A cancer diagnosis may be experienced as a contingent life event. Co-creation-in which artists together with patients create a work of art reflecting on aspects of the patients' life story-may be used to support patients to integrate such a contingent life event into their life story. We conducted a qualitative study in which we interviewed 10 professional artists to explore if co-creative art processes could facilitate integration of experiences of contingency in patients. Template analyses were performed in AtlasTi. We identified co-creation as a specific form of support to the process of integration of experiences of contingency. In the formation of a new life narrative, patients transcend the boundaries of their previous life narrative by changing their perspective. Self-transcendence forms a pivotal point in co-creation, which may be helpful for patients to integrate experiences of contingency into their life narratives.
癌症诊断可能被视为偶发生活事件。共同创作——艺术家与患者共同创作一件反映患者生活故事方面的艺术作品——可用于帮助患者将这种偶发生活事件融入他们的生活故事中。我们进行了一项定性研究，采访了 10 位专业艺术家，以探讨共同创作艺术过程是否可以促进患者对偶发事件经历的整合。在 AtlasTi 中进行了模板分析。我们确定共同创作是支持偶发事件经历整合过程的一种特定形式的支持。在形成新的生活叙事过程中，患者通过改变视角超越了之前生活叙事的界限。自我超越是共同创作的一个关键点，这可能有助于患者将偶发事件经历融入他们的生活叙事中。
