Abstract:
This paper explores the intersection and integration of narrative medicine and clinical spiritual care,especially the importance and value of spiritual narrative in medical services.Spiritual narrative is based on the three elements of narrative medicine,combined with the professional competence of clinical spiritual care,to achieve multi-angle attention to patients'physiology,psychology,society,and spirit.The connections and situations between individuals in the disease story are reproduced in the spiritual narrative,allowing the narrator to deeply understand the relationship between themselves,others,and natural events from a more diverse perspective,thereby enhancing the role identity and professional happiness of doctors,and ultimately promoting the narrator's exploration of their own inner selves and understanding of life philosophy.Integrating narrative medicine into undergraduate teaching,research,and clinical practice of the clinical spiritual care program at Hunan Cancer Hospital,conducting spiritual narrative,is of great significance for improving the empathy and communication skills of medical students and clinical medical staff,promoting their thinking and understanding of the meaning of life,and enhancing their patient-centered clinical critical thinking ability.
