A focused mapping review and synthesis of current practice in qualitative end of life research with the bereaved.

CONCLUSION: There is no evidence that participation in research harms those who have recently been bereaved, but there is evidence of benefits from participating.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Researchers should not feel they need to protect the bereaved from participating in research and can invite bereaved individuals to join a study without worrying about causing them harm.
