arts in healthcare

Arts in healthcare refers to the integration of artistic practices, such as visual arts, music, and dance, into medical settings to enhance patient care and well-being. Research shows that engaging with the arts can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote healing. This approach may involve art therapy sessions, music during procedures, or aesthetic hospital environments. By fostering creativity and expression, arts in healthcare aim to support emotional and psychological health, alongside traditional medical treatments, creating a more holistic approach to patient care.
