This study explores the perspectives of doctors, nurses, and technicians on the medical clown. A total of 35 subjects were interviewed one on one. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed for common themes. Medical staff outlined novel limitations and views of future directions for the field of medical clowning. Most importantly, many previously unpublished benefits of medical clowns were described. These reported benefits included cost-saving measures for the hospital, increases in staff efficiency, better patient outcomes, and lower stress in medical staff. Given that most of the limitations on medical clowning are financial in nature, these findings have substantial implications for the future of the field. As medical clowning continues to grow, this study outlines the potential for various future research projects within this field of study.
本研究探讨了医生、护士和技术人员对医疗小丑的看法。总共35名受试者接受了一对一访谈。访谈内容被转录并分析以找出共同主题。医务人员概述了医疗小丑领域的新限制和未来发展方向。最重要的是，描述了许多此前未发表的医疗小丑的益处。这些报告的益处包括医院的成本节约措施、员工效率提高、更好的患者治疗效果以及医务人员压力降低。鉴于医疗小丑的大多数限制本质上是财务方面的，这些发现对该领域的未来具有重大影响。随着医疗小丑的不断发展，本研究概述了该研究领域内各种未来研究项目的潜力。
