Abstract

Burn injuries necessitate resource-intensive multidisciplinary care and psychosocial support. Incorporating art therapy in burn centers could enhance patient and provider care. However, research on the impact and reception of art therapy within the context of burn care is scarce. A doctoral dissertation study introduced art therapy intervention for burn patients. As part of this research, we conducted a qualitative study to explore health-care providers’ experiences, with a focus on their perspectives on burn-care and art therapy to inform research and clinical practice. Using thematic analysis in qualitative research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 health-care providers from varied disciplines and identified the following three themes: a) Burn care is a “multifaceted problem” as well as an impact-driven, rewarding experience for providers; b) The visuality of art therapy coupled with physical activity is perceived as a necessary “emotional outlet” for burn patients; and c) Future art therapy research/practice goals are linked to complex patient presentations, specific multidisciplinary team challenges, and the critical care environment. Positive perceptions reinforced that art therapy could contribute to inpatient care as part of multidisciplinary burn teams. More research is needed to address the identified psychosocial, functional, and interprofessional needs of patients and providers.

艺术疗法是将烧伤护理扩展到外科手术之外的桥梁：烧伤住院中心医疗人员的观点

烧伤需要资源密集型多学科护理和社会心理支持。在烧伤中心采用艺术疗法可以加强对病人和医护人员的护理。然而，有关艺术疗法在烧伤护理中的影响和接受程度的研究却很少。一项博士论文研究介绍了针对烧伤患者的艺术疗法干预。作为这项研究的一部分，我们进行了一项定性研究，探索医疗服务提供者的经验，重点是他们对烧伤护理和艺术疗法的看法，以便为研究和临床实践提供参考。利用定性研究中的主题分析法，我们对来自不同学科的 10 名医护人员进行了半结构式访谈，并确定了以下三个主题：a) 烧伤护理是一个 "多方面的问题"，对医护人员来说也是一种以影响为驱动力的有益体验；b) 艺术疗法的视觉效果与身体活动相结合，被视为烧伤患者必要的 "情感宣泄"；c) 未来的艺术疗法研究/实践目标与复杂的患者表现、特定的多学科团队挑战以及重症监护环境相关联。积极的看法强化了艺术疗法作为多学科烧伤团队的一部分可以为住院治疗做出贡献。还需要进行更多的研究，以满足已确定的患者和提供者在社会心理、功能和跨专业方面的需求。
