This shortcoming of education is reflected on doctor centered approach practice. Objectives: To identify challenges facing the introduction of communication skills into medical education. Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted to explore the opinion of healthcare professionals regarding challenges facing the introduction of communication skills in their institutions. Results: One hundred forty-four participants responded. The frequency of challenges related to medical practice, education, and patients was 36%, 44%, and 20% respectively. Forty-four participants (30.5%) mentioned that challenges related to the medical colleges’ adoption of the traditional subject-based curriculum, and biomedical approach, with nearly the same frequency of the participants, related challenges to the lack of a clearly defined curriculum, and (23%) due to scarcity of human, financial, and logistical resources. Medical practice-related challenges include doctor-centred approach and neglect of patients' psychosocial aspects in the frequency of 44% and 28% respectively. Twelve respondents (8%) believe that doctors’ use of medical jargon hinders the patient's contribution to the medical interview. Low health literacy, language, and cultural metaphors constituted 71%, and 15% respectively. There is no significant statistical difference in challenges in relation to specialty, workplace, sex, and years of practice. Conclusion: Multiple levels of challenges need systematic review in educational curricula, medical practice, and social determinants.","PeriodicalId":121009,"journal":{"name":"QScience Connect","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125168523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Art Therapy and Beyond: Emerging Practice Innovations and Implications for Practice and Research in the Arabian Gulf","authors":"Trish Bedford, H. A. Abu Rasheed, Jens Schneider, M. Househ","doi":"10.5339/connect.2022.medhumconf.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5339/connect.2022.medhumconf.6","url":null,"abstract":"Engaging in the arts has been demonstrated scientifically to enhance brain function. Creativity can modify a person's perspective and experience of the world. Changes in cerebrum waves impact changes in the nervous system which can raise serotonin levels. This can affect emotions positively by regulating moods and improving brain function which influences both psychological and physiological wellbeing. Creativity is part of our natural development and should be a part of our healing as a community. Art Therapy (AT) is a mental health profession which carries out innovative adaptations as it is recognized as a stand-alone clinical intervention and through community engagement and social justice. Art Therapists are collaborating within diverse fields of clinical and non-clinical practice such as neuroscience and virtual reality. Three papers explore the development of Art Therapy as a profession in Qatar and how AT is an accessible and underutilised or often misjudged profession. Paper one introduces ways that AT is practiced as a clinical, social action and community-based profession. AT might address the shame connected with psychological wellness by connecting with communities, sharing experiences of AT with the general public and by clinical professionals to support their careers, prompting less burnout. Dr. Hadi Mohamad Abu Rasheed shares the Qatar Cancer Society's experience of using Art in psychosocial support for children living with cancer. The western trained Art Therapist's awareness of cultural competence when working in the context of non-western cultural approaches to mental health is imperative to complement the heritage, creativity and community values of the local culture. Intersectional frameworks will inform ethical professional values to be upheld. Paper two develops how AT offers context to reduce the stigma of mental health in Qatar. The first Museum and Gallery AT visit in Qatar, with patients attending a substance misuse program, saw outcomes that included increased engagement in clinical sessions and an art exhibition that was held in the hospital and at conferences within Qatar and globally. Paper three discusses the global alterations in the AT workplace following the Covid-19 epidemic;online AT;and how AT has adapted to employing technology before and after the pandemic. The technology employed in AT is not new. Art Therapists are now using Virtual Reality, where the client becomes part of the world they have created, interacting in it, with the art therapist present. The Emotion Sensing Recognition (ESRA) app is being developed by Dr. Mowafa and Dr. Jens with the consultation of an Art Therapist Trish, to ensure the ethics of working with images. This app can increase positive parent-child attachment and increase the ability to recognise and talk about feelings for parent and child. AT is a cost-effective adaptive treatment and is being prescribed by General Practitioners in the UK and USA alongside visits to museums, c","PeriodicalId":121009,"journal":{"name":"QScience Connect","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115900310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Critique of Data Visualisation, Graphic Medicine and the COVID-19 Pandemic","authors":"Ishan Joshi, Sathyaraj Venkatesan","doi":"10.5339/connect.2022.medhumconf.41","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5339/connect.2022.medhumconf.41","url":null,"abstract":"Data sets were plentifully used in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although they were utilized for documentation, policy formulation, course correction, and research among others, data sets relentlessly reduced human beings to mere numbers and glossed over the affective and emotional experiences which characterize our lived experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarrelling with such decontextualized, depersonalized, and hegemonic impacts of data, graphic medicine while not entirely dismissive of the performative authority of data, criticizes and supplements data only to arrive at a complex model of data. Using close reading of comic panels created by Andy Warner, Sarah Firth, and Randall Munroe, the present article demonstrates how graphic medicine imagines different ways of engaging data through enfolding the social/individual and structures of feeling to convey the embodied nature of our existence. Put differently, graphic medicine rematerializes and reclaims the individuals from datasets through a process which we call \"redrawing.\" Redrawing is a textual practice and strategic engagement with the authority of visual/verbal discourses and its attendant technologies through rhetorical operations of irony, satire and genre blending among others. The article concludes by emphasizing the need to humanize, contextualize, and sensitively present data so as to convey the collective, entangled and affective nature of our existence.
