The Visual Art to Improve Skills for Paediatrics Staff

in healthcare working contexts, individuals are required to have a set of transversal skills that can be distinguished in technical-specialist, communicative-relational and organizational-management skills. This is the reason why interprofessional training has become a requirement in hospital wards. Art has been shown to be effective tools in educating medical students and healthcare professionals to a better self-awareness, reflective practice with the aim of better communication with the patient, better stress management, less burn-out etc. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of art as a tool for the development of useful skills as observation, problem solving, critical thinking, communication, tolerance of ambiguity in paediatric practice.
