1University of Calgary Faculty of Graduate Studies/Nursing Master of Nursing Program.
A creative application of a patient's health/illness situation is derived from a patient interview, to illustrate the patterned human responses that represent the phenomena of interest to nursing. The patient's story is described from a biopsychosocial perspective that encompasses the nursing phenomena of health: chronicity; stress and coping; attachment; power and control; hope; uncertainty; and caring. An analysis delineates the opportunity for advanced practitioners to learn from their patient's stories about the lived experience of health, derive a deeper understanding of nursing knowledge, and gain an appreciation for the accuracy of findings in nursing research.
