Drawing on the humanities, specifically poetry, this paper offers strategies for educators to support empathy development in learners, with a focus on service user poetry and associated creative writing activities. We discuss how poetry can enable alternative perspectives about care to emerge thereby challenging previously held assumptions about mental and physical states. Using poetry can enable a rehearsal of empathy by bringing experiences to the learner in a safe and facilitated environment. Through creative writing activities, we believe that students can learn to better understand and empathise with others, as well as explore their own feelings and experiences related to caregiving, to support self-care.</p>","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"303-316"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41152097","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}

I think this painful recall of my previous role had an influence on the arrival of the poem. I certainly was not expecting to write it.

The metaphor of \"trams\" used in this project was chosen to represent tram stops in the city and I have used it subsequently in presentations to illustrate something about what rehabilitation can entail. The \"Burden-gift\" of living with rare diseases is something I have found clinicians have found hard to encounter and acknowledge that these are \"new\" to them, and patients being ambassadors a challenge; I have seen doctors Googling their queries as they turn away to go down the corridor, to return moments later to continue the appointment....Nature is generally perceived as being healing, and yet here was someone indifferent, impatient and unwilling to hear what my expert team at a Centre for Excellence were saying - so different in nature to what I had hoped for in that appointment.This variety of Pyracanthas might be named 'Schadenfreude'.</p>","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"225-226"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9742057","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}
