Across many contemporary contexts marked by anxiety, loss, and psychological fatigue, individuals often experience emotional burdens that remain difficult to articulate through conventional discourse. Through a contemplative poetic narrative, the work illustrates how language can transform personal and collective pain into shared expression. The poem portrays poetry not as a direct cure, but as a symbolic and emotional medium through which individuals acknowledge vulnerability, process grief, and reconnect with others who experience similar struggles. By giving voice to silent emotions, poetry creates a communicative bridge that allows readers to recognize fragments of their own experiences within the words of another. This reflective process reveals how artistic language can support emotional awareness, empathy, and a sense of human connection during periods of uncertainty. In the context of arts and health, the poem suggests that creative expression may function as a subtle yet meaningful pathway toward psychological resilience and collective healing. The work contributes to ongoing discussions in the interdisciplinary field of arts and health by highlighting the potential of poetry as a medium that nurtures reflection, restores emotional voice, and strengthens the shared human capacity to endure and heal.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The four key themes identified in this study highlight participants' multiform experiences: (1) Balancing accessibility with aesthetics? (2) Choir as a warm bath, but too short?

How come poems help us find the switch that turns up the light? What is the role of poetry in healing our bodies and souls? It is in response to these questions that this poem was developed, since perhaps one possible explanation lies in the power of poetry - facts inform, but poetry comforts. Poetry is not just a song of rhymes or a dance of words. Rather, it is the pleasure, the glory, and the grace of seeing and being seen; it is the fire, the light, and the solace of knowing ourselves and where we belong. Much of our society is built on facts; the medical community is no exception. After all, diagnoses, doses, and mortality rates must be built upon facts. Yet facts can seldom capture the essence of our existence, not least amid unknowns such as the complexity of the human brain, the variability of our emotions, and phenomena like the placebo and nocebo effects. This poem aims to advance the case for poetry as a vital resource for health and well-being, particularly in contexts of pain, fear, and grief - where factual approaches alone often prove insufficient. Rather than a supplementary practice, the poem presents poetry as a vital form of arts-based care that responds to the lived realities of vulnerability and uncertainty, offering companionship, support, purpose, and resilience at moments when we need to recover our strength the most.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147311201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This distress can reduce the cooperation with medical staff, making the treatments more difficult. This study examines how healthcare clowning affected children, their parents, and medical staff during procedures in paediatric allergology, and includes the perspectives of the clown artists on their work in this setting.Methods: Ethnographic observations included 130 children (5-17 years old), 46 parents, 12 medical staff, and five clown artists. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with children, parents, and medical staff, while a focus group discussion was held with the clown artists. Data were analysed through qualitative content analysis.Results: Healthcare clowning reduced anxiety and diverted attention from procedures among younger children, whereas older children engaged less with the clowns. Parents reported feeling calmer and experienced greater mutual support. Staff described smoother workflow and improved ability to focus on clinical tasks. Effective delivery relied on co-creation between artists and medical staff.Conclusion: In paediatric allergology, healthcare clowning provides psychosocial support, particularly for younger children and parents, and can support the work of medical staff when integrated into clinical routines. Reduced engagement among older children underlines the importance of developing context- and age-sensitive models of clowning to maximise its benefits.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147285676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The metaphor of a \"canvas\" is central: it represents the body and the lived experience of health as never uniform, but shaped by each person's unique history, context, and interventions. The first stanza emphasizes embodied experience, portraying illness and vulnerability as unavoidable stains and textures on the canvas, reflecting the physical and psychological impact of disease. The second stanza brings in the interpersonal and professional dimension of care, depicting healthcare providers as contributing both structure and color, yet acknowledging the limitations of clinical intervention in fully capturing the patient's lived experience. Imagery of ink, roots, and corridors conveys the interconnectedness of human care and the organic, sometimes unpredictable growth of healing. The final stanza foregrounds the arts as a complementary medium for health, showing how music, clay, laughter, and creative acts help patients reclaim agency, express emotion, and experience wellbeing. By framing recovery and health as co-constructed, aesthetic, and embodied, the poem aligns with arts-in-health discourse, highlighting the transformative potential of creative engagement alongside conventional healthcare. The use of strong visual and tactile imagery is intended to evoke both emotional resonance and reflective insight, making it accessible to a broad readership, including healthcare practitioners, artists, researchers, and policy makers. The piece, therefore, asserts that health is not about perfection, but about the ongoing, imperfect, and meaningful process of creating, enduring, and healing within the textured canvas of human life.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146229183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Longitudinal approaches provide nuanced insights into patterns of access and engagement, identifying where additional support is needed to sustain engagement in ACRs over time.Methods: This study examines ACR participation from ages 8 to 12 in Aotearoa New Zealand, across Sports, Creative Arts and Community-based activities. Data came from the 8-year wave (2017-2019) and 12-year wave (2021-2022) of the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal cohort study (N = 3,738). We assessed participation pathways (sustained, increasing, decreasing or disengaged), and analysed associations with identity (gender, ethnicity, disability) and sociodemographic factors (deprivation, household structure, rurality), using chi-squared tests of independence and standardised residuals analyses.Results: Participation in all three activity types increased from ages 8 to 12. Identity and sociodemographic characteristics were significantly associated, but not rurality. Across participation pathways, engagement was not evenly distributed across the population, with structural, geographic, and cultural influences contributing to complex patterns of access and continuity. For example, children in extended family households showed higher increasing Creative Arts participation and higher sustained Community activity participation, highlighting the positive impacts of support from family.Conclusions: Findings highlight both persistent inequities and promising enabling factors in access to ACRs amongst youth. Targeted, equity-focused interventions are needed to ensure all young people in Aotearoa can sustain meaningful participation in ACRs across the life course.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146208044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
