There is a recent trend in the social sciences--predominantly among researchers engaged with qualitative methodologies--to translate research finding into artistic and narrative forms. In this paper, we describe our work in translating finding about the experiences of men with prostate cancer and their spouses into a dramatic production, No Big Deal? We then report upon, and provide commentary about data from interviews with health professionals who attended a performance.
Health professionals (N = 26) were interviewed within 2 weeks of attending a performance of No Big Deal? and again 6 months later (N = 23).
After attendance at the performance, many study participants reported (at both interview times): new awareness or understanding about the issues facing prostate cancer patients; reinforcements of their positive attitudes and behaviors in relation to patients; an increased sense of connection with ill people; and plans to alter their clinical practices to better meet patient needs.
Narrative and dramatic forms are viable ways to communicate vital information about the possibilities for professionals to be helpful to patients--and they are the wave of the future for educational and dissemination practices.
社会科学领域最近出现了一种趋势——主要是在采用定性研究方法的研究人员中——将研究结果转化为艺术和叙事形式。在本文中，我们描述了将关于前列腺癌男性患者及其配偶经历的研究结果转化为一部戏剧作品《没什么大不了的？》的工作。然后，我们报告了参加该剧演出的医护人员的访谈数据，并提供相关评论。
在医护人员观看《没什么大不了的？》演出后的2周内对他们进行访谈（N = 26），6个月后再次访谈（N = 23）。
观看演出后，许多研究参与者（在两次访谈中）都表示：对前列腺癌患者面临的问题有了新的认识或理解；强化了他们对患者的积极态度和行为；与患病者的联系感增强；并计划改变他们的临床实践以更好地满足患者需求。
叙事和戏剧形式是传达关于专业人员帮助患者可能性的重要信息的可行方式——而且它们是教育和传播实践的未来潮流。
