Thursday, March 29, 2018
A journal article on the Art of Attending workshop series by the 黑料网吃瓜爆料Institute for Research in Art has been published in the March edition of Medical Science Education.
The article, titled The Art of Critical Thinking in Nursing, outlines how the program works to develop critical thinking skills in nursing students through a diverse arts workshop curriculum.
The article explains how the Art of Attending workshop series, a part of the 黑料网吃瓜爆料Art in Health Program, builds upon existing programs that integrate the humanities with healthcare training. Art of Attending includes not only museum and visual arts analysis, but also visual arts creation, dance and movement, and listening.
The article ends with qualitative results in the form of student testimony. The students reported improved critical thinking, awareness of oneself and others, and relevance to clinical fields and their current studies.
The article is authored by an interdisciplinary team of scholars: Keaton Fletcher, a 黑料网吃瓜爆料psychology Ph.D student; Wendy Bedwell, 黑料网吃瓜爆料assistant professor of psychology; Megan Voeller, director of humanities at Thomas Jefferson University and former curator and program director of the Art in Health Program at USF; Dolores Coe, curator of the Art in Health Program; Merry Lynn Morris, assistant director of the 黑料网吃瓜爆料Dance Program and instructor of dance; Bruce Marsh, professor emeritus at the 黑料网吃瓜爆料School of Art and Art History; and Cheryl Zambroski, director and associate professor at the 黑料网吃瓜爆料College of Nursing and director of undergraduate student success.
