- Personal narratives about death and dying: a case study with nursing studentsPublication . Laranjeira, Carlos; Afonso, Catarina; Querido, AnaThis study aimed to qualitatively explore students' meanings of a significant death or dying experience described in the first-person: psycho-emotional and spiritual life reflections. Using a narrative-reflection approach, we performed a multiple case study. Ten nursing students from a 3 rd-year palliative nursing course were selected based on the richness of their experiences. Topics such as the timing of the loss, the manner of death, role changes after the loss, and adjustment patterns were discussed. The role of the narrative is clearly multi faceted – contributing to the development of a student's identity, providing comfort, and helping to make sense of a 'senseless' event.
