Objectives.
Given that hospitals have environmental enrichment with paintings and visual art arrangement, it would be meaningful to develop and document how hospital art could be used by health professionals.
Methods.
The study was undertaken at an art site in Sweden.
During 1-hour sessions, participants (n=20) get together in an art gallery every second week five times.
Results.
According to the participants a new value was perceived.
From qualitative analyses, three themes appear: raise association, mentally present, and door-opener.
In addition 72% of the participants reported makes me happy and gives energy and inspiration, and 52% reported that dialogues increase inspiration, make you involved, and stimulate curiosity.
Conclusion.
The present study supported the view that visual art dialogue could be used by health care professionals in a structured manner and that meaningful art stimulation, related to a person’s experiences, could be of importance for the patients.
Implementing art dialogues in hospital settings could be a fruitful working tool for nurses, a complementary manner of patient communication.
