Anci...In the realm of Chinese narrative medicine, narrative thinking holds equal significance to evidence-based thinking within clinical practice, making substantial contributions to patient safety and medical quality. Ancient Chinese medical theories advocate forging a narrative bond with patients, urging healthcare practitioners to utilize Dao Shu Jie He(道术结合 integration of Dao and techniques) and Yi Dao Yu Shu(以道驭术 guiding techniques with Dao) during diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. In this context, Dao(道) in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) corresponds to narrative thinking(叙事思维) while Shu(术) aligns with scientific thinking(科学思维) in evidence-based medicine. This study adopts “narrative Chinese medicine” within the “discourse system of Chinese narrative medicine” as its framework, centering on medical stories that exemplify the application of narrative thinking in ancient Chinese diagnosis and treatment. It delves into the narrative thinking encapsulated in Chinese medicine, such as Guan Wu Qu Xiang(观物取象 observing things and extracting information), Can He Er Xing(参合而行 final examination and decision by integrating the four diagnoses), Xing Shen Bing Zhi(形神并治 body-spirit treatment), Xin Shen Jian Li(心身兼理 mind-body balance) and Bian Zheng Lun Zhi(辨证论治 treatment based on pattern differentiation). The study endeavors to inspire contemporary medical educators and clinicians to acknowledge the value of narrative thinking in TCM and fully incorporate it into daily medical practice.展开更多

文摘Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing combined with positive reinforcement nursing intervention on the psychological state of patients with gynecological cancer chemotherapy.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2023,99 cancer patients with postoperative chemotherapy admitted to the Department of Gynecology in the author’s ClassⅲGrade A hospital were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the control group(49 cases)and the observation group(50 cases)by random number method.The control group was intervened by the nursing model based on positive reinforcement theory,while the observation group received narrative nursing intervention measures on this basis.The self-rating Anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),distress thermometer(DT),Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),and General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)were used to evaluate and compare the changes of various indicators between the two groups after intervention.Results:There were no significant differences in the scores of SAS,SDS,DT,PSQI,and GSES between the two groups at the time of intervention(P>0.05).After chemotherapy,the SAS,SDS,and DT scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05),and the PSQI and GSES scores were significantly better than those of the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Compared with the simple positive reinforcement nursing model,narrative nursing combined with positive reinforcement nursing intervention has more advantages in improving the mental health status of patients with gynecological cancer chemotherapy.It can significantly relieve the negative emotions,such as anxiety and depression of patients,effectively improve their self-efficacy level,optimize their sleep quality,and provide more comprehensive support for the physical and mental rehabilitation of patients.
文摘This study examines the narrative interplay between Chinese and Australian cinemas,focusing on how Chinese cinematic forms-such as cyclical storytelling,mythological motifs,and magical realism-are influencing and reshaping contemporary Australian storytelling traditions.Through a comparative qualitative methodology,the research analyzes selected films,screenwriting practices,critical essays,and industry reports to identify key narrative structures,thematic patterns,and cultural dynamics across the two national cinemas.Findings reveal significant contrasts between the cyclical,mythologically rooted,and symbolically layered narratives characteristic of Chinese cinema and the traditionally linear,realist frameworks dominant in Australian filmmaking.However,increasing cultural exchange,co-productions,and multicultural influences have prompted Australian filmmakers to experiment with non-linear structures,mythic elements,and more complex representations of identity.The study contributes to cross-cultural film scholarship by proposing integrated analytical frameworks that highlight hybrid narrative forms and by offering practical implications for future Sino-Australian collaboration.These findings underscore the evolving global landscape of film narratives and the growing relevance of culturally adaptive storytelling strategies.
文摘Narrative nursing(NN)is emerging as a critical approach in modern healthcare,addressing the complex interplay between psychological well-being and physical recovery.This manuscript discusses a study on NN and its role in alleviating psychological distress in patients with acute pancreatitis,published in the World Journal of Psychiatry.Their research demonstrates that NN,through structured storytelling,significantly reduces anxiety and depression,thereby enhancing patient satisfaction and fostering emotional resilience.This therapeutic approach extends beyond symptom management,offering a comprehensive strategy that supports the mental and emotional recovery of patients facing severe health challenges.NN provides a unique framework for engaging patients in their care journey,promoting a sense of agency,and strengthening the patient-provider relationship.In this manuscript,we explore the broader implications of NN by synthesizing findings from various studies,showing that NN is effective not only in acute settings but also in oncology,chronic illness management,and palliative care.The evidence indicates that integrating NN into standard clinical practice could enhance healthcare outcomes by addressing the holistic needs of patients,supporting psychological resilience,and fostering a compassionate healthcare environment.
文摘University German majors in Chinese universities constitute a vital force in cross-cultural communication and play an increasingly important role in effectively communicating China’s narrative to global audiences.Despite their linguistic advantages,these students still face challenges such as limited cultural literacy and insufficient intercultural communication competence.It is therefore essential to explore effective approaches for strengthening their ability to convey China’s narrative in accurate,compelling,and culturally attuned ways.This article discusses key pathways for enhancing this competence and offers insights relevant to curriculum development and talent cultivation in the field of international communication.
文摘This study examines the bidirectional shaping mechanism between short-video algorithms and film narratives within the attention economy.It investigates how algorithmic logic influences cinematic storytelling and how films,in turn,contribute to the aesthetic enhancement of short-video content.Drawing on Communication Accommodation Theory and Berry’s Acculturation Theory,along with case analyses and industry data,this research demonstrates that algorithms push films toward high-stimulus,fast-paced narrative patterns—characterized by increased shot density and structural fragmentation—to capture and retain viewer attention.Conversely,films counter this influence by supplying narratively deep and artistically refined content that elevates short-video aesthetics and encourages critical audience engagement.This dynamic reflects a process of mutual adaptation rather than one-sided dominance.The study concludes that such interaction signifies a broader restructuring of cultural production logic,facilitating cross-media convergence while simultaneously posing risks to cultural diversity due to the prioritization of high-traffic content.Balancing this relationship will require policy support,algorithmic transparency,and strengthened industry self-regulation to preserve artistic integrity and cultural ecosystem diversity.

文摘In the realm of Chinese narrative medicine, narrative thinking holds equal significance to evidence-based thinking within clinical practice, making substantial contributions to patient safety and medical quality. Ancient Chinese medical theories advocate forging a narrative bond with patients, urging healthcare practitioners to utilize Dao Shu Jie He(道术结合 integration of Dao and techniques) and Yi Dao Yu Shu(以道驭术 guiding techniques with Dao) during diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. In this context, Dao(道) in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) corresponds to narrative thinking(叙事思维) while Shu(术) aligns with scientific thinking(科学思维) in evidence-based medicine. This study adopts “narrative Chinese medicine” within the “discourse system of Chinese narrative medicine” as its framework, centering on medical stories that exemplify the application of narrative thinking in ancient Chinese diagnosis and treatment. It delves into the narrative thinking encapsulated in Chinese medicine, such as Guan Wu Qu Xiang(观物取象 observing things and extracting information), Can He Er Xing(参合而行 final examination and decision by integrating the four diagnoses), Xing Shen Bing Zhi(形神并治 body-spirit treatment), Xin Shen Jian Li(心身兼理 mind-body balance) and Bian Zheng Lun Zhi(辨证论治 treatment based on pattern differentiation). The study endeavors to inspire contemporary medical educators and clinicians to acknowledge the value of narrative thinking in TCM and fully incorporate it into daily medical practice.
