This study examined the effect of positive experiences of caregiving on post-loss depressive symptoms and prolonged grief symptoms among bereaved caregivers of older adults. It also tested for the moderating effect of positive experiences of caregiving on the relationship of pre-loss depressive symptoms with both post-loss outcomes. Data were collected from 42 caregivers interviewed before and after the death of the older care recipients, using measures for depressive symptoms, prolonged grief disorder (post-loss), and positive experiences of caregiving (pre-loss). Multivariable linear regression indicated that more positive experiences of caregiving were associated with higher post-loss depressive symptoms and prolonged grief symptoms. More positive experiences of caregiving also strengthened the detrimental association of pre-loss depressive symptoms with prolonged grief symptoms. Caregivers with more positive experiences of caregiving may be vulnerable to elevated post-loss psychological distress. Healthcare providers and social workers should not assume that caregivers with positive experiences are coping well with bereavement and ensure that they receive adequate mental health support.</p>","PeriodicalId":45992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore the social work role in this context, data was collected from a cohort of 12 social workers employed at a national children's hospital in Ireland, via three focus groups, with four participants in each group. A two-part narrative process elicited social workers' stories of end-of-life care, facilitating the recounting of experiences in the first part of the focus group and allowing the researcher to explore issues raised, in the second part. Following thematic analysis, an overarching theme \"enabling families to find their own path\" emerged, with four sub-themes: a) engaging with families and navigating across boundaries; b) mediating end-of-life care; c) negotiating competing discourses; d) enabling preferences to minimize regrets. The theme and sub-themes provide insight into empowerment of families at this critical time. The use of a narrative approach facilitated the emergence of knowledge about how this is achieved in a hospital setting. This article maps the essential components of practice identified in the study and charts the key contribution that social workers make in supporting families, with the purpose of informing future practice within this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":45992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care","volume":" ","pages":"115-131"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143693854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
