Narrating positive versus negative memories of illness: Does narrating influence the emotional tone of memories?
No full textPsychoncological studies have recognised a reduced autobiographical memory in
cancer patients, furthermore cognitive studies have found that narrative is an effective
instrument to re-elaborate
memories. However, it is still unclear whether narrating
positive versus negative events can have a different impact on autobiographical
memory. The present study aims to explore the emotional experience of autobiographical
memory before and after having narrated negative or positive events
related to the illness. Of 63 oncological patients, 35 were selected for the present
study. Participants completed a Memory Fluency Task twice, before and after having
selected and narrated a positive (PN group) or a negative (NN group) memory
of illness. They also had to attribute one or more emotions to each memory and
to the narrative. The number of emotions and the percentage of emotional tones
in both narrated and non-narrated
memories were assessed. Narrated memories
were more emotionally re-elaborated
than non-narrated
ones. Negative group participants,
more than positive group ones, decreased negative emotions and increased
complex ones. Authors discuss these results claiming that narrating works as a
rehearsal of autobiographical memories in oncological patients and narrating negative
memories eases the emotional re-elaboration
of illnes

Exploring narratives to investigate doctor-patient relationship in the care path for genetic cardiomyopathies
No full textGenetic Cardiomyopathies are chronic diseases involving physical and psycho-social issues which imply the
need to involve the patient in care relationships with their doctors across all the life-span. For the present
study, consultations of 45 adult patients affected by cardiomyopathies (15 at their first consultation, 15 at
their 1-year follow up and 15 at 10-year follow-up) were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded considering
differences in doctors’ and patients’ roles in terms of word-count, type of questions and answers performed.
Results show that doctor narrative is prone to decrease from first consultation to both follow-ups (F(2,42)=
4.631; p=.01), with a lower level of anamnestic dialogue in follow-ups (F(2,42)= 4.055, p=.02). At the same
time, patients increase in follow-ups the number of questions to doctors (F(2,42)= 3.339, p=.04). The first consultation
acquires the meaning of a diagnostic meeting in which doctors narrate and ask more, preferring an
anamnestic script characterized by sequence of new questions. In this scenario, patients don’t find the space
to ask their doctors for explanations or clarifications. Follow-up visits, on the other hand, allow the patient
the opportunity to narrate their illness experience, acquiring an active role in care relationship
