INTRODUCTION: With the development of perinatology, births have shifted to hospitals, where midwives play the main role in providing support during childbirth. In the 20th century, the new profession of "doula" emerged. A doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous emotional, physical and informational support to the mother before, during and after birth. Midwives and doulas overlap in their responsibilities, which leads to conflicts. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research is to examine midwives' attitudes toward doulas and to determine the association between midwives' professional experience and educational level and their attitudes toward doulas. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The research was conducted online using an anonymous questionnaire. 103 midwives were involved in a research who works in a maternity ward in a public hospital in Croatia. RESULTS: Data analysis showed that midwives have positive attitudes toward doulas. There was no association between midwives' work experience and education level and their attitude toward doulas. CONCLUSION: Midwives and doulas share a common goal of achieving a positive birth experience for birthng women, therefore it is necessary to create a collegial interprofessional collaboration and provide education for a better understanding of both roles.
