Abstract

The study investigates story-telling in naturally-occurring interactions in a care home for older people with dementia in England. Stories were told by a range of discourse participants and varied from more relationally-oriented anecdotes occurring as part of small talk to more transactionally-oriented narratives embedded into work routines. The main aim of the study was to explore narratives as social practice in the interactions of the care staff and to discover what functions they perform in their workplace practice and more generally in that of the care home. The analysis focused principally on two primarily work-oriented narrative types: “working stories” and “narratives of professional practice”. The findings were that such stories performed a range of key functions in the professional practice of the care givers, in particular problem-solving, knowledge-sharing and critical evaluation.

简短互动中的小故事

这项研究调查了英国一家老年痴呆症护理院中自然发生的互动中的故事讲述。故事由一系列话语参与者讲述，从作为闲聊的一部分出现的更具关系导向的轶事到嵌入日常工作中的更具交易导向的叙事。该研究的主要目的是探索叙事作为护理人员互动中的社会实践，并发现他们在工作场所实践中以及更普遍的护理院实践中履行的职能。分析主要集中在两种主要以工作为导向的叙事类型上：“工作故事”和“职业实践叙事”。研究结果表明，这些故事在护理人员的专业实践中发挥了一系列关键作用，特别是解决问题、分享知识和批判性评估。

期刊介绍： Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
