Emotional Complications in Midwives Participating in Pregnancy Termination Procedures—Polish Experience

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

 

Your paper is interesting but I have doubts about methodological design. I would like you to resolve the following issues:

 

INTRODUCTION

The introduction is very long. It would be interesting to know epidemiological data.

 

METHODS

Authors must specify the research design.

What was the target population? How was the sample chosen? Authors must specify it.

Also, authors must specify sociodemographic variables.

 

DISCUSSION

The discussion is based on very old references. Authors should review more recent research.

 

REFERENCES

Many bibliographies are obsolete. The bibliographic citations used are more than 5 years old (85,7%). The authors must update and arrange the bibliography.

There are recent meta-analytic articles on risk factors in midwives and on burnout in midwives. It is recommended to cite any.

Like around 192, This study used OLBL and adapted for 16 questions in the questionnaire. To help reader's understanding better, it is suggested that presenting the consisted items of 16 questions in detail.
