Course Description

This course examines the interface between the arts and nursing to provide insight into the human condition and the healing process. Theoretical and evidence-based foundations that inform the field of the arts in health care will be discussed. Students will have the opportunity to view, interpret, reflect on and create works of art, including paintings, sculpture, literature, film, music and movement. These topics will be explored to develop and enhance the skills of observation, analysis, empathy, self-reflection, and interpersonal (nurse-patient) and interprofessional (nurse-colleague) relationships, which are essential in supporting the healing process and providing holistic patient-centered care to diverse populations.
