Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Narrative Medicine
  • Patient Communication

Background:

  • Patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) often feel unheard during clinical visits.
  • Clinicians face efficiency pressures hindering patient-centered communication.
  • A need exists for concise patient storytelling methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a guided short-form journaling activity, the 55-word story.
  • To assess the impact of this activity on PwP's well-being and communication.
  • To determine the feasibility and enjoyability of the online journaling program.

Main Methods:

  • Three cohorts of 10-13 PwP participated in four weekly virtual meetings.
  • A facilitator trained in narrative medicine and movement disorders led sessions.
  • Participants engaged in a guided 55-word journaling activity.

Main Results:

  • 88.6% of participants reported improved relationships, communication, goal clarity, or community.
  • 91.4% intended to share their 55-word story with others.
  • The online journaling activity was feasible, enjoyable, and improved PwP well-being.

Conclusions:

  • The 55-word story is an effective tool for PwP to share their experiences.
  • This narrative medicine model enhances patient-clinician communication and patient well-being.
  • The program is adaptable for other institutions and chronic illnesses.
