Kanserli Hastalarda Çok Konuşulmayan Bir Uygulama: Sanat Terapisi

Abstract

Kanser, günümüzde ölümcül sonuçları nedeniyle önemini koruyan, hastalık süreci ve ilaç yan etkileri nedeniyle yaşam kaliteleri olumsuz etkilenen önemli sağlık sorunlarından birisidir. Sanat terapisi tamamlayıcı ve alternatif yaklaşımlar arasında yer alan önemli bir uygulamadır. Kanserli hastalarda uygulanan sanat terapisinin ağrı, depresyon, yorgunluk, anksiyeteyi azalttığı ve yaşam kalitesini, kişilerarası iletişimi, benlik saygısını arttırdığı bulunmuştur. Ülkemizde kanser hastalarında sınırlı uygulama alanı bulunan sanat terapisinin yapılacak çalışmalarla etkinliği değerlendirilmeli ve elde edilen kanıtlar doğrultusunda hemşirelik uygulamalarına entegre edilmesi gereklidir.
