Carers who wished to share their experiences with a national working group (the Consumer Group) prepared narratives as a way of identifying areas for discussion.
The narratives were submitted to one author and subjected to thematic qualitative analysis. The themes were fed back to the Group for discussion.
Five main themes were identified: difficulties in obtaining a diagnosis; acting as an advocate; stresses of caring; practical problems with social care; and emotions experienced by carers.
The narratives provided a means of sharing carers' experiences and creating initiatives for further action by the Group. They have an impact on the people who hear or read them but may also be therapeutic for those who produce them. Narratives can also be a powerful tool in teaching and training, and in identifying areas for service and professional improvement.
希望与一个全国性工作小组(消费者小组)分享自身经历的护理人员撰写了叙述文,以此作为确定讨论领域的一种方式。
这些叙述文提交给了一位作者,并进行了主题定性分析。分析出的主题反馈给该小组以供讨论。
确定了五个主要主题:获得诊断的困难;充当倡导者;护理压力;社会护理的实际问题;以及护理人员所经历的情感。
这些叙述文提供了一种分享护理人员经历并为该小组进一步行动创造倡议的方式。它们对聆听或阅读它们的人有影响,但对撰写者可能也具有治疗作用。叙述文在教学与培训以及确定服务和专业改进领域方面也可以是一个有力工具。
