This article describes a project created as part of the Arts in Medicine program at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida. The overall mission is to identify and develop connections between the creative arts and the healing arts that will improve the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health of our community. The immediate aim of this project is to facilitate the development of similar programs on other clinical units and in other hospitals. The key component is the inclusion of professional artists as artists in residence in an intensive care unit setting. Their primary function is to conduct creative arts workshops and to work one on one to facilitate the use of art as a therapeutic intervention with patients, families, and health caregivers. This pilot program is being conducted on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and is exploring the links between nurses, physicians, artists, patients, and families in the creative process. The nurse's role has proved to be that of facilitator and advocate, directly incorporating the artist's interactive process into the daily activities of patients and families. The artists have designed and implemented each creative project and acted as consultants in how to incorporate it. The basic assumption is that every individual is a natural artist. We believe that creating opportunities for everyone to explore the possibilities of artistic expression without judgment or criticism can lead to greater self-awareness and self-esteem and can release our innate creative energy. We hypothesize that this energy can be directed as a potent force into our physical, mental, and spiritual healing.
本文介绍了一个作为佛罗里达大学尚德医院医学艺术项目一部分而创建的项目。总体使命是识别并发展创意艺术与治疗艺术之间的联系，以改善我们社区的身体、心理、情感和精神健康。该项目的直接目标是促进在其他临床科室和其他医院开展类似项目。关键组成部分是在重症监护病房环境中纳入专业艺术家作为驻院艺术家。他们的主要职责是举办创意艺术工作坊，并一对一地开展工作，以促进将艺术作为一种治疗手段应用于患者、家属和医护人员。这个试点项目正在骨髓移植科进行，正在探索护士、医生、艺术家、患者和家属在创作过程中的联系。护士的角色已证明是促进者和倡导者，将艺术家的互动过程直接融入患者和家属的日常活动中。艺术家们设计并实施了每个创意项目，并就如何将其融入提供咨询。基本假设是每个人都是天生的艺术家。我们相信，为每个人创造机会去探索艺术表达的可能性，而不进行评判或批评，能够带来更强的自我认知和自尊，并能释放我们内在的创造力。我们假设这种能量可以作为一股强大的力量引导到我们的身体、心理和精神康复中。
