For some nurses, conversations with an older patient are simply the backdrop to caregiving; they represent social pleasantries that help to dignify the sometimes intimate work of the nurse. However, the narratives that patients share through conversations, the way in which incidents or feelings are expressed, can provide valuable additional information that can be used to improve care. This article explores what analysis of narratives has to offer the care of older people and a way of nursing that works more closely with patients' experience of illness, treatment and support. Narrative analysis is portrayed as one means to make nursing care more patient centred.
对于一些护士来说，与老年患者的交谈仅仅是护理工作的背景；它们代表着社交礼仪，有助于使护士有时涉及隐私的工作显得更有尊严。然而，患者通过交谈分享的经历、表达事件或感受的方式，能提供有价值的额外信息，可用于改善护理。本文探讨了叙事分析能为老年人护理带来什么，以及一种能更紧密结合患者疾病、治疗和支持体验的护理方式。叙事分析被视为使护理更以患者为中心的一种手段。
