Cadaver dissection has always played a fundamental role in medical education. However, especially in Italy, the topic of body donation has remained partially unknown for years. The current study analyses graphic medicine as a new possible communication tool, evaluating and reflecting, with second-year students enrolled in the International School of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Bologna, about its potentialities for body donation awareness-raising in both the scientific community and the general population. For the first time in an Italian University, two graphic medicine workshops were organized focusing on human anatomy and body donation. Seminars were positively evaluated by students using a four items Likert-scale question: mean 3.54 (± SD 0.73) for the Likert question about the experiences of the workshops; 3.88 (± 0.33) for the Likert question regarding the use of graphic medicine in body donation awareness campaigns among the general population; 3.59 (± 0.65) for the Likert question regarding the use of graphic medicine in body donation awareness campaigns among the scientific community. Furthermore, the open-ended questions included in the anonymous questionnaire were analyzed using the constructivist grounded qualitative analysis, whence various themes emerged. Finally, five graphic medicine projects about body donation were created by students, proving their interest in testing this method to promote body donation, focusing the attention on different communicative aspects. Considering the results of this pilot study, the co-creative collaborative use of graphic medicine could be evaluated as an additional strategy to increase body donation awareness-raising in Italy and beyond, especially in the non-experts' community.
尸体解剖在医学教育中一直发挥着基础性作用。然而，尤其是在意大利，多年来遗体捐赠这一话题在一定程度上仍不为人所知。本研究将图文医学分析为一种新的可能的沟通工具，与博洛尼亚大学国际医学与外科学院的二年级学生一起评估并思考其在科学界和普通民众中提高遗体捐赠意识的潜力。在意大利的一所大学中，首次组织了两场聚焦于人体解剖和遗体捐赠的图文医学工作坊。学生们使用四项李克特量表问题对研讨会进行了积极评价：关于工作坊体验的李克特问题的平均分为3.54（±标准差0.73）；关于图文医学在普通民众遗体捐赠宣传活动中使用情况的李克特问题的平均分为3.88（±0.33）；关于图文医学在科学界遗体捐赠宣传活动中使用情况的李克特问题的平均分为3.59（±0.65）。此外，对匿名问卷中包含的开放式问题采用建构主义扎根定性分析法进行了分析，由此出现了各种主题。最后，学生们创作了五个关于遗体捐赠的图文医学项目，证明了他们对测试这种促进遗体捐赠的方法的兴趣，重点关注了不同的传播方面。考虑到这项试点研究的结果，图文医学的共同创作性协作使用可被视为在意大利及其他地区，尤其是在非专业人士群体中提高遗体捐赠意识的一种额外策略。
