About

The purpose of this study is to enhance engagement, coping and self-reflection by attuning nurses to creative and observational skills drawn from a visual arts pedagogical framework. To fulfill this goal, the investigators will cultivate an existing relationship between NYU Langone Health (NYULH) Nursing, the NYU Health Sciences Library, and museum educators at The Met to design and deliver an intervention of museum educator-led workshops that introduce nurses to arts appreciation skills to improve their practice and overall wellbeing. Participants will be asked to complete two surveys, pre- and post-intervention, Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS), which measures cultural awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), which measures four separate aspects of empathy and its relationships with measures of social functioning, self-esteem, emotionality, and sensitivity to others. We will also solicit qualitative feedback via REDCap survey at the end of the intervention to gain insight into nurse's experiences of the art immersion program.
