Abstract
Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the impact of negative patient outcomes on healthcare
providers. In Ghana, obstetric providers regularly face maternal and neonatal mortality, yet limited research has focused on provision
of mental health support for these providers. This study sought to understand how obstetric providers viewed seeking mental health
support after poor clinical outcomes, with a focus on the role of mental health stigma.
