Abstract
This paper aims to describe a multi-modal, humanities-based set of workshops designed to improve nursing students ’ critical
thinking skills, perspective taking, and appreciation of the humanities. This workshop expands the Visual Thinking Strategiescurriculum to a multi-modal, arts-based program. Twenty-two nursing students participated in four, three-hour arts-based workshops.Program reactions were qualitatively analyzed. Following completion of the course, participants reported an appreciationfor the multi-modal arts-based program and recognized ways in which it might influence their performance on the job. Thecurriculum was perceived as beneficial by nursing students, with themes of metacognition and awareness/appreciation of othersbeing particularly salient.
