Abstract:
Supported by the theory of narrative medicine， this study focused on specific practical paths for embedding medical social work into the doctor-patient community with a shared future. It adopted an action research method to conduct an empirical exploration in the Department of Hematology and Oncology of Hospital M. Based on demand investigation， medical social workers stimulated the willingness of doctors and patients to express themselves through progressive narrative guidance. They also relied on carriers such as life story sharing sessions and parallel medical record writing to realize the reconstruction of the meaning of illness， and built venues for narrative sharing through the renovation of physical spaces and the construction of online platforms. On this basis， a multi-stakeholder mechanism with coordinated goals， roles， and procedures was established， effectively improving patient satisfaction， family care capacity， and the efficiency of interdisciplinary collaboration. This study provided a practical paradigm for narrative medicine to empower medical social work and promote the doctor-patient relationship from technical cooperation to emotional coexistence， possessing certain reference value for building harmonious doctor-patient relations in the new era.
