Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Social workers experience multiple and traumatic client deaths, and making sense of these tragedies is complex. This qualitative inquiry explores the spiritual meaning of the reconstruction processes of 10 social workers after the unanticipated death of a client. Results revealed that spiritual understandings and neoliberal systems were main factors in how death was understood. Informal workplace support was perceived as essential and formal workplace support was perceived as ingenuine or challenging to access. Spiritual and cultural support found within Indigenous cultures and Indigenous-driven organizations were welcomed. Further research on workplace supports, especially spirituality in practice when helping professionals experience client death is recommended.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
