The effects of narrative care combined with life review on psychological distress, meaning in life, and quality of life in advanced cancer patients receiving hospice care: a randomized clinical trial

Narrative nursing combined with life review can effectively alleviate the psychological suffering, increase the sense of meaning of life to a certain extent, and improve the quality of survival among patients with advanced cancer. It is recommended to incorporate it into routine hospice care practice, through structured life review guidance, to help patients affirm their self-worth and enhance their dignity and calm at the end of life.
