Abstract

Background: The objective was to assess the impact of an Artist-in-Residence (AiR) program on the quality of life of patients living at a complex continuing care hospital.

Methods: In the AiR program, a professional Artist facilitated the creation of community art projects by patients in groups (before COVID-19) and individually (during COVID-19). Four patients, four staff and one family member involved with the program were interviewed to assess their experiences.

Results: Themes identified included improvements in spiritual, mental and community health, creation of a sense of community, learning skills and knowledge surrounding art and culture, and the importance of the Artist's personal characteristics/personality. It was recommended to continue and expand the program.

Conclusions: The patients deeply enjoyed the AiR program and working with the Artist. Non-patient participants also recognized benefits for the hospital community. Procurement of stable funding and expansion of the program are areas to focus on next.

综合持续护理医院艺术家驻院计划的影响:质量改善调查。

背景:目的是评估艺术家驻院(AiR)计划对生活在复杂持续护理医院的患者生活质量的影响。方法:在AiR项目中，由一名专业艺术家协助患者分组(新冠肺炎前)和个人(新冠肺炎期间)进行社区艺术项目创作。四名患者、四名工作人员和一名参与该项目的家庭成员接受了采访，以评估他们的经历。结果:确定的主题包括改善精神、心理和社区健康，创造社区意识，学习与艺术和文化有关的技能和知识，以及艺术家个人特征/个性的重要性。建议继续并扩大该计划。结论:患者非常喜欢AiR项目和与艺术家的合作。非患者参与者也认识到医院社区的好处。获取稳定的资金和扩大项目规模是下一步的重点。
