Patients’ Experiences of Interprofessional Care: A Narrative Inquiry

Aksenchuk, Kateryna

“…As a qualitative inquiry method, Narrative Inquiry is now increasingly used within contemporary health research (Aksenchuk, 2013;Gaudite, 2015;Kruczek, 2016;Lindsay & Schwind, 2016;Manankil-Rankin, 2015;Sharma, 2015;Thavakugathasalingam, 2016;Walji, 2014). It is emergent in nature, offering the opportunity to explore stories (lived experiences) from three commonplaces (temporality, sociality, and place), using four directions (backward, forward, inward, and outward), and three justifications (personal, practical, and social) (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000).…”

In an increasingly demanding environment like healthcare, nurses may often be meeting their professional responsibilities at the expense of their personal needs. Existing research shows the benefits of engaging in experiential learning, such as reflective practices. By using reflective practices, nurses can reveal challenges in the workplace that affect their professional performance, opening discussion for how these could be mitigated. By engaging in a self-study, using Connelly and Clandinin’s Narrative Inquiry, I explore the mutually informing nature of personal and professional formation. I tell personal stories of my childhood and professional stories of my time as a nursing student, new graduate and current practitioner. Using the analytical framework of Narrative Inquiry, I identify two narrative patterns (vulnerability and belonging) in my lived and told stories. I highlight how social interactions influence our personal and professional identities, and how this understanding offers development opportunities to benefit the nurse-client relationship and society.

“…Narrative re-presentations appear in a wide variety of formats and styles, unique to each individual inquiry. Some inquirers choose to re-present narratives using linguistic form, such as poetry (Aksenchuk, S., 2020;Manankil-Rankin, 2015;Thavakugathasalingam, 2016) or letters to relevant social groups (Aksenchuk, K., 2013;Gough, 2019;Kwok, 2017;Sharma, 2015;Thavakugathasalingam, 2016). Inquirers may also create more abstract and metaphorical representations, with original art such as paintings (Gaudite, 2015) and drawings (Walji, 2014), collage or digital narratives (Schwind, 2012).…”

“…NRP includes storytelling, metaphor, drawing, creative writing, and reflective dialogue (Schwind, 2008, Schwind & Manankil-Rankin, 2020. The application of NRP in the work of some of Schwind's graduate students demonstrates the potential of Arts-Informed Narrative Inquiry to examine complex and emotionally difficult experiences (Aksenchuk, K., 2013;Aksenchuk, S., 2020;Gaudite, 2015;Kwok, 2017;Sharma, 2015;Thavakugathasalingam 2016;Walji, 2014).…”

Canadian women usually have their first pelvic exam by the age of twenty-one, and then every three years until older adulthood. Reviewed literature demonstrates that women's first pelvic exam experiences are a turning point in their healthcare trajectory. Yet, no research was found that addresses these experiences as told by women in their own words. Using Arts-Informed Narrative Inquiry, three young women were invited to tell and draw stories of their first pelvic exam experiences. From their accounts, two narrative patterns emerged, trust and voice. These were analyzed using the Narrative Inquiry three-dimensional space of experience theoretical framework, from a Critical Feminist perspective. The analysis reveals that women's first pelvic exam experiences inform their understanding of how healthcare providers, in positions of power, value and respect their personhood and dignity. These experiences go on to inform not only women’s future healthcare interactions, but other social encounters.
