Use of storytelling to decrease stress

Abstract

Nursing the sick and dying can be stressful. Stress-reducing interventions have the possibility to create positive emotional health. Storytelling, a cost-effective intervention to decrease stress, is a verbal recount of similar meaningful experiences that individuals share. Storytelling allows for stress management, providing opportunity to discuss concerns, simultaneously supporting nurse peers.
