The existing interventions for informal caregivers assist with managing health outcomes of the role burden. However, the deeper meaning-making needs of informal caregivers have been generally neglected. This paper reflects on the meaning-making needs of informal caregivers, through the theory of narrative identity, and proposes a new approach – the Transformative Video Design technique delivered via video storytelling. Transformative Video Design assists informal caregivers to re-create a cohesive caregiving story and incorporate it into the narrative identity. The technique is used as a stimulus for triggering the self-re-structure within the narrative identity and facilitating role transformation.

针对非正式护理人员的现有干预措施有助于管理角色负担的健康结果。然而，非正式护理人员更深层次的意义建构需求却普遍被忽视。本文通过叙事身份理论反思了非正式护理人员的意义创造需求，并提出了一种新方法——通过视频讲故事提供的变革性视频设计技术。变革性视频设计可帮助非正式护理人员重新创建一个有凝聚力的护理故事并将其纳入叙事身份中。该技术被用作触发叙事身份内的自我重组并促进角色转变的刺激。
