Abstract：Objective By learning about the basic situation of narrative cognition among medical workers,medical educators and others,and analyzing its influencing factors,it's hoped that a reference and theoretical basis can be provided to improve the narrative cognition ability of medical workers and others.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 280 medical workers and medical educators,etc.in Henan Province as the research subjects,and the survey was conducted through the general information questionnaire and the narrative cognitive ability scale.Results Multiple response frequency analysis indicates that the concepts of narrative and narrative medicine are the most frequently mentioned and applied concepts.The total score for narrative cognitive ability is(77.58±11.86);there is a significant positive correlation between the dimensions of life health narrative awareness and professional narrative thinking;the results of univariate analysis show that there are statistically significant differences(P<0.05)when comparing the total score of medical narrative ability based on gender,age,and whether the hospital or medical institution has established a narrative center.Conclusion The narrative cognitive ability of medical workers is at a good level,but from the results of frequency analysis,most of the research subjects have never heard of narrative medicine,indicating that there is still a lot of room for development,and narrative medicine education should be strengthened to improve narrative cognitive ability.In addition,it is necessary to pay attention to the synergy between professional narrative thinking and life and health narrative awareness,so as to comprehensively improve the narrative cognitive ability of medical workers.
