Creative arts for hospitals: The UCLA experiment

Journal/Book: Patient Education and Counseling. 1993; 21: 101-110.

Abstract: Discusses 5 programs at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center/Cancer Center, which used arts interventions to reduce stress and facilitate coping with hospitalization. These experiences were well received by patients and nursing staff. Educational modules were developed so that others may learn from these program models. Constructive ideas based on the 7 yrs of operation are cited.
