Identifying qualitative methods that ensure methodological rigor is a major challenge in the field of public health. The use of narrative approaches as a research tool can help understand human experience in the face of complex health and disease processes. This article applies the philosophical thinking of Hannah Arendt to the field of public health, reflecting on health education and training based on the idea of human plurality. We provide insights into the Arendtian concept of “narrative”, which can also serve as an epistemological and methodological frame of reference for qualitative research in the field of public health, especially for studies investigating health education and training.
