      ab: Within healthcare settings, the frequency of complaints made against professionals has been steadily increasing. Despite the significant and sustained duress that complaints may cause, there has been limited research into the experience of those subjected to a complaint. Therefore, a systematic literature review and interpretative meta-synthesis was conducted. Three third-order, interrelated themes were identified encompassing the extensive and significant impacts of complaints on healthcare professionals: "significant and aversive emotional impact," "the need for support," and "the legacy of the complaint." The review highlights the need to be vigilant and sensitive to the profound and pervasive impacts of complaints.
