A tale, according to middle range
theory, is a narrative that takes
place when individuals learn to
see themselves as being related
with others via conscious
discourse with a nurse about a
significant health concern.
In addition, this study implies that
this nurse-to-person interaction
has the potential to improve ease
as individuals find out methods to
resolve their problems.

The data gathering process was

guided by narrative theory, and
the results were analyzed using
Liehr and Smith's story inquiry
approach.
There were three themes that
 emerged from these experiences
of health issues that represented
the heart of what "matters most"
to participants: (a) living a
restricted existence; (b) balancing
independence and dependency;
and (c) contending with those
who are providing care.
Health-related techniques might
be seen of as a spectrum, with
"unhappy quiet acceptance" on
one extreme and "assertive
conduct meant to achieve your
goals" on the other.

When interviewing all of the
individuals who have played a
role in her life, we discovered
that the tales are being driven by
an ethical imperative that is
shared throughout her social
network, which we believe is
important.
Her self-identity must be
"curated," as we have
characterized it in the past.
In 'Curation,' the person living
with dementia is told "about"
her, "for" her, and perhaps "with"
her in exchanges that repeat and
reinforce her self-identity and her
sense of self.
We believe that the concept of
curation provides a means for
individuals, including study
participants, significant others,
and health-care professionals, to
think about living with dementia
in a new manner.
