Dear participants, Welcome to the forum on module 7. This space is meant to give you the possibility to share your opinion with the other participants.
The validation module is developed for health care professionals to validate the knowledge, skills and competencies in the domain of narrative medicine and health care pedagogy.
First of all, I'ld like to thanks Sabrina Grigolo, Marco Cerutti for the high level professional towards all the partecipants and for the high scientific contents.Thanks for the extensive bibliography transmitted, as well. I'm a psychologist and I believe in the cure of the word. The patient and relatives' words are very important for to create alliance and confidence in the medical. It seems take plenty of time to take care of the cure of the "persons'words:it's a valuable investment. Talete said: we have two ears, two eyes and one mouth: patient is an active person who need and want to be listened to: I'm deeply in agreement with their and the Heppy project too.
Thanks to Dr. Vilma Duretto for her too kind words and to all the health carers, the professionals and the teachers involved into the HEPPY project.
I’m so proud of being part of such an ambitious and articulate project and, as I, together with Dr. Sabrina Grigolo (who I wish to thank particularly), have collected a lot of narrations from the health carers involved, I can testify that they can really help (not only disabled) people: I was in a sort of little depression when I joined the project, and being “constrained” to read every day these testimonies made me think about how many people have serious health issues, but they don’t give up. This fact helped me a lot to come out from that black tunnel, and knowing that with my work I could give them a despite little help, makes me proud and happy to wake up every morning to do it.
a lot of thanks to sabrina, marco and all the staff for the lessons I am just a technical in laboratory but through these lessons I am able to understand the patient even I don't know and I don't see him, the power of the word is very important for us human people
Thanks to Marie-Claude Simon for her too kind words and to all the health carers, the professionals and the teachers involved into the HEPPY project.
I agree with her about the power of the word to better understand people and their needs.
This project was very important for the contents but most of all for the importance it gives to the relationship between persons who need care and persons who take care. I think it's useful also in the medical equipe, to give a different point of view.
Good morning everyone. My name is Ignazio Curreli. Firstly thanks to Dr. Sabrina Grigolo for giving me the opportunity to participate in this module n. 7 of the project Heppy. In this way I could get to know the Narrative Medicine and the Methodology Pedagogy of Parents.
I was delighted to discover that many of the concepts in this day are in tune with the theoretical and clinical practice that inspire my work (I work as a psychologist in a public health service that takes care of Pathological Addictions). This was encouraging for me. I have been impressed by the tales of personal and professional experiences made by the participants. I have heard touching testimonies of health workers and professionals consider important not only their technical skills but also his own feelings of human being.
if you can I involve family members in the therapeutic process, in addition to the patient, I consider it indispensable in my work as a psychologist, but also in other types of healthcare pathways is a way to make everyone participate thus achieving greater synergies and better results, in addition to reducing the risk of onset of conflict. But it is more challenging in the initial stage and, not infrequently, it requires a greater involvement on the part of operators, even in terms of a questioning of themselves.
One project (Heppy) and so many benefits... I really enjoyed every lecture and disscussion and I really apreciate the work behind it all. It gave me not only a new perspective towards medicine but a pleasant one too, with so many benefits towards everyone involved.
I have a lot of congratulations for IOANA CODREANU for her efforts to make understanding for us this fabulous part of medicine ,that is so interesting.
Also ,I want to congratulate all the staff involved in this project for macking it possible.
Thank you all who participated at this workshop and I'm gratefull to CECMA that offered me the posibility to hold this course
By giving me the opportunity to attend this amazing course I learned interesting things, especially at the workshops with Ioana Codreanu. So thank you very much for giving me this chance. It was a great experience.
In the most honest way I have to thank you for giving me the oportunity to be a part of this wonderful group of people, shared ideas, posted links, books and everything that has been offerred. I know for sure that at this moment I see things a lot more different than I used to before starting these meetings. It is a promise that I will always try to use the Narrative Medicine and not only, in my daily practice.
Thank you for the possibility to take parte of this course .
I learned interesting things. Thank you very much.
after these courses I will try to apply what I learned about Narrative Medicine. Thank you.
thank you very much for these courses.
Even I, first of all, I would like to thanks Sabrina Grigolo, Marco Cerutti and the other teachers and organizers. I agree with Vilma Duretto (I also am a psychologist): I believe in the cure of the word. We have less and less money to spend on care but really the "persons'words" it's a valuable investment. The patient and relatives' words are very important from the standpoint of psychology, but not only. The PNEI (psycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology) a new area of research, tell us the same thing. I believe that these are the new frontiers of care and that the Heppy project step in the righ direction.Thanks for everything.
Congratulations to the Heppy project staff and thank you for all the interesting and challenging debates,here on this forum and also face to face at our work-shops.
I realy enjoyed our meetings and I will aply all I've learned in my daily practice.
Thanks to Dr. Franco Moretti for his too kind words and to all the health carers, the professionals and the teachers involved into the HEPPY project.
I really hope that the HEPPY project can continue in this direction, with an ever growing number of participants who believe in it.
Thank you gave me the chance to participate in this course very inportant and you should all learn how to deal with our fellows in distress and in need of our support.
Participate to this training on narrative medicine will be for me a bettter chance through which to communicate with other professionals, particularly doctors. The use of words and storytelling in psychology is important, is the clarification of individual worlds hidden in the individual stories.
I want to thanks to Ioana Codreanu and the team for the opportunity to develop myself , so to know more, to do better and to be a real profesionist, in this field of activities.
thank you very much too all that organized this course, because i learn a lot a things that i`m happy too say that i have already put into practice. the most important thing that i learn it was to not tag patients, to listen their story, and try to understand them .
I must thank you very much too Ioana Codreanu and too all that organized this course beacause help me in my life and the moust important I listen the story of patients and I understand them beter and I troy to help them as much as I can. Thank you too all
I want to thank to my best friend beacause tell me about this course and also thank you Ioana Codreanu and all that organized this course for the profesionalism and time spend whit as because whe learn how help all the patients whit specials needs
The seventh and last seminar of the HEPPY 2013 course outlined a provisional balance of the activities performed so far, of the possible results and of the expectations for the future.
In particular, Dr. Grigolo illustrated “historically” the assessment methods used in the project and their potential applications. I found the BES (Fair and Sustainable Well-being) project especially interesting: its indicators overcome the limits of a purely economic GDP by including other indicators of well-being, such as health, social relations etc.
In his talk, Eng. Romano from CIPES briefly outlined their future projects and meetings on the subject of health.
Professor Zucchi went into the etymology of the word “evaluation” which derives from the Latin “valeo”: This means “I am well”, thus evaluation implies valuing. He went on to say that an empathic approach to care includes the idea of a “new patient” but clashes completely with the protocols currently followed in hospitals. The latter have been imported from the USA to meet the needs of Insurance Companies and clearly represent a “defensive medicine” based on GDP rather than BES.
Another important concept illustrated is that of Hope Pedagogy, an integral part of Parental Pedagogy, which implies saying the truth with hope.
The morning ended with comments from participants: feedback, suggestions and future expectations concerning the HEPPY Project.
Loud was interesting ... too bad the end .... I want!'ve Learned new things, listening to different opinions and everything was in my favor ..... workplace and beyond.

I am very grateful for all the things I have learned during this project. I strongly believe it would be useful for me and for the patients i will meet. Ii helped me improve essential skills and a better understanding of their real needs. Thank you for all the information provided here as well as for the workshops!
This is a very interesting project, from which we got a lot of interesting ideas,so thank you for the possibility to take parte of this course
Great course, very useful for those who work with patients,thanks to all,who take part in it
Dear All,
I am very grateful for professional work and successful project implementation to Ms. Sabrina Grigolo and Mr. Marco Cerutti.
I am very happy to be a part of HEPPY project as it help me grow professionally and personally through organised project activities those took place in Lithuanian Multiple Sclerosis Union. I am very thankful to Ms. Aldona Droseikiene, who invited me to take part in some project activities and International discussions on health issues. I am Project Manager and Reiki Master and i believe that all together we can create a better future for all. This project gave a possibility to take a closer look not only to the patients but also to the needs of health care system professionals and health workers. I hope that this project will have a financial possibility from the EU to continue what started with all project partners in the future.
With all my respect to All.
Namaste,
Ruta
This course has been very useful and a very good way to learn from some other experiences.Thanks to Ms.Aldona Droseikiene,who invited me to take part in this project.I got a lot of new experience,which I will try to use in my practice.I recommend to use the information out of this project to my colleagues too.My humble thanks to all ,who take part in it.
The content of the course was very relevant and useful to me. I was able to achieve a lot out of the project.The whole program also
shows me that together we can make a progress in narrative medicine. I feel the program was terrific and I am very glad that I could take part in it.thanks to all
The program has helped me to understand how useful is the narrative medicine in nowadays.I really feel that I got what I wanted and needed in my practice.It was great to communicate with participants from other countries and share their experience .Thanks to Ms Aldona who invited me to take part in this programme
I agree with you all.I found the course very interesting and stimulating.A variety of interesting ideas and contacts with participants from other countries.It was good to be actively involved in all parts of this project.I am very interested in narrative medicine,so the new ideas will be useful in my job.Thanks to all who take part in it
I was reassured and inspired to discover so many wonderful,
open-hearted people in our profession.I got a lot of information about narrative medicine.This experience give me the confidence to
share more openly with my patients .Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this course.
Before partecipating this project I felt that evidence based medicine was not all in my working life but I though that I was alone. Now I know that we are many and many that think that our patient , before being a disease is an human being, with sensations, fears, loves, doubts. When we are in front of a patient we must ,at first, think what we would like to have if we were that patient: not only scientific results but also attention, time, sincerity, listening. It's possible only if all health carers are able to integrate each others without frontiers, for patient well.
To validate sensitivity towards patients id difficult to do and even more difficult is to give feedback to someone who is involved only in medication and do not want to see the patient as wholistic person and even worse it is with those carers who do not have the skills to create realtionship with patient and are in a way "mechanistic“ in their care for patients
Patients and families are searching support from our side therefore it is good to be prepared for various situations and to have the communication options to use for variety of these situations
Open communication in validation can help our teams to work better for patients
Most important and most difficult to learn is to listen and be present with the patient, to be really present
To validate myslef is fun activity and also it is very interesting to see which knowledge, skills and competencies I am well off and which konwledge, skills and competenciesI need to improve. Face to face meeting with my colleagues and the possibility to have discussion on our work and validate our skills was pleasent and useful experience, I will do it with my colleagues in my workplace
I have learnt the observation skills and giving feedback, the competency model I will take to my home care institution for my colleagues and when filling it up each for himself / herself and then we will fill it up for our colleagues – how we see them and the discussion will follow to improve the skills of individual carers and the whole team
Communication skills and empathy are the basic tools we use and we should use them well
