Art, as a product of human behavior, is the expression of emotions from inner states and may provide catharsis, purification, and release. Several branches of art, most notably music, dance, and painting, can be used for treatment purposes, especially in the case of psychological disorders. Cancer, which is defined as uncontrolled cell growth, has been an important health issue throughout history, but the recent increase in its frequency has made it one of the most significant public health problems. Both the physiological distress the disease subjects the body to and the accompanying emotional distress are important factors to be considered in cancer treatment.
In this study, the role of art in expressing emotions of oncological patients was investigated.
During the treatment period, patients were interviewed about their experiences, feelings, expectations and perceptions. The picture was used as an expression of emotions.
Communication between the patient and doctor is one of the most important elements in the treatment process, and it has come to the fore in branches of medicine, such as oncology, because of its positive contribution to treatment compliance. In general, the study showed a pronounced positivity and expectations on the part of patients from the hope-life-healing process rather than oncological treatment.
In this study, we aim to demonstrate how the artistic expression of emotions, in particular, through painting, has a positive effect on healing, hope, and the interactions between cancer patients under oncological treatment and medical professionals.
艺术作为人类行为的产物，是内在情感的表达，可能提供宣泄、净化和释放。艺术的几个分支，最显著的是音乐、舞蹈和绘画，可用于治疗目的，尤其是在心理障碍的情况下。癌症被定义为细胞的失控生长，在历史上一直是一个重要的健康问题，但最近其发病率的上升使其成为最重要的公共卫生问题之一。这种疾病给身体带来的生理痛苦以及随之而来的情感痛苦都是癌症治疗中需要考虑的重要因素。
在本研究中，探讨艺术在表达肿瘤患者情感方面的作用。
在治疗期间，就患者的经历、感受、期望和认知对其进行访谈。绘画被用作情感的一种表达方式。
患者与医生之间的沟通是治疗过程中最重要的因素之一，由于其对治疗依从性有积极贡献，在肿瘤学等医学分支中变得尤为重要。总体而言，该研究显示患者对希望 - 生命 - 治愈过程而非肿瘤治疗表现出明显的积极态度和期望。
在本研究中，我们旨在证明情感的艺术表达，特别是通过绘画，如何对正在接受肿瘤治疗的癌症患者的治愈、希望以及与医疗专业人员之间的互动产生积极影响。
