Narrative Medicine: theory, clinical practice and education – a scoping review
An important article entitled “Narrative Medicine: theory, clinical practice and education – a scoping review” by Ilaria Palla, Giuseppe Turchetti and Stefania Polvani, who for years was president of SIMeN (Società Italiana di Medicina Narrativa), has recently been published in the BMC Health Services Research magazine.
The authors have mapped and analyzed all published studies related to theory, clinical practice and education in Narrative Medicine.
The paper, through a focus on Italy and the United States, or the countries in which MN is most developed, reveals the possibility of future projects in which to measure Narrative Medicine according to an approach that integrates training and clinical practice.
