The impact of a narrative interview intervention in oncology. A study protocol for a feasibility study

摘要

Oncological diagnosis determines a biographical breakdown and requires the person to adapt to the disease. If patients, after diagnosis, ask professionals for ‘compassionate care’, research on these issues is still underdeveloped. There are currently no studies that use the narrative interview as an intervention tool. The objectives of the study are to evaluate: (1) the feasibility of the narrative interview intervention on cancer patients in the first diagnosis; (2) the impact of the narrative medicine intervention on the patient’s self-perception, his psychological distress and adaptation to the disease.
