“…In all of these studies, theatre was identified as research-based theatre. That is, the authors explicitly created a play or a performance based on the findings of a prior research study they were involved in (Colantonio et al, 2008;Gray et al, 2000;Gray, Fitch, LaBrecque & Greenberg, 2003;Mitchell, Jonas-Simpson & Ivonoffski, 2006;Rosenbaum, Ferguson & Herwaldt, 2005). The studies in this review were only those that included arts-based methods; on that basis we did not include the primary study on which the research-based theater originated.…”

Arts-based methods in health research: A systematic review of the literature

The arts are valued by most societies for a variety of reasons. From a health perspective they have been valued primarily for therapeutic purposes. Subsequently, the benefit of the arts in health research is increasingly evident. Although the arts have been used as a research method in other disciplines, their use in health is much more recent. There is no clear understanding of the kind of arts or the way the arts have been used as a research method.This systematic review of the literature was conducted to fill this knowledge gap. We undertook the review to determine what constitutes arts-based methods in health research and how have these methods been used.We searched eight databases using different combinations of several keywords. We used content and thematic analysis to analyze our results.Thirty studies met our criteria for inclusion. Visual arts were the most common, followed by performance arts, and literary arts. The purposes of using arts in health research were primarily for knowledge production and knowledge translation.Artistic methods are a useful technique for both knowledge production and translation purposes, albeit to a limited degree. We will discuss our findings in terms of trends, methodological issues and theoretical issues. Further research is needed to advance this area of knowledge.

“…8 These approaches have been used to facilitate learning and to develop empathetic understanding. [9][10][11][12][13][14] Film can be a succinct, accessible and practical means of disseminating findings. 15,16 Existing reviews indicate a need for research to evaluate knowledge mobilised through artsbased research.…”

Background: Researchers need to consider the impact and utility of their findings. Film is an accessible medium for qualitative research findings and can facilitate learning through emotional engagement. Aim: We aimed to explore the usefulness of a short film presenting findings from a published qualitative synthesis of adults' experience of chronic musculoskeletal pain for pain education. In particular, we were interested in the impact of the film on clinician's understanding of patients' experience of chronic pain and how this knowledge might be used for improved healthcare for people with pain. Methods: Focus groups with healthcare professionals enrolled in a pain management foundation course explored healthcare professionals' experience of watching the film. A constructivist grounded theory approach was adopted by the researchers. Findings: This article presents one thematic exemplar from a wider study. Participants reflected upon the pitfalls of judging by appearances and the value of seeing the person beneath his or her performance. Conclusion: There is a danger that the impact of qualitative findings is under-valued in clinical education. We present one exemplar from a study exploring knowledge mobilisation, which demonstrates that qualitative research, specifically qualitative films, can make us think about the care that we provide to people with chronic pain.

“…Knowledge disseminated this way may effectively reach diverse groups of stakeholders, including but not limited to community members and policy makers, and address the full range of sensory literacy levels. It often enables a more empathic participation of the viewers, stimulates new forms of public dialogue and may advocate social changes (Colantonio et al, 2008;Gergen & Gergen, 2011).…”
