Sophrology in social work education
The social work profession experiences elevated stress and burnout rates, yet self-care and resilience building remain underdeveloped areas in professional training. This paper explores the integration of Sophrology, a structured mind-body practice, into social work education to promote students’ self-awareness, emotion regulation and wellbeing. Drawing from two of the authors’ lived experiences and a small pilot project, the paper reports on thr…
A suicide bereavement model
Introduction: The annual suicide death rate is c.760,000 therefore, using the widely accepted estimate of 135 people being exposed to each suicide, the worldwide annual exposure rate is over 100 million. While male suicide-loss survivors (SLSs) are equally exposed, the vast majority of suicide bereavement research includes a large majority of female participants. Methods: Following the eMERGe and PRISMA guidelines, a meta-ethnography (systematic …
A Journey through Reproductive Loss and Autoethnography
Over the many years I (Caroline) have taught reproductive health and conducted research in the area of perinatal loss, I have written and spoken about the strength, courage, and spirit many women/couples display when facing such experiences. But I have also become increasingly aware that I would have to, at some point, revisit my own experience of perinatal loss and understand how it fits within the research I have conducted, the individuals I ha…
Exploring the experiences of ethnic minority postgraduate researchers in the UK
Racism and inequity remain widespread in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), hindering ethnic minority (EM) postgraduate researchers’ (PGRs) prospects. A deeper understanding of the experience of EM PGRs and the obstacles they face is needed. This study endeavoured to explore the plurality of EM PGRs’ experiences and generate PGR-led recommendations. As a largely White research team, we also saw the study as a transformative opportunity for our…

Singing for Wellbeing
Research into the benefits of community-based group singing, pertaining to positive wellbeing and Quality of Life is lacking. Additionally, no preferred theoretical framework exists for community singing-based interventions. For the present study, six members of a UK community choir were interviewed using a semi-structured interview approach. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was employed. Analysis produced superordinate themes of: S…
The role of rumination in adjusting to termination of pregnancy for fetal abnormality
The results confirm the applicability of the PTG model to TFA and support the relevance of rumination to the PTG experience. The results also have clinical implications. Given the positive relationship between deliberate rumination and PTG, promoting interventions that encourage reflective thinking and narrative construction would benefit women post-TFA, particularly those experiencing high levels of distress and/or at risk of complicated grief. …
Pregnancy termination for fetal abnormality
Termination of pregnancy for fetal abnormality
Due to technological advances in antenatal diagnosis of fetal abnormalities, more women face the prospect of terminating pregnancies on these grounds. Much existing research focuses on women's psychological adaptation to this event. However, there is a lack of holistic understanding of women's experiences. This article reports a systematic review of qualitative studies into women's experiences of pregnancy termination for fetal abnormality. Eight…
Women's Experiences of Coping With Pregnancy Termination for Fetal Abnormality
Pregnancy termination for fetal abnormality (TFA) can have significant psychological consequences. Most previous research has been focused on measuring the psychological outcomes of TFA, and little is known about the coping strategies involved. In this article, we report on women's coping strategies used during and after the procedure. Our account is based on experiences of 27 women who completed an online survey. We analyzed the data using inter…
