Imagine finding your life’s calling through a book in high school and embarking on a journey that takes you from the rural landscapes of Iran to lecturing at a prestigious university in Scotland. That's the incredible story of Mo Tabib, a midwifery lecturer at Roberts Gordon University. Inspired by a story about a midwife in rural Iran, Mo's passion led her through an extensive education at Tehran University and memorable experiences working in remote areas of Iran. Her narrative is a testament to the power of storytelling in midwifery, making a profound impact on her students and her own professional growth.
Transitioning to the UK, Mo faced numerous challenges, from adapting to team-based work to understanding different cultural practices. This transition highlighted the importance of evidence-based practice in midwifery, with real-world examples like optimal cord clamping underscoring the need for solid research. Mo's personal experiences with relaxation techniques, especially after a personal loss, inspired further academic pursuits, culminating in her PhD research focused on calmness techniques during cesarean sections.
Completing a PhD is no easy feat, and Mo's journey was filled with stress and the need for emotional balance. By developing a morning routine that included meditation, Mo found a way to stay present and make significant progress on her research. Her work on the emotional intelligence program for midwives in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire shows promising results, aiming to support the mental and emotional well-being of midwives. This episode promises rich insights into the evolution of midwifery practices, the transformative power of storytelling, and the critical role of research in maternal care.
