Paintings have been used in Medical Humanities modules in Nepal at Manipal College of Medical Sciences and KIST Medical College. Detailed participant feedback about the paintings used, the activities carried out, problems with using paintings and the role of paintings in future modules has not been previously done. Hence the present study was carried out.
The present module for first year medical students was conducted from February to August 2010 at KIST Medical College, Nepal. Paintings used were by Western artists and obtained from the Literature, Arts and Medicine database. The activities undertaken by the students include answering the questions 'What do you see' and 'What do you feel' about the painting, creating a story of 100 words about the scene depicted, and interpreting the painting using role plays and poems/songs. Feedback was not obtained about the last two activities. In August 2010 we obtained detailed feedback about the paintings used.
Seventy-eight of the 100 students (78%) participated. Thirty-four students (43.6%) were male. The most common overall comments about the use of paintings were "they helped me feel what I saw" (12 respondents), "enjoyed the sessions" (12 respondents), "some paintings were hard to interpret" (10 respondents) and "were in tune with module objectives" (10 respondents). Forty-eight (61.5%) felt the use of western paintings was appropriate. Suggestions to make annotations about paintings more useful were to make them shorter and more precise, simplify the language and properly introduce the artist. Forty-one students (52.6%) had difficulty with the exercise 'what do you feel'. Seventy-four students (94.9%) wanted paintings from Nepal to be included.
Participant response was positive and they were satisfied with use of paintings in the module. Use of more paintings from Nepal and South Asia can be considered. Further studies may be required to understand whether use of paintings succeeded in fulfilling module objectives.
在尼泊尔的玛尼帕尔医学院和 KIST 医学院的医学人文学科模块中使用了绘画。以前没有对使用的绘画、开展的活动、使用绘画中存在的问题以及绘画在未来模块中的作用进行过详细的参与者反馈。因此进行了本研究。
本模块针对尼泊尔 KIST 医学院的一年级医学生，于 2010 年 2 月至 8 月进行。使用的绘画是西方艺术家的作品，从文献、艺术和医学数据库中获得。学生们进行的活动包括回答关于绘画的问题“你看到了什么”和“你有什么感觉”，用 100 个单词创作一个关于所描绘场景的故事，以及使用角色扮演、诗歌/歌曲来解释绘画。最后两项活动没有获得反馈。2010 年 8 月，我们获得了关于使用绘画的详细反馈。
共有 100 名学生中的 78 名（78%）参与了研究。34 名学生（43.6%）为男性。关于使用绘画的最常见的总体评价是“它们帮助我感受我所看到的”（12 名受访者）、“喜欢这些课程”（12 名受访者）、“有些画很难解释”（10 名受访者）和“与模块目标一致”（10 名受访者）。48 名学生（61.5%）认为使用西方绘画是合适的。为了使绘画注释更有用，提出的建议是使注释更简短、更精确，简化语言，并正确介绍艺术家。41 名学生（52.6%）在“你有什么感觉”的练习中遇到困难。74 名学生（94.9%）希望能加入尼泊尔的绘画。
参与者的反应是积极的，他们对模块中使用绘画感到满意。可以考虑使用更多来自尼泊尔和南亚的绘画。可能需要进一步的研究来了解绘画是否成功地实现了模块目标。
