Abstract: Life Story Work (LSW) is a biographical narrative approach used within health and social care settings that offers individuals an opportunity to talk and think about their lived experiences. LSW is embedded in government out-of-home care (OOHC) policy nationally and internationally. Despite this, little is known about how LSW is implemented in OOHC or the experience of key stakeholders. We conducted a systematic review and synthesis of qualitative studies to address these knowledge gaps.
