Abstract

The complexity of the nurse's work is challenging and has an impact on an individual's emotional and physical health, impacting well-being. Arts programing for healthcare providers offers an opportunity for creativity and self-expression that allows them to integrate their experiences and emotions instead of carrying them into their workplace or home (State of the Field Committee, 2009). Art can also enhance healthcare clinicians' mental health and well-being, reducing stress, awakening creativity, and increasing a sense of community.
