The purpose of this study was to explore the significance of performing a life story interview for gerontological nursing students. The study had a qualitative exploratory design, focusing on hermeneutical understanding using thematic analysis. Seven nurses in older people nursing were interviewed. Two main themes emerged from the analysis: "Engaging fellowship" and "Understanding the importance of life stories." The participants experienced increased engagement and fellowship with their patients after the life story interview; the change in their perspective was characterized by renewed interest, connection, and recognition of the individual person. The participants also gained a deeper understanding of the significance of listening to an older person's life story narrative, and this was expressed through them gaining an understanding of people's actions, achieving an altered mindset, gaining a greater generational understanding, and integrating a life story focus in their everyday professional life. Knowledge of human life and stories makes older people's situations easier to understand; this insight affects how we as nurses think about others. Seeing each patient as an individual and unique person and being aware of this in daily care is essential for nursing.
本研究的目的是探讨为老年护理专业学生进行人生故事访谈的意义。该研究采用定性探索性设计，重点是运用主题分析进行诠释性理解。对七位从事老年人护理工作的护士进行了访谈。分析得出两个主要主题：“建立融洽关系”和“理解人生故事的重要性”。人生故事访谈后，参与者与患者之间的互动和融洽程度有所提高；他们观点的变化表现为重新产生兴趣、建立联系以及认识到个体的独特性。参与者还更深入地理解了倾听老年人讲述人生故事的重要意义，这体现在他们理解了人们的行为、转变了思维方式、对不同代际有了更深入的理解，并将关注人生故事融入到日常专业工作中。了解人类生活和故事能使老年人的情况更易于理解；这种洞察力影响着我们作为护士对他人的看法。将每位患者视为独特的个体并在日常护理中意识到这一点对护理工作至关重要。
