Abstract
This mixed-methods study, with a qualitative focus, examined the feasibility of integrating art prompts centered on the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) model into a narrative medicine protocol to enhance nurse resilience. Nine participants across two cohorts completed a 4-week asynchronous online workshop in 2022. While quantitative results showed no statistically significant changes, qualitative results underscored the intervention’s feasibility and practical benefits. Participants found art prompts to be a novel method for self-expression, reflection, and group support. The 15-minute art prompts fostered positive emotions, sensory engagement, and meaning-making, aligning with the PERMA model. Healthcare organizations with existing narrative medicine programs can incorporate art prompts to promote healthcare worker resilience.
