Psychiatric nurses interested in extending their interpersonal and psychotherapeutic skills sometimes undertake postgraduate training in gestalt therapy. Little is known about how this new knowledge and psychotherapeutic skill base informs their practice. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study that aimed to explore the influence of gestalt therapy training on psychiatric nursing practice. Within a framework of narrative inquiry, four psychiatric nurses trained in gestalt therapy were invited to tell their stories of training in a gestalt approach to therapy, and recount their experiences of how it influenced their practice. In keeping with narrative analysis methods, the research findings were presented as a collection of four stories. Eight themes were derived from a thematic analysis conducted within and across the four stories. The discussion of the themes encapsulates the similarities and differences across the storied collection, providing a community and cultural context for understanding the individual stories.
对拓展人际和心理治疗技能感兴趣的精神科护士有时会接受格式塔治疗的研究生培训。对于这种新知识和心理治疗技能基础如何影响他们的实践，知之甚少。本文介绍了一项定性研究的结果，该研究旨在探讨格式塔治疗培训对精神科护理实践的影响。在叙事探究的框架内，邀请了四位接受过格式塔治疗培训的精神科护士讲述他们接受格式塔治疗方法培训的故事，并讲述他们的经验，说明这如何影响他们的实践。根据叙事分析方法，研究结果以四个故事的集合呈现。从对四个故事进行的主题分析中得出了八个主题。对主题的讨论涵盖了故事集合中个体故事的异同，为理解个体故事提供了一个社区和文化背景。
