This website contains art created by third year medical students during their rotation in Family Medicine and Primary Care in their studies at The University of Hong Kong.  The art was created in a medical humanities workshop designed to help the students develop their capacity to be caring healing professionals, in addition to being astute medical practitioners.  Through engaging in art making designed to promote reflection, the students were able to develop their capacity for increasing self-awareness and compassion for patient pain and suffering.  Guided by an art therapist, the students learn how art making can facilitate contemplation, expression and communication.  By sharing these images, we hope to inspire other healthcare and medical professionals to create art as a way to pay attention to themselves in order to better serve patients with empathy and understanding.

 

The art workshops were co-sponsored by the Centre on Behavioral Health of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong. The workshops focused on pain and suffering were supported by the Development Fund for Medical Humanities. This website and associated community education activities were made possible by the Knowledge Exchange Office of the University of Hong Kong.

 

This series of workshops was co-organized by Dr. Julie Chen, Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care and Dr. Jordan Potash, Lecturer  in the Centre on Behavioral Health and Department of Social Work and Social Administration. Administrative and research assistance was provided by Joyce Tsang, Vivian Chau and Mabel Cheng.

本網站收錄由香港大學醫學院三年級學生在家庭醫學與基礎醫療課程輪值期間創作的作品。透過香港大學特別舉辦的人文醫學工作坊,幫助他們發展自己的能力,成為機智且關愛人的醫者。從參與著重反思的藝術創作,學生能提升自我意識以及對病者痛苦與折磨的同情心。在藝術治療師的帶領下,學生學習如果利用藝術創作沉思、表達和溝通。我們希望能夠藉著分享這些作品,啟發其他醫療專業人士,利用創作藝術來關注自己,才能更好地以同情和理解之心服務病者。

 

藝術工作坊由香港大學社會科學學院行為健康教研中心與李嘉誠醫學院家庭醫學及基層醫療學系共同主辦。「痛苦與折磨」工作坊由醫學人文學發展基金資助。本網站及相關的社區教育活動是由香港大學知識交流辦公室資助。

 

本系列工作坊由香港大學家庭醫學及基層醫療學系助理教授陳芸醫生與行為健康教研中心及社會工作及社會行政學系講師Dr. Jordan Potash合辦,並由Joyce Tsang,Vivian Chau以及Mabel Cheng提供行政及研究的協助。

藝術創作為習慣於傳統教學主題和模式的學生提供了新的學習方法。此藝術創作工作坊有助學生獲得對自己和他人新的認識。通過促進自我意識,醫學生可以更加了解自己的情緒,以提高他們的臨床判斷和發現工作倦怠的跡象。對於創作回應藝術學生,在欣賞同伴的畫作的同時創作回應藝術,可以增加對患者痛苦的理解和欣賞全人護理和醫患關係的價值。學生感言表明,創意的氛圍可以有認真的學習,同時促進個人的福祉。此外,這個計劃展示了醫學生的畫作可以向學生和醫療專業人士灌輸人文醫學的重要。

  

 

 

Art-making provided a novel approach to learning for students who are accustomed to traditional teaching topics and formats. The workshops contributed to the students’ gaining new understanding about themselves and others. By promoting greater self-awareness, medical students can become more aware of their emotions to enhance their clinical judgment and monitor signs of burnout.  For students who completed response art, the combination of viewing art made by their peers and creating art in response resulted in empathic understanding of patient pain and suffering and an appreciation of holistic care and the value of the doctor-patient relationship. Student reflections demonstrated that serious learning can take place in a creative atmosphere while simultaneously contributing to personal well-being.  Further, this project showcased how medical student-generated artwork has the potential to educate both students and professionals on the humanistic aspects of medical care.
