“…The findings of this study indicate the wellness of the participants and other healthcare professionals working in mental health facilities seem to be influenced by the demands of their work roles and responsibilities, which can lead to burnout. The present findings seem to be consistent with other research, which found that the nurses and occupational therapy students as well as therapists experience drainage, feelings of shock, blame and condemnation, inadequacy, and the fear of reprisal (Egan & DeLaat, 1994;Matandela & Matlakala, 2016). As a result, these studies and the findings of the current study suggest that there must be support strategies and an ongoing program to assist healthcare professionals to deal with their emotions in order to carry out their work effectively.…”

An exploratory-descriptive qualitative research approach explored occupational therapy students' perceptions of spirituality in occupational therapy groups during the group fieldwork process. Four focus group discussions were conducted and thematically analyzed. Four themes related to the metaphoric expressions of spirituality emerged: (1) occupational group therapy is a vehicle for spirituality; (2) spiritual journey in occupational therapy groups; (3) engaging in occupations facilitates spirituality; and (4) make use of the resources to service the driver and vehicle. Occupational therapy groups appeared to be the facilitators of spirituality through engagement in occupations, which enhanced quality of life, health, and well-being of group members.

“…Mayer and Hamilton's paper (2018) did not mention ethical approval and failed to define the congruity between the research methodology and the research question. Following the close examination of any discrepancies, the decision was made to further exclude the study by Matandela and Matlakala (2016), because the research methodology was not detailed enough, data analysis was vague and the congruity between the research methodology and the interpretation of the result was weak. After rigorous discussion of the quality appraisal results following the independent review by the authors, two further studies were excluded (Ndikwetepo & Strumpher, 2017; Sato, 2015), not because of inadequate quality, but because they did not sufficiently address the PICoS.…”

Many healthcare professionals, including nurses and midwives, have described their involvement in critical incidents as the 'darkest hour' of their professional careers (Scott et al., 2009, p. 328). Incidents have the potential to leave heathcare professionals in significant distress and hence have been described as the second victims of critical incidents. The notion of second victims has drawn attention to and inspired international exploration of this phenomenon (Wu, 2000).A critical incident is defined as 'a sudden unexpected event that has an emotional impact sufficient to overwhelm the usually effective

“…Qualitative research is well suited to providing an in-depth account of an individual’s personal experience [19]. Indeed, there is a growing body of qualitative literature that explores health, social care and education worker experiences following a death by suicide [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. This literature provides a rich insight into practitioners’ experiences following a death by suicide; however, these findings are dispersed across the literature.…”

Recent research has highlighted that the number of people impacted by a death by suicide is far greater than previously estimated and includes wider networks beyond close family members. It is important to understand the ways in which suicide impacts different groups within these wider networks so that safe and appropriate postvention support can be developed and delivered. A systematic review in the form of a qualitative research synthesis was undertaken with the aim of addressing the question ‘what are the features of the experiences of workers in health, education or social care roles following the death by suicide of a client, patient, student or service user?’ The analysis developed three categories of themes, ‘Horror, shock and trauma’, ‘Scrutiny, judgement and blame’, and ‘Support, learning and living with’. The mechanisms of absolution and incrimination were perceived to impact upon practitioners’ experiences within social and cultural contexts. Practitioners need to feel prepared for the potential impacts of a suicide and should be offered targeted postvention support to help them in processing their responses and in developing narratives that enable continued safe practice. Postvention responses need to be contextualised socially, culturally and organisationally so that they are sensitive to individual need.
