Theoretical and conceptual development of narrative inquiry and narrative care (for older adults)
The project is a collaboration between Bodil H. Blix (UiT), Dr. Charlotte Berendonk, professor emerita D. Jean Clandinin and professor Vera Caine (University of Victoria, Canada).
We aim to further develop the concept of narrative care and its theoretical foundations. An intervention for narrative care for older adults in nursing homes has been developed as part of the project.
Several co-authors are affiliated with the project.
