Time Geography, a Method in Psychiatric Nursing Care.

Time Geography, a Method in Psychiatric Nursing Care. Issues Ment Health Nurs. 2020 Jun 25;:1-7 Authors: Sunnqvist C, Rämgård M, Örmon K Abstract Patients' life history is of primary interest in psychiatric nursing care. Our aim was to illustrate how we used time geography as a method to identify individuals' patterns in relation to certain situations in place. We have used interviews and diaries to construct life charts by hand and with a computer software program. By using time geography, we provide a rich amount of information, which can generate a broader picture of a person's life, to identify stressful as well as social aspects of a person's life. Patients with mental ill health need and value the therapeutic relationship using time geography. PMID: 32585121 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
