Dr. Sally Pezaro's research interests are primarily focused on health equity, professional wellbeing, and systemic integrity within the perinatal, midwifery and nursing spheres. Her work is distinctive for its use of decolonial and intersectional feminist methodologies to address the systemic causes of racial and gender bias in care, acknowledging that professional identity itself can become a source of moral distress when systemic pressures compromise a provider's ethical duty. Through investigating issues like staff wellbeing, substance use, burnout and retention, her research aims to develop practical, user-centred interventions that foster inclusive practice and improve health outcomes for marginalised and vulnerable birthing people.
