Jasna
Krmpotic Schwind RN, PhD
Dr
Schwind is an Associate Professor in the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing at
Ryerson University, Toronto, ON, Canada. Her program of research focuses on
reconstruction of experience within professional and therapeutic relationships
in education and practice. More specifically, using Narrative Inquiry, she explores the
humanness within person-centred care in education and practice, and how these impact the quality of person’s illness
experience.
To
this end she has adapted a form of narrative reflection she terms Narrative
Reflective Process (NRP), a creative self-expression strategy, which includes
storytelling, metaphor, drawing and creative writing. NRP may be used as both a
data collection strategy in research, as well as an implementation tool in
practice.
