Data were collected using virtual platforms and analysed using descriptive and analytical tests including regression analysis.ResultsThe mean professional quality of life was high (59.7%) in most participants. Midwives' personal perception of empowerment alone predicted 17% of professional quality of life.ConclusionsGiven midwives' role in maintaining and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes, it is important to devise policies and plans to enhance midwives' perception of empowerment, especially with regards to autonomous practice and management.
