| Abstract | Art therapy is a healing art intended to integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual care by facilitating creative ways for patients to respond to their cancer experience. A new art therapy program was designed to provide cancer patients with opportunities to learn about the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and to explore personal feelings about their cancer experience through combined gallery and studio components. The role of the facilitator was to assist in the interpretation of a participants drawing in order to reveal meaning in the art. This paper presents patients perspectives about the new art therapy program. Content analysis of participant feedback provided information about the structure, process, and outcomes of the program. Evaluation of the art therapy/museum education program demonstrated many benefits for cancer patients including support, psychological strength, and new insights about their cancer experience. |
An innovative art therapy program for cancer patients.. A new art therapy program was designed to provide cancer patients with opportunities to learn about the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and to explore personal feelings about their cancer experience through combined gallery and studio components. This paper presents patients perspectives about the new art therapy program. Art therapy programs are relatively new endeavours and as such few reports exist that evaluate the participants* experience in the art thcrapy/museum education program. One week after the program ended tire nurse researcher contacted participants by telephone to explain the study purpose and ethical considerations obtain verbal consent and schedule a convenient time for a telephone interview. Learning about the history of different artists through gallery visits videos and movies allowed participants to increase their awareness of art and its impact on the human spirit.
