, the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, and the Resilience Scale for Adults.Results: In the study, the mean score of the midwives from the secondary traumatic stress scale was found to be high, and their mean scores from the psychological resilience scale was low (53.10 ± 17.97; 135.52 ± 32.06, respectively). A statistically significant difference was found in terms of the secondary traumatic stress and psychological resilience scale scores according to midwives’ age, education level, marital status, love of profession, working years, thoughts about professional future, and the status of receiving psychosocial in-service training (p KW - Midwife KW - Psychological resilience KW - Secondary traumatic stress KW - Traumatic births N2 - Amaç: Ebeler, travmatik doğumlara tanık olma açısından ikincil travmatik stres yaşama riski taşıyan önemli bir gruptur. Bu çalışmada, ebelerin ikincil travmatik stres deneyimlerinin belirlenmesi, psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeyleri ve diğer bazı faktörlerle ilişkisinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı özellikte bir çalışmadır. Çalışma grubu 502 ebeden oluşmuştur. Verileri toplamak için Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İkincil Travmatik Stres Ölçeği ve Yetişkinler için Dayanıklılık Ölçeği olmak üzere üç ayrı form kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmamızda ebelerin ikincil travmatik stres toplam puanı yüksek, dayanıklılık ölçeği toplam puanı ise düşük düzeyde tespit edilmiştir (sırasıyla 53,10 17,97; 135,52 32,06). Ebelerin yaşı, eğitim düzeyi, medeni durumu, mesleğini sevme durumları, çalışma süresi, mesleki gelecekleri hakkındaki düşüncelerine ve psikososyal hizmet içi eğitim alma durumuna göre ikincil travmatik stres ve psikolojik dayanıklılık ölçeği puanları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p CR - 1.
