'I should have discharged him but I felt guilty': a qualitative investigation of clinicians' emotions in the context of implementing occupational therapy

摘要

BackgroundClinicians' emotions about practice are a potentially powerful yet largely overlooked factor in implementation of good-quality care. The present paper expands the current, limited evidence about clinicians' emotions by (i) describing clinician-reported examples of emotions about practice and (ii) identifying the clinical situations in which, according to clinicians, emotions emerge and influence practice.
