“…The patient narratives contained on the CDC website and in the film Take Your Pills are in line with recent studies that stress the role of “storytelling” in addiction prevention [ 91 ]. These studies stress that addiction can be seen not only as a health problem, but also as a social problem [ 91 ]. This view can be applied to the use of narratives in the opioid epidemic and the use of narratives by the CDC and the documentary.…”

“…This view can be applied to the use of narratives in the opioid epidemic and the use of narratives by the CDC and the documentary. Patient narratives reveal underlying patterns about consumption patterns [ 91 ] and social conditions, which may lead to such patterns. As these studies show, a biological perspective on opioid addiction and a narrative approach can be mutually complementary [ 92 ].…”

Opioid abuse and misuse have led to an epidemic which is currently spreading worldwide. Since the number of opioid overdoses is still increasing, it is becoming obvious that current rather unsystematic approaches to tackle this health problem are not effective. This review suggests that fighting the opioid epidemic requires a structured public health approach. Therefore, it is important to consider not only scientific and biomedical perspectives, but societal implications and the lived experience of groups at risk as well. Hence, this review evaluates the risk factors associated with opioid overdoses and investigates the rates of chronic opioid misuse, particularly in the context of chronic pain as well as post-surgery treatments, as the entrance of opioids in people’s lives. Linking pharmaceutical biology to narrative analysis is essential to understand the modulations of the usual themes of addiction and abuse present in the opioid crisis. This paper shows that patient narratives can be an important resource in understanding the complexity of opioid abuse and addiction. In particular, the relationship between chronic pain and social inequality must be considered. The main goal of this review is to demonstrate how a deeper transdisciplinary-enriched understanding can lead to more precise strategies of prevention or treatment of opioid abuse.

“…La secuencia de conductas que mostraba dicha transición se guionizó según el modelo transteórico para el cambio de conducta (Prochaska et al, 1997). También se adoptó una perspectiva de género que favoreció la contextualización de esta conducta de transición en función de los factores de riesgo y protección característicos de cada género (Herrera-Sánchez et al, 2019). Ambos relatos seguían la misma secuencia causal y temporal de los acontecimientos siguiendo el modelo transteórico para el cambio de conducta (Prochaska et al, 1997), sin embargo, se utilizó una voz narrativa diferente.…”

Los efectos persuasivos de las narrativas se han estudiado en diferentes ámbitos. Uno de los mecanismos más estudiados ha sido el contraargumento desde un enfoque cognitivo o metacognitivo. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la resistencia a la persuasión en un contexto interpersonal para conocer cómo los/as jóvenes generan argumentos ante mensajes persuasivos narrativos para la prevención del consumo de cannabis. Se organizaron dos grupos focales por género de 6 estudiantes cada uno entre 16 y 20 años (n=24) que participaron en un debate tras ver un vídeo donde el personaje mostraba una transición desde el inicio del consumo de cannabis hasta su abandono. El análisis cualitativo permitió encontrar una categoría central “responder a la persuasión narrativa”, con cuatro estilos de respuestas: a) elaboración; b) contraargumentación; c) reelaboración; y d) refutación. Para apoyar estas respuestas, los/as participantes introdujeron elementos narrativos referidos a experiencias personales o de otras personas, así como elementos inferenciales al introducir nuevas cuestiones en la discusión; también se identificaron los esquemas argumentativos que se utilizaron para justificar las diferentes posiciones adoptadas. El estudio tiene implicaciones teórico-prácticas en aquellas investigaciones e intervenciones que usen la persuasión narrativa como herramienta para la prevención del uso del cannabis en jóvenes

BackgroundMost feedback received by health services is positive. Our systematic scoping review mapped all available empirical evidence for how positive patient feedback creates healthcare change. Most included papers did not provide specific details on positive feedback characteristics.ObjectivesDescribe positive feedback characteristics by (1) developing heuristics for identifying positive feedback; (2) sharing annotated feedback examples; (3) describing their positive content.Methods200 items were selected from two contrasting databases: (1)https://careopinion.org.uk/; (2) National Health Service (NHS) Friends and Family Test data collected by an NHS trust. Preliminary heuristics and positive feedback categories were developed from a small convenience sample, and iteratively refined.ResultsCategories were identified: positive-only; mixed; narrative; factual; grateful. We propose a typology describing tone (positive-only, mixed), form (factual, narrative) and intent (grateful). Separating positive and negative elements in mixed feedback was sometimes impossible due to ambiguity. Narrative feedback often described the cumulative impact of interactions with healthcare providers, healthcare professionals, influential individuals and community organisations. Grateful feedback was targeted at individual staff or entire units, but the target was sometimes ambiguous.ConclusionPeople commissioning feedback collection systems should consider mechanisms to maximise utility by limiting ambiguity. Since being enabled to provide narrative feedback can allow contributors to make contextualised statements about what worked for them and why, then there may be trade-offs to negotiate between limiting ambiguity, and encouraging rich narratives. Groups tasked with using feedback should plan the human resources needed for careful inspection, and consider providing narrative analysis training.
