Arts In Health

This chapter outlines the first four stages in the process of designing and delivering arts in health interventions. Using business models from industry, management, and health care, it provides a step-by-step guide to conceptualizing and planning effective arts in health interventions that meet a real need within health care. It shows how to scope national and local opportunities, identify specific challenges that the arts could address, select appropriate target groups, understand the needs of patients, public, and staff, undertake consultations, identify relevant research, develop initial ideas, plan for a pilot, and model the impact that the intervention could have. These steps will provide the foundation for a creative and novel intervention with the potential to have real impact and sustainability.

Working with the arts in health care can present a range of challenges and areas of sensitivity. This chapter considers some of the most important protocols when working in health. This includes crucial issues around patient safeguarding, such as codes of conduct for working with patients and the public, patient confidentiality, ways of flagging causes for concern, and considerations when undertaking photography or filming. It also looks at important aspects of health and safety, including standard infection control precautions, risk assessments, and occupational health. Finally, the chapter explores how to engage patients, public, and staff in interventions to provide a safe and friendly environment.

Arts In Health

This chapter traces the origins of the use of arts in health, from the earliest artefacts found in caves dating back c.40,000 years ago. It explores the use of the arts in healing rituals and early theories of medicine from the Ancient world, and charts how the relationship between art and health shifted during the Middle Ages as the practice of medicine moved from monasteries to universities. It discusses how the Enlightenment led to more rationale scientific accounts about the place of the arts in medicine and how the rise of psychiatry fostered new opportunities for integrating the arts within health care. Finally, it considers how twentieth-century attitudes to medicine have provided the foundations for the field as it exists today. Situating modern-day practice within this historical context can shed new light on how the arts are perceived and valued within health.

Arts In Health

In recent decades, there has been an increasing number of national policy and strategy papers discussing arts in health in countries around the world. Some of this activity has been driven by national arts bodies, championing the value of the arts in health and wellbeing and advocating for their inclusion within core arts funding and practice. Other activity has been led by health bodies, including health departments within governments and health services themselves. This chapter explores some of the most influential documents and considers their implication for research and practice. It draws on case studies of activity within Ireland, the UK, the USA, Australia, and Nordic countries.
