Unfolding Narratives

Adaptable, evidence-based educational resources using performing arts and new technologies, co-created with healthcare and arts professionals, to enhance nursing education at Western Sydney University.
The relationship the nurse builds with anyone in their care is at the heart of nursing practice. This requires the nurse to develop ‘soft skills’ that ensure they can communicate with empathy and compassion. However, this may be even more difficult if the nurse is building a relationship with a person experiencing distress because they have been diagnosed with a mental illness, cognitive impairment, or a person in crisis.
It is important to teach nurses at the beginning of their career to take a person-centred view that enables them to look beyond the behaviour and really listen to the person so that the nurse can understand who the person is and what their needs are.

护理人员与照护对象建立的关系是护理实践的核心要义。这要求护理人员培育“软技能”，以确保其能够以共情与悲悯之心开展沟通。然而，当护理人员需要与因罹患精神疾病、认知障碍或身处危机而承受痛苦的对象建立关系时，此项工作往往更具挑战性。
在护理人员职业生涯初期便向其传授以人为本的照护理念，使其能够透过行为表象真正倾听照护对象的心声，从而理解其个体身份与真实需求，这一点至关重要。
