Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted nurses and other healthcare professionals, underscoring a need to capture and share their experiences, especially amid persistent negative perceptions of nursing. This research aimed to understand the experiences of those who worked during the pandemic, translate them into audio artworks, and understand how their resulting exhibition was experienced. Utilizing arts-based inquiry, nurses (n = 4) and other healthcare specialists (n = 4) were involved in an arts-based workshop fostering a deep exploration of their experiences, and revealing themes such as uncertainty, the complexities of navigating professional identity within widespread "hero narratives", human connection and the powerful sense of catharsis and community found in sharing their experiences. Inspired by these insights, an artist created the audio artwork "Boats on an ocean". Six other audio artworks were subsequently created in the same way. A survey (n = 18) and in two hybrid workshops (n = 6) were then undertaken to understand how audiences experienced the exhibited artwork. Audiences consistently described the exhibition as "profoundly moving". This research marks the first instance of using arts-based methods to both qualitatively capture and artistically disseminate healthcare professionals' COVID-19 experiences. It serves as a historic record, preserving accounts for future generations.

探索COVID-19大流行期间工作的护士的经历:一项基于艺术的调查。
2019冠状病毒病大流行深刻影响了护士和其他医疗保健专业人员,强调有必要了解和分享他们的经验,特别是在对护理的负面看法持续存在的情况下。这项研究旨在了解那些在大流行期间工作的人的经历,将其转化为音频艺术品,并了解他们如何体验由此产生的展览。利用以艺术为基础的探究,护士(n = 4)和其他医疗保健专家(n = 4)参与了以艺术为基础的研讨会,促进了对其经历的深入探索,并揭示了诸如不确定性、在广泛的“英雄叙事”中导航职业身份的复杂性、人际关系以及在分享经验时发现的强大的宣泄感和社区感等主题。受到这些见解的启发,一位艺术家创作了音频艺术品“海洋上的船”。随后以同样的方式创作了其他六个音频艺术品。然后进行了一项调查(n = 18)和两个混合工作室(n = 6),以了解观众如何体验展出的艺术品。观众一致认为这次展览“非常感人”。这项研究标志着首次使用基于艺术的方法定性地捕捉和艺术地传播医疗保健专业人员的COVID-19经验。它是一份历史记录,为子孙后代保存账目。
