Patient-Centered Narrative Interviewing in Primary Care

Mehr zum Buch

In an era of health care reform, the book explores the impact of integrating patients' narratives into clinical practice. It details a pilot program where nurses trained in patient-centered narrative interviewing gathered insights from challenging patients. This approach aimed to enhance communication and understanding between patients and primary care clinicians (PCCs). The study assessed whether the new information influenced PCCs' clinical decisions and reduced their frustration, ultimately advocating for a shift towards a more holistic, patient-focused healthcare model.
