ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct a narrative nursing intervention program for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy based on the meaning in life theory, so as to alleviate the negative psychology of patients and improve the meaning in life of patients.Methods:Using a mixed research design, based on the literature study and qualitative interview, the first draft of narrative nursing intervention program for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy was constructed based on the theory of meaning in life. From June to September 2021, the Delphi method was used to conduct 2 rounds experts consultations among 15 experts from 8 hospitals, and the items were revised according to the expert′s advice.Results:The experts positive coefficients of the 2 rounds consultations were 83.33% and 100.00%, the expert authority coefficient was 0.88, and the Kendall coefficients of importance were 0.183 and 0.215, and the operational Kendall coefficients were 0.234 and 0.363. Finally, a narrative nursing intervention program for lung cancer patients based on the theory of meaning in life was formed. It included four modules: narrative theme, narrative content, narrative interview outline and homework assignment/auxiliary measures. It was performed 7 times in each chemotherapy cycle.Conclusions:The construction process of narrative nursing intervention program for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy based on the theory of meaning in life is rigorous, scientific and practical and can be used to guide clinical psychological nursing intervention for patients with advanced diseases and enrich the way to seek the meaning in life of patients
ABSTRACT
【Objective:】 To understand the current status of narrative nursing knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among nurses in grade A tertiary hospitals, and to provide a basis for the development of narrative nursing in relevant areas. 【Methods:】 Using convenience sampling methods, 931 nurses from three grade A tertiary hospitals in Xi’an were selected as subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Clinical Nurses’ Narrative Nursing Knowledge and Trustworthiness Questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing KAP. 【Results:】 The scores on the three dimensions of narrative nursing KAP were (23.70±2.99) points, (31.69±5.92) points, and (30.26±5.32) points, respectively. Nursing workload, general self-efficacy, professional title, and nursing satisfaction were the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing knowledge dimension (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in nurses’ narrative nursing attitude dimension among nursing workload, general self-efficacy, professional title, monthly income, and nursing satisfaction (P<0.05). Nursing workload, general self-efficacy, nursing satisfaction, and accompanying experience were the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing behavior dimension (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Nurses in grade A tertiary hospitals have moderate narrative nursing knowledge, positive attitudes, and poor practice execution. The high nursing workload is the main barrier factor for the current development of narrative nursing. Nursing managers should actively build a diversified training system and guarantee system to boost the development of narrative nursing in clinical nursing work, and further promote the development of narrative nursing concepts.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the impact of narrative nursing on the meaning and quality of life in chemotherapy patients with advanced lung cancer.Methods:A total of 86 chemotherapy patients with advanced lung cancer hospitalized in the Oncology Department of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from October 2020 to November 2021 were selected and divided into control group with 42 cases and narrative group with 44 cases by random number table method. The control group was treated with routine nursing of patients with tumor chemotherapy while the narrative group was implemented on narrative nursing intervention as well as routine nursing. A total of 12 to 14 times, each chemotherapy period was 7 times. The effect of the intervention was assessed by Meaning in Life Scale for Advanced Cancer Patients (MiLS)、Chinese Version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung(FACT-L 4.0) and Distress Thermometer (DT) before intervention, 1 week, 3 weeks and 2 months after intervention.Results:Forty cases in the control group and 42 cases in the narrative group were involved in the statistical analysis. Two months after intervention, the total score of MiLS, the score of the will to search for meaning, the meaning of life and satisfaction,existential frustration, life control, suffering tolerance and death acceptance in the control group were (98.60 ± 9.17), (14.90 ± 1.91), (13.38 ±2.62), (16.40 ± 2.73), (26.48 ± 3.19), (14.30 ± 1.68), (13.15 ± 3.07) points, which were significantly lower than those in the narrative group (112.02 ± 9.73), (16.45 ± 2.24), (16.31 ± 1.96), (19.40 ± 2.42), (28.76 ±3.48), (16.14 ± 1.82), (14.95 ± 2.39) points, and the difference were statistically significant ( t value were -6.42 --2.98, all P<0.01), and the main effect between groups and time were statistically significant ( F values were 2.76-24.47, all P<0.05). Two months after intervention, the total score of FACT-L, social/family status, emotional status, functional status and lung cancer specific module in control group were (90.75 ± 11.65), (18.58 ± 3.75), (15.65 ± 3.85), (13.48 ± 3.34), (22.00 ± 4.93) points, which were lower than those in the narrative group (102.12 ± 9.32), (20.36 ± 4.29), (18.10 ± 3.25), (16.74 ± 4.05), (24.80 ±3.83) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were-4.89--1.99, all P<0.05), and there was intergroup effect ( F values were 5.14-24.47, all P<0.05). Three weeks and 2 months after intervention, the psychological distress score of control group were (3.88 ± 2.73), (3.60 ± 2.19) points, which were significantly higher than the narrative group (2.52 ± 2.18), (1.90 ± 1.78) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.50, 3.85, both P<0.05), with a time, groups, interaction effect ( F=15.29, 15.86, 2.80, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Narrative nursing can effectively improve the meaning and quality of life and relieve psychological distress in chemotherapy patients with advanced lung cancer. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the application value of narrative nursing in blood collection nursing. 【Methods】 The quantitative questionnaire covering three periods, i. e. prior to narrative nursing intervention, January to June 2019 and July to December 2019, was designed. The pre-, 6-month-post-, and 12-month-post-intervention differences of 10 medical and nursing staff were scored by 100 donors, concerning active listening, reflective writing skill, empathy skill, communication skill and professionalism. 980 valid questionnaires out of 1 000 were returned and analyzed statistically, with P0.05). After 12 months of narrative nursing, active listening, reflective writing, empathy skill, communication skills and professionalism increased to 97.46%, 96.44%, 97.97%, 98.73% and 99.24%, respectively, and all items increased significantly (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The empathy between medical staff and blood donors as well as the lack of humanistic care during the blood collection nursing could be promoted by the application of narrative nursing, which is helpful for providing high-quality nursing service for blood donors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To learn the true experiences of clinical nursing leaders like the head of nursing department and head nurses of a hospital in their implementation and management of narrative care for reference in effective implementation. Methods This study used purposive sampling and snowball sampling of phenomenological research methods. 13 nursing managers were selected from 3 tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu and Hebei province for a semi-structure interview. The interview focused on implementation of such care. Results Following four themes emerged from original interview materials. Namely, the team building experience of narrative care (led by the hospital leader, the establishment of the nursing psychology committee, and the formation of the department narrative nursing team), nurse training of narrative care (phased training, test of learning effects, and qualifications of psychological counselors ), practical management of narrative care (encouragement first, and pressure as auxiliary means), and evaluation of nursing managers on the narrative care (active role, difficulties in implementation). Conclusions As an effective way of psychological nursing care, narrative nursing deserves nationwide application. Success of the application depends on emphasis and support of nursing managers who are expected to pay high attention and promote narrative nursing with teamwork power, so as to develop the narrative care ability of nurses.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the research hotspots of domestic narrative nursing and explore its related research trends which provide reference and guidance for its application and development in China.@*Methods@#Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, CBM and other databases were retrieved from inception until October 2018. Word frequency analysis and graph cluster analysis were performed on the main information using Excel, Bicomb, Ucinet, Netdraw and gCLUTO software.@*Results@#A total of 649 articles were included. The result of visual analysis showed that the annual amount of publications showed an upward trend. The articles distributed abroad in many different journals which educational journals account mostly. The study regions were distributed in 34 provinces except Taiwan of China, Hainan, Tibet, and Macao Special Administrative Regions where mainly concentrated on East China and North China. The cooperation among authors and institutions both were not close; A total of 25 high-frequency key words were intercepted,and three hotspots of narrative nursing research in China were obtained,which respectively were: (1) The application of narrative medicine and the cultivation of narrative ability; (2) The application research of narrative therapy in humanistic care; (3) The application of narrative nursing in nursing practice.@*Conclusions@#Narrative nursing has attracted the attention of domestic scholars, but the depth and breadth of research still need to be improved. It is necessary to strengthen cooperation between inter-regional institutions, individuals and scientific research groups and pay attention to research hotspots in this field. Also,there is a need to conduct more high quality studies to verify the significance of narrative nursing.
