The construction of space in which a story takes place can have important consequences for the evaluation of health interventions. In this article, we explore the ways professionals narratively position themselves in a situation, treating identity literally as "knowing one's place." More specifically, we explore the spatial language health professionals use to describe their work. Using descriptions of professionals in a drug habilitation organization, we illustrate how they use route (i.e., an active tour through the space), survey (i.e., a stationary viewpoint from above), and gaze perspectives (i.e. a stable viewpoint onto a place) to explain the work situations they encounter. Each of these perspectives facilitates a different mode of evaluation in terms of distance, emotion, and identity. We propose opportunities for research and implications of the ways in which spaces and spatial perspectives set the scene in the narratives of healthcare professionals.
故事发生的空间构建对于健康干预措施的评估可能会产生重要影响。在本文中，我们探讨专业人员在一种情境中如何通过叙事来定位自己，将身份切实地视为“知晓自己的位置”。更具体地说，我们探讨健康专业人员用于描述其工作的空间语言。通过对一个药物康复组织中专业人员的描述，我们阐明他们如何使用路线（即对空间的主动巡视）、俯瞰（即从上方的固定视角）和凝视视角（即对一个地方的稳定视角）来解释他们所遇到的工作情境。就距离、情感和身份而言，这些视角中的每一个都促成了一种不同的评估模式。我们提出了研究机会以及关于空间和空间视角在医疗专业人员叙事中如何设定场景的相关影响。
