A cluster design controlled trial of arts-based observational skills training in primary care

Abstract: This study provides statistically significant evidence that arts-based observational skills training can improve the observational skills of doctors and nurses. It is important not to overstate the clinical significance of these findings, and to recognise that observational skills are just one of many complex and subtle factors affecting the quality of the clinical process. Further research is needed to assess the existence, nature and clinical significance of longer-term benefits, and to identify differences … Show more

“…Kirklin et al investigated whether arts-based skills could help improve observational skills. 25 This lowquality RCT involved the intervention group being taught observational skills by an artist, while the control group received a traditional lecture on skin diseases. Observational skills were found to improve significantly more in the intervention group than the control group, which may lead to more accurate diagnoses in practice.…”

“…Some studies had a high risk of selection bias, [13][14][15][16][17]19,20,22,24,25,27,[29][30][31] with little information given (if any) about whether those who participated were different from those who chose not to take part. Almost all studies reported a follow-up period of less than 1 year; 11,14,[17][18][19]21,23,24,27,28,31,33 several tested participants straight after the intervention; 15,16,29,30 and some did not include or state any follow-up period.…”

“…Newer approaches in clinical anatomy teaching involve using multi-media programs to digitally explore anatomical features ('An@tomedia', 2002) as well as life drawing and body painting anatomical features on living models (McMenamin, 2008). The value of incorporating art when learning clinical skills in medical education has been investigated in a number of studies (Elder, Tobias, Lucero-Criswell, & Goldenhar, 2006;Kirklin, Duncan, McBride, Hunt, & Griffin, 2007;McMenamin, 2008;Moore, Lowe, Lawrence, & Borchers, 2011;Naghshineh et al, 2008;Naug, Colson, & Donner, 2011;Schaff, Isken, & Tager, 2011;Shapiro, Rucker, & Beck, 2006). One study has examined the potential learning benefits for medical students involved in an interdisciplinary drawing module (Lyon, Letschka, Ainsworth, & Haq, 2013).…”

“…It can also be beneficial to explore the additional benefits of artistic approaches beyond anatomy learning. For example, the observational skills that are developed through the use of artistic methods can also be transferable to clinical practice (Bardes, Gillers, & Herman, 2001;Boudreau, Cassell, & Fuks, 2008;Jasani & Saks, 2013;Kirklin, Duncan, McBride, Hunt, & Griffin, 2007; Naghshineh et al, 2008;Pellico et al, 2009). In order to implement a novel or innovative method into your curriculum, it may be necessary to convince others of the value of your approach.…”
