Abstract：Objective To explore the levels and correlations of work pressure source, work burnout and mental health status of midwives, and provide basis for improving physical and mental health of midwives. Methods Totally 60 midwives and 60 obstetric nurses were randomly selected to conduct a survey on work stress sources, work burnout, coping styles and scl-90 scales. The indexes of work stress sources, work burnout, positive coping, negative coping and mental health status of the two groups of nurses were compared. Results The score of total work pressure source in the midwife group was 2.66±0.70, higher than that in the maternity nurse group (P<0.05). The scores of emotional exhaustion (28.28±8.60), job apathy (12.39±5.04), no sense of achievement in work (35.74±9.81), negative coping (34.72±4.96) and total score of mental status (1.74±0.61) in the midwife group were all higher than those in the maternity nurse group (23.47±7.35, 8.56±3.18, 28.62±7.45, 30.86±4.50, 1.46±0.50, P<0.05), while positive coping score (29.57±3.36) in the midwife group was lower than that in the maternity nurse group (33.44±4.71, P<0.05). The total scores of work pressure and work burnout in the midwives were both positively correlated with the total scores of mental health status (r=0.687, 0.549, P<0.01). Conclusion In contrast with maternity nurses, midwives have more work pressure, more work burnout, worse coping styles and poorer mental health. We should adopt targeted measures to improve the physical and mental health of midwives.
