Specific complementary therapies used at this rehabilitation centre include Thai massage and herbal therapies.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Background.\u2002<\/jats:bold> In Thailand, there is cultural acknowledgement of a range of traditional therapies (including complementary therapies) widely used in Thai health care. For example, meditation enjoys wide acceptance in Thai culture and attracts strong participation from visitors to Thai Buddhist centres because of growing interest in developing a personal health regime for future preventative health problems.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Qualitative study using narrative inquiry and discourse analysis framed by poststructural theory.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Six nursing staff and six stroke patients were interviewed about their involvement in complementary therapy practice and treatments and their experiences of these therapies in rehabilitation. This paper reports the six nurses\u2019 narratives of their involvement with patients and complementary therapies.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The overall findings revealed two strong themes: nurses\u2019 professional landscape and changes in stroke patients\u2019 embodiment. These two themes were interwoven in a main discourse of nurses attending to and enabling holistic care.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The contexts of temporality, spatiality and other people influencing the progress of patients\u2019 recovery are significant in this study. In particular, the findings illustrate the importance of the nurses\u2019 discourse in preparing stroke patients for a state of readiness to heal.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Relevance to clinical practice.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The nurses\u2019 role becomes much more significant in health care as demonstrated through these stories. Their part in establishing a holistic approach through motivating, advising, educating, calming and imparting a sense of family enables a strong connection with mind, body and spirit potentiating recovery for stroke patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2011.03852.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,17]],"date-time":"2011-11-17T14:05:27Z","timestamp":1321538727000},"page":"657-667","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Complementary therapies in rehabilitation: nurses\u2019 narratives.
