In the last thirty years, illness narratives have not only been used as research data linking subjective suffering with medical practice, identities, social meanings, and cultural significance, but their use has also spread to practical purposes in different areas, thus widening the scope of narrative medicine. This chapter discusses why this change needs a critical reflection. It presents the richness and chances of illness narratives as well as the epistemological, methodological, and methodical problems which arise when their narratological properties are neglected. The chapter provides an overview of the book and discusses methodological and epistemological challenges, ethical and communicational aspects, and narratives in psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and vocational training, training of students and medical staff, diagnostics, decision-making, health care, and in the media.

The attention to illness narratives echoes the narrative turn in the humanities. This chapter explores the implications of counselling and confronts the narrative medicine approach with the correlated, yet distinct, concept of narrative ethics. It considers ethics standards of counselling and, more specifically, models of decision-making that counsellors use as orientation and ethical guidelines. Narrative ethics is one way to bridge the experiences and value the moral norms that govern decision making. This chapter explores ways to integrate a narrative ethics approach as part of ethical counselling to ensure that both individual experiences and the normative dimensions of actions are included in the conversations. While non-directive counselling emphasizes the moral agency of the individual and calls for the respect of the client concerning their choices, the introduced model of decision making is better equipped to attend to the ethical dimension of counselling.

Objective: Well-designed evidence-based resources that reflect participant experiences and priorities are imperative for informed consumer health decision-making and to combat the pervasive health misinformation existing today. Qualitative research data can inform the development of such resources, but the process of reconciling qualitative research data with other sources of evidence through co-design processes is not well described in the literature. In response to the need for such evidence-based materials and corresponding methodological guidance, we co-designed a series of video resources through transdisciplinary and community partnership. In this manuscript, we provide methodological insight into the process of collaborative co-design to improve the utilization of qualitative research evidence into evidence-based resources for the public. Methods: Following from a large qualitative research study, we engaged in a collaborative and creative co-design process involving a multi-stakeholder advisory group guided by Boyd’s co-design framework. We explicate this process, drawing from a case exemplar of transdisciplinary frailty research. Results: We utilized thematic qualitative data to co-produce: (i) an animation, (ii) a documentary-style video, (iii) a video vignette with key messages embedded in narratives of older adults, and (iv) a key-message video delivered by academic health researchers and clinicians. Discussion: The integration of experiential evidence of health care consumers with other sources of research evidence through co-design is an epistemological and procedural challenge with potential to improve public awareness, knowledge, and to support evidence-based decision making.

The Way

AbstractIt is widely recognised that accessing and processing medical information in libraries and patient records is a burden beyond the capacities of the physician’s unaided mind in the conditions of medical practice. Physicians are quite capable of tremendous intellectual feats but cannot possibly do it all. The way ahead requires the development of a framework in which the brilliant pieces of understanding are routinely assembled into a working unit of social machinery that is coherent and as error free as possible – a challenge in which we ourselves are among the working parts to be organized and brought under control.Such a framework of intellectual rigor and discipline in the practice of medicine can only be achieved if knowledge is embedded in tools; the system requiring the routine use of those tools in all decision making by both providers and patients.

Accurate Reflection

Medical practice and the disease model importantly rely on the accuracy assumption of symptom perception: patients’ symptom reports are a direct and accurate reflection of physiological dysfunction. This implies that symptoms can be used as a read-out of dysfunction and that remedying the dysfunction removes the symptoms. While this assumption is viable in many instances of disease, the relationship between symptoms and physiological dysfunction is highly variable and, in a substantial number of cases, completely absent. This chapter considers symptom perception as a form of unconscious inferential somatic decision-making that compellingly produces consciously experienced symptoms. At a mechanistic level, this perspective removes the categorical distinction between symptoms that are closely associated with physiological dysfunction and those that are not. In addition, it brings symptom perception in accordance with general theories of perception. Some clinical implications to understand and treat symptoms poorly related to physiological dysfunction are discussed.
