AI Article Synopsis
- Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) is an expressive arts program that enhances student attitudes towards individuals with dementia, highlighting the importance of understanding this shift for educators and clinicians.
- The study involved 111 medical students from six schools, who participated in OMA between 2018-2020 and wrote about how the program impacted their future medical practice.
- Analysis of student narratives revealed themes showing that OMA offered unique and practical experiences, suggesting that integrating artistic expression with medical knowledge can improve interactions with challenging patients, which is often neglected in medical education.
Article Abstract
Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) is a standardized expressive arts-based program that improves student attitudes toward persons living with dementia. Understanding how this change occurs is important for both educators and clinicians. In this study, narrative analysis was used to explore the impact of OMA on participating medical students. 111 students at six medical schools accepted an invitation to be part of OMA during the 2018-2020 academic years. After completing the program, participants were asked to write briefly about the impact of their OMA experience on their work as future physicians. These narratives were analyzed to identify themes relevant to the impact of the program. Students described appreciating both pragmatic and novel creative experiences in OMA, which differed from their traditional studies. Themes from the evaluation included: ; ; ; and . Teaching students to embrace clinical work with challenging and perceived "difficult" patients is often unaddressed in the medical school curriculum. This study suggests that the combination of medical knowledge and artistic expression can be used to benefit both students and persons living with dementia.

Background: Recent advancements in virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback (BF) technologies have opened new avenues for breathing training. Breathing training has been suggested as an effective means for mental disorders, but it is difficult to master the technique at the beginning. VR-BF technologies address the problem of breathing, and visualizing breathing may facilitate the learning of breathing training.

Healthcare professionals can be sources of stigma for people with mental illness. Ambulance personnel are often the first healthcare providers that people with mental illness encounter during physical and mental health crises and their attitudes may be influenced by misconceptions and stereotyping views. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of ambulance personnel toward people with mental illness using the Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC) and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Background: The MANTA vascular closure device (VCD) represents a novel approach to achieving hemostasis after large-bore femoral access procedures. Numerous clinical studies have evaluated the efficacy of the MANTA device across a range of patient populations undergoing different procedures. However, there is still a paucity of data available concerning the use of MANTA devices in aiding the decannulation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).

As recently as the 1980s, it was not uncommon for paediatric surgeons to operate on infants without anaesthesia. Today, the same omission would be considered criminal malpractice, and there is an increased concern with the possibility of consciousness in the earliest stage of human infancy. This concern reflects a more general trend that has characterised science since the early 1990s of taking consciousness seriously.
