Storyboarding used as an aid to explore grief

Abstract

Yvonne Dexter, writing in Nursing Children and Young People, discusses the use of storyboarding and its use as a reflective practice aid. As children’s nurses are among the child health professionals most directly affected by childhood death, storyboarding can provide nursing students with a safe environment to reflect on their feelings about the death of a child. Ms Dexter considers the potential for its use in practice, for example in clinical supervision and classroom settings, to manage grief.
