| Abstract | Medical education research demonstrates that empathic behaviour is amenable to positive change when targeted through educational programmes. This study evaluates the impact of an arts-based intervention designed to nurture learner empathy through the provision of facilitated visual literacy activities. Health Sciences students (N=19) were assigned to two learning groups: a group that participated in a visual literacy programme at the McMaster Museum of Art and a control group that participated in the normal Health Sciences curriculum. All participants completed an inter-reactivity index, which measures empathy on affective and cognitive levels, prior to and following the programme. Those individuals assigned to the visual literacy programme also completed open-ended questions concerning the programme’s impact on their empathic development. The index scores were subjected to independent within-group, between-test analyses. There was no significant impact of the programme on the participants’ overall empathic response. However, subcomponent analyses revealed that the programme had a significant positive effect on cognitive aspects of empathy. This finding was substantiated by the narrative reports. The study concludes that the affective focus of humanities-based education needs to be enhanced and recommends that learners are educated on the different components that comprise the overall empathic response. © 2015, Med Humanit.All rights reserved. |
The impact of an arts-based programme on the affective and cognitive components of empathic development. Introduction to Signs and Symbols: This session introduced participants to the use of signs and symbols in art and everyday life. In keeping with recent recommendations regarding the use of qualitative methods that offer additional perspectives to the understanding of empathic development approximately weeks after the completion of The Art of Seeing training programme and the administration of the postintervention IRI students in the intervention group were invited to complete a short survey assignment of open-ended questions online. However much of what the participants wrote suggested that they felt participating in The Art of Seeing programme did indeed impact on their empathic response. One student P expressed this by stating: I feel that this program helps enhance creativity as you exercise imagination in observing a work of art.
