Our aim was to conceptualize the impact of racism on racialized midwives in Ontario.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Informed by constructivist grounded theory, we analyzed data contributed by racialized midwives in Ontario who participated in focus groups and interviews as part of a larger study about mental health. Participants had practiced midwifery within the past 15 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven participants from 2 focus groups and one individual interview were included. Our conceptualization, Hypervigilance: Being Plugged In, describes cause\u2010and\u2010effect relationships between 3 pairs of external exposures and corresponding internal responses. The 3 paired relationships are: (1) microaggressions and social isolation elicit exhaustion, (2) bias checking and systemic exclusion elicit educator fatigue, and (3) Whiteness, the White gaze, and institutional inaction elicit disenfranchisement. Participants identified 2 recommendations to improve the mental health of racialized midwives: (1) identify and fund racially and ethnically concordant mental health practitioners for mental health support and (2) combat racism within the profession by requiring antiracism training as part of annual membership renewal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our research has generated a novel conceptualization explaining how exposure to racism negatively impacts the mental health of midwives. This is further supported by the literature with the concept of\n                      <jats:italic>allostatic overload<\/jats:italic>\n                      , whereby allostasis is no longer possible. When this occurs in the body, it can lead to illness and disability. This signifies an alert to the profession and systems partners to address the impact of racism on the workforce. This study provides insight into racialized midwives\u2019 experiences and presents recommendations to counter the impacts of racism.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.13773","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,14]],"date-time":"2025-06-14T04:13:49Z","timestamp":1749874429000},"page":"771-779","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Conceptualizing the Impacts of Racism on Racialized Midwives in Ontario: An Alert to the Profession"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1185-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claire","family":"Ramlogan\u2010Salanga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster Midwifery Research Centre McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivienne","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster Midwifery Research Centre McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maleeka","family":"Munroe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster Midwifery Research Centre McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth C.","family":"Cates","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster Midwifery Research Centre McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology &amp; Molecular Medicine McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.
