Stories have been used as a way to educate and inform. An educational activity was created for use with prelicensure nursing students in a maternal infant health course where students had the opportunity to be present to the birth stories of older adults. These stories were transformative and brought new context to how the students understood current-day labor and birth practices. This activity allowed students to see how powerful the birth process is in a woman's life, in that these memories had the power to transcend time. Students were also able to build relationships and practice their communication skills with older adults, which in turn may also be beneficial for the older adults as well.
故事一直被用作一种教育和传达信息的方式。在一门母婴健康课程中，为预执业护理专业的学生开展了一项教育活动，让学生有机会聆听老年人的分娩故事。这些故事具有变革性，为学生理解当今的分娩实践带来了新的背景。这项活动让学生看到分娩过程在女性生活中有多么强大，因为这些记忆有超越时间的力量。学生们还能够与老年人建立关系并锻炼他们的沟通技巧，而这反过来对老年人也可能有益。
