Student exposure to illness-related theatrical performances holds intriguing educational possibilities. This project explored uses of theatrical performance within the context of medical education.
Two 1-person shows, dramatically addressing AIDS and ovarian cancer, were presented to audiences totalling approximately 150 medical students, faculty, community doctors, staff and patients.
Evaluations for both performances indicated increased understanding of the illness experience and greater empathy for patients. They also showed that respondents obtained additional insights into patient care issues, and developed new ways of thinking about their situations.
Presenting illness-related dramatic performances as an adjunct method of enhancing empathy and insight toward patients in a self-selected group of students, doctors, staff and patients was successful. Although this approach might not be effective with all learners, those who participated felt they gained important insights into the nature of the patient experience.
让学生接触与疾病相关的戏剧表演具有引人入胜的教育可能性。本项目探讨了戏剧表演在医学教育背景下的应用。
向总计约150名医学生、教师、社区医生、工作人员和患者观众上演了两场独角戏，戏剧性地讲述了艾滋病和卵巢癌。
两场演出的评估表明，对疾病体验的理解有所增加，对患者的同理心更强。评估还显示，受访者对患者护理问题有了更多见解，并形成了思考自身处境的新方式。
将与疾病相关的戏剧表演作为一种辅助方法，以增强在一组自主选择的学生、医生、工作人员和患者中对患者的同理心和洞察力是成功的。尽管这种方法可能并非对所有学习者都有效，但参与的人认为他们对患者体验的本质有了重要见解。
