Ebeler, gebelik ve doğumun doğası gereği insan hayatının duygusal açıdan en yoğun olduğu süreçlere eşlik etmektedir. Ebelerin mesleki sorumluluk alanı yalnızca doğum eyleminin fizyolojik süreçlerini değil, aynı zamanda bakımı altındaki kadınların psikolojik ve duygusal esenliğini de kapsamaktadır. Ebelik mesleği, doğası gereği bir dizi duyguyu barındırmaktadır. Duygular; fizyolojik, bilişsel, motivasyonel ve deneyimsel organize tepkiler olup her biri güçlü değerlendirme bileşenlerine sahiptir. Duygusal zeka yetenek modeli: Duyguları algılama, düşünceyi kolaylaştırmak için duyguları kullanma, duyguları anlama ve duyguları yönetme olarak dört dallı bir bileşendir. Bu modelde, dört dalın her biri, gelişim süreci boyunca edinilen temelden ileri düzeye kadar birbiriyle ilişkili çeşitli becerilerden oluşmaktadır. Doğum ortamında güvene dayalı sosyal ilişkilerin başlatılması ve sürdürülmesi ile duygusal açıdan hassas bir bakım sağlanması ebelik becerilerinin temel yönüdür. Doğum yapan kadınlar, duygusal ihtiyaçları dikkate alınmadığında saygısızlık, kötü muamele, istismar veya obstetrik şiddetle karşılaşabilirler. Doğumun duygusal boyutuna ilişkin bilgi eksikliği, doğum eyleminin yanlış yönetilmesine yol açabilir. Hatta, doğumun duygusal boyutunun anlaşılmaması; fiziksel olarak sağlıklı bir anne ve yenidoğan olsa bile travmatize edici bir doğuma neden olabilir. Bu nedenle ebeler, doğum yapan kadınların duygusal ve psikososyal ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için doğumun duygusal yönlerini derinlemesine anlamalıdır. Etkili ebelik becerileri için duygusal zeka gereklidir. Bu bağlamda bu derlemenin amacı; duygusal zeka yetenek modeli bağlamında doğum eyleminin duygusal boyutunu ele almak ve böylece ebelerin farkındalığını arttırmaktır.

Midwives accompany the most emotionally intense processes of human life due to the nature of pregnancy and birth. The professional responsibility of midwives covers not only the physiological processes of labour but also the psychological and emotional well-being of women under their care. The midwifery profession, by its very nature, harbours a range of emotions. Emotions are organised physiological, cognitive, motivational and experiential responses, each with strong evaluative components. Emotional intelligence ability model: It is a four-branched component of perceiving emotions, using emotions to facilitate thinking, understanding emotions, and managing emotions. In this model, each of the four branches consists of various interrelated skills, from basic to advanced, acquired throughout the development process. Initiating and maintaining trusting social relationships in the birth environment and providing emotionally sensitive care are fundamental aspects of midwifery skills. Women in labour may experience disrespect, mistreatment, abuse or obstetric violence when their emotional needs are not taken into account. Lack of knowledge about the emotional dimension of labour can lead to mismanagement of labour. In fact, a lack of understanding of the emotional dimension of labour can lead to a traumatising birth, even with a physically healthy mother and newborn. Midwives should therefore have a deep understanding of the emotional aspects of labour to meet the emotional and psychosocial needs of women in labour. Emotional intelligence is essential for effective midwifery skills. In this context, the aim of this review is to address the emotional dimension of labour in the context of the emotional intelligence ability model and thus increase the awareness of midwives.
