To scope and synthesise literature around the job satisfaction of early career midwives - those in their first five years of post-qualification practice - including the effect on their career aspirations and intention to leave the profession.
Scoping review.
Relevant databases were searched for published research studies and grey literature. Literature were selected through adherence to pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevance. Literature was included that was published from 2012. Selected literature were tabled and common themes were mapped to look for similarities and differences in findings.
Ten papers were included - seven original research studies, a fact sheet, a non peer-reviewed article, and a conference paper. Negative themes - lack of support, workload stress, and job dissatisfaction, and positive themes - passion for midwifery, collegial relationships, and autonomy - were found across many of the included papers.
Many midwives are considering leaving their profession due to the stress of their work, role dissatisfaction, and a lack of support. This is more common amongst early career midwives. There were some protective factors such as having pride in the midwifery profession. More research is needed to identify and address the needs specific to early career midwives.
对有关初入职场助产士（即资格认证后执业头五年的助产士）工作满意度的文献进行梳理和综合分析，包括其对职业抱负及离职意愿的影响。
范围综述。
在相关数据库中检索已发表的研究和灰色文献。通过遵循预设的纳入和排除标准筛选文献以确保相关性。纳入2012年以来发表的文献。将所选文献列表，并梳理共同主题以寻找研究结果中的异同。
纳入十篇论文——七篇原创研究、一份情况说明书、一篇非同行评审文章和一篇会议论文。在所纳入的许多论文中都发现了负面主题——缺乏支持、工作压力和工作不满，以及正面主题——对助产工作的热情、同事关系和自主权。
许多助产士因工作压力、角色不满和缺乏支持而考虑离职。这在初入职场的助产士中更为常见。存在一些保护因素，比如对助产职业感到自豪。需要开展更多研究来识别和满足初入职场助产士的特定需求。
