Storytelling can be therapeutic. For the person, it is both validating and valuing--as nothing else can do. There is a connection between old age and spirituality and a quest for transcendence--to express one's self as part of the human condition. This article seeks to describe the links among spirituality, nursing care, and patient/resident storytelling, and includes suggestions on how to help older adults tell their stories, even if they are cognitively challenged by memory and language loss. It describes a worldview as expressed in several of the new nursing theories as "humanness": a life cycle of continuous growth leading, perhaps, to "self-transcendence." Storytelling can be peacemaking and transformative. The voice of the "wounded storyteller" and how nurses can make that voice heard might be the takeaway message.
讲故事具有治疗作用。对讲述者来说，这既是一种肯定，也是一种重视——因为没有其他方式可以做到这一点。衰老与灵性之间存在着联系，人们追求超越——将自己表达为人类状况的一部分。本文旨在描述灵性、护理关怀以及患者/居民讲述故事之间的联系，并提出了一些帮助老年人讲述故事的建议，即使他们因记忆和语言丧失而在认知上受到挑战。它描述了一种世界观，这种世界观在几种新的护理理论中被表述为“人性”：这是一个持续成长的生命周期，可能会导致“自我超越”。讲故事可以起到和解和变革的作用。“受伤的讲述者”的声音，以及护士如何让这种声音被听到，可能是本文的要点。
