Summary
Narrative pedagogy, an approach using lived experiences, enhances nurses' skills for complex care. This method shows promise in improving care for hospitalized older adults, particularly those at risk for acute confusional states.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Healthcare Professional Development
Context:
- Nurses require diverse knowledge and skills to manage complex patient needs, especially those with chronic illnesses facing hospitalization risks.
- Traditional educational models may not fully equip nurses for evolving patient care demands.
- The need for effective continuing professional development (CPD) in nursing is critical.
Purpose:
- To advocate for narrative pedagogy as a suitable educational approach for nurses' continuing professional development.
- To explore how narrative pedagogy aligns with socio-constructivist and humanist learning theories.
- To present findings from a pilot study testing narrative pedagogy with nurses caring for at-risk older adults.
Summary:
- Narrative pedagogy utilizes the sharing of lived experiences from nurses, patients, and families to cultivate essential skills like active listening, interpretation, questioning, and openness to different perspectives.
- This approach is grounded in nursing science research and aligns with socio-constructivist and humanist educational philosophies.
- A pilot study involving nurses caring for hospitalized older adults at risk for acute confusional states indicated that narrative pedagogy is a promising educational strategy.
Impact:
- Narrative pedagogy can enhance nurses' ability to provide nuanced care for individuals with complex health needs.
- This approach offers a framework for educators to tailor continuing nursing education to align with nurses' existing knowledge and the dynamic needs of care recipients.
- Wider adoption of narrative pedagogy in clinical settings could lead to improved patient outcomes and more responsive nursing practice.

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
