Background This study aims to explore the emotional and behavioural responses and coping strategies of fathers or expectant fathers who faced a significant traumatic event during a partner's pregnancy, labour, or the postpartum period. Methods This prospective qualitative study of 24 fathers was conducted at a public teaching hospital in Brisbane, Australia. ‘Traumatic pregnancy’ was defined as a pregnancy complicated by life-threatening or severe risk to the mother and the fetus, termination of pregnancy, intrauterine fetal death or stillbirth. Semi-structured interviews of participants were conducted 3-4 months after the traumatic event. An initial qualitative analysis with automatic coding was performed using Leximancer and later followed by a six-phase manual thematic analysis. Results A pregnancy-related traumatic event had significant mental and physical impacts on fathers. Participants' reactions and coping strategies were varied and influenced by their background history, pre-existing vulnerabilities, and the gap between expectation and reality. Most fathers described a fluctuating state between their needs 'not being met' and 'being met'. These needs were conceptualised using Maslow’s hierarchy and Calman’s gap theory to construct a composite thematic model to depict the universal requirements of men facing a traumatic pregnancy or childbirth. Conclusions A greater understanding of the needs of men and gaps in their care is urgently needed. A targeted effort is required to make maternity services father-inclusive. This approach may assist in preventing long term consequences on fathers, partners, and their children.

“…It became clear that the participants of this study were committed to the spiritual care services they provided and that they served as a synergistic satisfier (Max-Neef, 1987) in which the mutual benefit of the patient/carer relationship was symbiotic. The participants in this study negotiated entry into spiritual care services at SLCH through diverse touch points and for various personal reasons.…”

Spiritual Care: Motivations and Experiences through the Lenses and Voices of a Cohort of Spiritual Care Workers at an Established Hospice in Cape Town, South Africa

While palliative care is beginning to gain prominence in South Africa, spiritual care remains less understood. Spiritual care is less prioritised and, consequently, this service, if offered, is mostly entrusted to volunteers. It therefore becomes prudent to understand who these volunteers are, what motivates them to volunteer, and how they see spiritual care being sustainable in the future. A cohort of spiritual care workers from a prominent hospice in Cape Town, South Africa, participated in this qualitative study. The participants made suggestions about formalising spiritual care as well as making a call for a basic entry requirement into spiritual care work.

This article presents an overview of the genesis of the beliefs and values about occupational therapy as they emerged in the USA, reviews some of the factors associated with these developments, and questions the professional relevance of the concept of occupation as promulgated in the model of human occupation. Part 1 provides the background: it offers an historical outline of the beginning of occupational therapy in the USA, reflects on the meaning of occupation, and evaluates the concept of occupation as therapy. Part 2 considers the scientific aspects of occupation from a paradigmatic perspective, and concludes with suggesting that the concept of competence, rather than occupation, has provided and will continue to provide the philosophical underpinning for occupational therapy.
