• Abstract: BACKGROUND: Midwives, as an essential part of the health-care professionals, make a necessary contribution to the health-care system. They are in demand in developed countries and developing countries like Albania.AIM: This study was carried out to identify the main factors that influence the students’ decisions about choosing midwifery as their career.METHODS: Aquantitative descriptive research design was used to identify the motivating reasons for attending midwifery. This quantitative explorative study was born at the University of Shkodra, Albania, with the midwifery students in February–March 2022. One hundred seventeen voluntary students were included in the study. The data were collected online through a questionnaire prepared by the authors and analyzed with the SPSS software, using exploratory factor analysis with the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test.RESULTS: It was found that five main domain factors influence students on choosing midwifery as a future career. “Extrinsic rewards of midwifery” and “Employment security over midwifery life” were considered more critical domains. The dominant issues included were about: security, economic welfare, career opportunities, transferring to nursing studies, and more possibilities to work as a midwife in other countries. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study provided valuable information regarding motivating factors that attract the new generation to join midwifery in Albania. Understanding why people choose to study midwifery may help managers and educators develop student focused and enticing midwifery programs
