Abstract
The authors of this study aimed to explore midwives’ views and perceptions of ethnocentrism regarding obstetric racism. A total of 336 midwives participated in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. The authors utilized the Ethnocentrism Scale alongside demographic and professional information forms. The relationship between the ethnocentrism scale and certain variables related to midwives was analyzed using the t-test. Only 36% of the midwives heard of the term obstetric racism, and 38% reported that they observed behaviors indicating discrimination against pregnant refugee women. The mean score of the participants in the Ethnocentrism Scale in general was 53.01(5.74). The high perception of ethnocentrism can affect the interaction of midwives with people from different cultures.
