Abstract
-
This qualitative study was done to illuminate the experience of the listener and the storyteller when a traumatic event is shared within the dyad. Nurses often care for their patients within the nurse--patient relationship that constitutes a dyad. Individuals who have experienced traumatic events may share their experience with nurses in story form. Repeatedly listening to these stories may have consequences for these nurses. Understanding the experience of both members of the listener--storyteller dyad can be valuable for nurses who are very often the listener for their patient storytellers. The research participants consisted of dyads; each with a storyteller and a listener. The storytellers were from a group of people involved in the crash-landing of a commercial jetliner that came to be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson." Each storyteller chose a listener who had previously listened to them share the story of this traumatic event. The author conducted an in-depth interview with each individual storyteller and listener. Interviewing both members of the dyad was a way to shed light on their experiences in a way that could not be done by interviewing only 1 individual. The phenomenon was explored using an interpretive phenomenological approach outlined by van Manen. The Roy Adaptation Model of Nursing (RAM) was found to be applicable to the findings of this study.;Keywords: Trauma, storytelling, listening, dyad, nursing, "Miracle on the Hudson"
