Patients with neurological symptoms are particularly sensitive to the quality of the sensory impressions to which they are exposed to during hospitalization.
To understand the meaning of aesthetic experiences to patients afflicted with neurological diseases during hospitalization on a neurological unit.
Fifteen patients were invited to "walk and talk" supplemented by semi-structured interviews conducted in newly established aesthetic tableaus within the neurology unit. Data analysis was inspired by the hermeneutic phenomenological methodology of van Manen.
The data analysis identified three overarching themes that unfolded in the patients' experiences of a more aesthetic environment. The themes were:
Aesthetic elements can enable a thoughtful and needed consideration that withholds momentarily imaginative and hopeful experiences to patients in a vulnerable situation. Thus, aesthetics, together with peace and quietness, can set vulnerable patients free to retreat and recover from the symptoms of neurological diseases.
患有神经系统疾病的患者对住院期间所接触到的感官印象的质量特别敏感。
理解神经内科住院患者的审美体验的意义。
邀请 15 名患者在神经内科新设立的美学画框内“边走边说”，并辅以半结构化访谈。数据分析的灵感来自范梅南的解释现象学方法。
数据分析确定了三个总体主题，这些主题在患者对更具美感的环境的体验中展开。这些主题是：
感官印象
神经科环境中的美学
对美的渴望
美学元素可以使人们在脆弱的情况下，对患者的想象和希望体验进行深思熟虑和必要的考虑。因此，美学与宁静可以让脆弱的患者摆脱神经系统疾病的症状，从而得到喘息和恢复。
