“…[28,64,67,68,71,72,74] The Humanities literature revealed five major themes: 1) the therapeutic aspect of story; 2) sense-making and story; 3) storytelling as a potential counter to the normative; 4) the interplay between the storyteller and listener; and 5) storytelling as a potential to promote culture change. [27,[77][78][79] Storytelling promotes humanism through interplay between the teller and the listener with benefits for the listener or receiver of the story. [79] The second theme conceptualized storytelling as a communication tool promoting sense-making amidst increasingly complex human interactions such as culture, organizations, and social movements.…”

Objective: Healthcare organizations are increasingly engaging the voice of patients and families through storytelling initiatives in hopes that this will yield compassionate and humanistic outcomes. To date, very little research is available that directly guides and justifies storytelling initiatives as a mechanism for promoting humanistic culture shifts in healthcare. This review aimed to uncover diverse research and evidence on how storytelling can be utilized to promote humanistic shifts in healthcare organizations. Methods: A meta-narrative review and analysis was undertaken including qualitative, quantitative, theoretical, and conceptual papers. Searches were restricted to English Language journals, and no time frame restrictions were made. A literature assessment form was created to guide the review using a consistent taxonomy to appraise each paper. Analysis was done in two-stages: firstly, identifying emergent themes within each research discipline; secondly, comparing and contrasting themes from the different disciplines. Results: A total of 115 papers were identified for review resulting from the literature review protocol. Eighty-three papers were included in the final review: 48 papers from Healthcare/Medicine combined, 28 from Business, 14 from Education, 5 from Organizational Development and 19 from Humanities (inclusive of Psychology and Communications). There were three key findings: 1) Storytelling promotes sense-making while also perpetuating bias; 2) Stories are uniquely primed to elicit empathy and compassion; 3) Story listening and how stories are interacted with by the listener are key considerations for organizations aiming to shift culture. Conclusions: This review solidifies storytelling as a mechanism suited to furthering humanistic practices in healthcare while contributing new knowledge in support of developing policies, strategies and research initiatives that account for how stories are understood and the processes that encourage reflection and interaction by listeners.

“…Whilst the possibility of psychological trauma has been discussed in the earlier sections of the paper as a potential challenge, evidence has supported the positive effects of interviewing these key informants (Lepore, Ragan, & Jones, ). Through the study team's active listening of their lived experience, participants may experience relief and release from their emotions and burden (Block & Leseho, ). Hence, while challenges in this planned qualitative study may exist, this study presents an excellent opportunity to shed light into the lived experiences in the intensive care unit during medical emergencies where patient safety hangs by the thread and are dependent on a highly skilled and cohesive interprofessional team.…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of interprofessional collaboration among nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists during medical emergencies in the intensive care unit. Design: Descriptive phenomenological study.Method: Participants will be recruited through purposive sampling with maximum variation across the ICUs in a tertiary hospital in Singapore. Guided by data saturation, data collection will include individual semi-structured interviews with ICU nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapist who have attended to medical emergencies such as cardiopulmonary arrest or difficult airway management in the ICUs. Interviews will be audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed via Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenology method.Discussion: Whilst interprofessional collaboration remains a major interest among nursing research, there is a paucity of evidence surrounding interprofessional collaboration in the specific context of medical emergencies in the ICUs. This is especially crucial as the failure of interprofessional collaboration during medical emergencies can be catastrophic to patient safety. Hence, this study will adopt a qualitative approach to contribute to the evidence base surrounding this lesser known phenomenon. The findings generated from this study will inform future team training initiatives, advance nursing leadership initiatives, and identify barriers and facilitators towards fostering greater interprofessional collaboration during medical emergencies. Impact:The evidence gained from this study contributes to the limited knowledge base of interprofessional collaboration during medical emergencies. Findings will have vast impact on nursing and interprofessional programs such as crisis leadership and management. The findings could also inform practice frameworks during medical emergencies to support interprofessional collaboration and optimize patient care.

“…| 211 stories can help the participants to get a sense of relief (Leseho & Block, 2005) and to make sense of the experience (Carlick & Biley, 2004). It could also give the participant a sense of empowerment and of purpose, by contributing to the scope of the research (Beck, 2005;East et al, 2010;Peters, Jackson, & Rudge, 2008).…”
