Stories appear to provide an indirect way of confronting the inherent conflict between the concepts of disease and wellness and assisting in the transition to a new concept of living well with the disease. This new concept may engender feelings of acceptance and hope that can facilitate application of knowledge and behavior change. In addition, culturally appropriate stories allow people to draw from their own personal beliefs and values to interpret and apply new information to their own lives. A good story takes listeners on a collective journey with many paths; each path is uniquely suited to the needs of the individual, with wisdom gained that is uniquely suited to their own life.
故事似乎提供了一种间接方式，来直面疾病与健康概念之间的内在冲突，并助力向与疾病和谐共处的新生活概念转变。这种新概念可能引发接纳感和希望感，从而促进知识的应用和行为改变。此外，符合文化背景的故事能让人们依据自身的个人信仰和价值观，去解读新信息并将其应用到自己的生活中。一个好故事引领听众踏上一条有许多路径的集体旅程；每条路径都独特地契合个人需求，收获的智慧也独特地适合他们自己的生活。
