“…Providing ample space and provisions for family needs was deemed extremely important by child participants, therefore designers need to construct hospital rooms with the family unit in mind. This was not a surprising finding as it has been well documented that children welcome the supportive presence of their parents when in hospital (Bishop, 2010;Pelander et al, 2007).…”

Recently, increased recognition has been attributed to the requirement to include the views of child patients in the planning of new health care services so that contemporary buildings can be designed to enhance future experience. This is important, especially since the voices of young children are so often under-represented or represented through adult proxies. The purpose of this article is to share young children's perspectives of what constitutes ideal physical design features for hospital-built environments. Using a participatory art-based approach, data were collected from 55 children (aged five-eight years) across three children's hospitals in Ireland. Emergent findings revealed three broad themes: personal space, physical environment and access. This study is important for nurses, clinicians and environmental designers because it outlines what a supportive child health care environment should constitute. Hospital environments need to be constructed not just to be child friendly, but to also respect children's right to dignity, privacy, family support and self-control.

“…Studies that used the arts for knowledge production used the arts predominantly as a tool for generating data. The most commonly used art forms in these studies were visual arts, such as photographs and drawing (Guillemin, 2004;Hanna, Jacobs & Guthrie, 1995;Locsin, Barnard, Matua & Bongomin, 2003;Nowicka-Sauer, 2007;Oliff & Bottorff, 2007;Oliff, Bottoroff, Kelly & Halpin, 2008;Pelander, Lehtonen & Leino-Kilpi, 2007). Photo voice and photo elicitation methods were explicitly identified in 21 studies.…”

“…The effectiveness of drawings and paintings as data collection tools is owed to the fact that they are projective techniques and are usually nondirective, do not require answers to certain questions, and are driven, to a large degree, by participants. Drawings and paintings help participants identify feelings and desires that they may not otherwise be able to express through words (Pelander et al, 2007).…”

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

2011

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.

“…In this study, some professionals also confirmed this idea, demonstrating, for example, that they used their own resources, such as tasty sticks to lower the tongue, stethoscope, badge, bracelets, talks and drawings to play with the children. In a study that verified, by interpreting the children's drawings, elements to indicate the quality of an ideal hospital, the drawings highlighted the importance of entertaining and activities, besides the simple desire for nurses to smile and wear colored uniforms (16) . All health professionals who intend to work with children should incorporate play actions into the way they deliver care.…”

Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender, na perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde, o significado do uso do brincar/brinquedo em sala de espera de um ambulatório infantil. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com 11 trabalhadores. Procedeu-se à análise qualitativa dos dados, organizados ao redor de dois temas: reconhecimento da importância do brincar/brinquedo e lidando com limitações. O brincar mostra-se como uma estraté-gia de cuidado à criança, pois ameniza o tempo de espera neste ambiente, altera positivamente o comportamento e valoriza o processo de desenvolvimento das mesmas, além de melhorar a comunicação e a interação com os profissionais da saúde. É preciso, entretanto, que exista uma estrutura física adequada do hospital, aliada aos profissionais de saúde e à equipe gestora sensíveis para a inclusão de novas estratégias de cuidado, a exemplo do brincar, a fim de humanizar a assistência à saúde da criança.
