Long-Term Art Workshops and a Reflective Account on Them

Year 2024, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 55 - 59, 30.06.2024

Abstract

Many fourth year medical students who start attending the clinic after the theoretical years face unexpected and compelling situations. The context of medical education shifting from basic sciences to clinic and requirements like handling many new skills like apt communication and emotional resilience drive medical students to look for areas where they can sooth themselves emotionally, relax and think clearly while forming a professional identity. To address this situation, the long-term art workshops project was held in 2021 for year 4 and 5 students, interns and resident doctors at Marmara University. Reflective/narrative sessions held in parallel with painting and story writing workshops, all run by experienced specialists, lasted for an academic year. According to participants’ reflective accounts, they highly benefited from the art workshops project in terms of self-awareness, empathy, communication and understating for everyone in the clinic. In this text a painting and a clinical story from one of the participants of the project have been handled along with her reflective account.

UZUN SÜRELİ SANAT ATÖLYELERİ ÜZERİNE DÜŞÜNÜMSEL BİR AÇILIM

Year 2024, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 55 - 59, 30.06.2024

Abstract

Teorik yılların ardından klinik eğitime başlayan birçok dördüncü sınıf tıp öğrencisi beklenmedik ve zorlayıcı durumlarla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Tıp eğitiminin temel bilimlerden kliniğe geçmesi, iletişim ve duygusal dayanıklılık gibi birçok yeni becerinin ele alınması gibi gereksinimler, tıp öğrencilerini profesyonel kimlik oluştururken duygusal olarak kendilerini rahatlatabilecekleri ve net düşünebilecekleri alanlar aramaya itmektedir. Bu bağlamda çözüm üretmek amacıyla 2021 yılında Marmara Üniversitesinde 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencileri, intörnler ve asistan doktorlara yönelik uzun süreli sanat atölyeleri projesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Resim ve hikaye yazma atölyelerine paralel olarak gerçekleştirilen düşünüm/anlatı oturumları deneyimli uzmanlar tarafından bir akademik yıl boyunca sürdürülmüştür. Katılımcıların düşünüm oturumlarındaki ifadelerine göre sanat atölyeleri projesinden kişisel farkındalık, empati, iletişim ve anlayış açısından oldukça faydalanmışlardır. Bu yazıda proje katılımcılarından birinin klinik ortama dair bir hikayesi ve resmi, onun düşünüm verileriyle birlikte ele alınmıştır.
