Life ‐story work in long‐term care facilities for older people: An integrative review

ConclusionThe review extends the current evidence on the experience of using life ‐story work in long‐term aged care facilities for older people. Life‐story work has the potential to enhance person centred care in long‐term care. However, improving the process of implementation of life story work will require education, time and resources and a commitment from service pro viders and managers.Relevance to clinical practiceStaff who undertake life ‐story work with residents need to be equipped with the skills to recognise and manage the challenges and issues that may potentially arise.
