The Art of Nursing

This study was conducted on one hospital ward. Nurses participated in a contemplative photography studio project and took photographs of what they thought was aesthetic in their everyday work world. Their photographs illustrate the 'beauty of the everyday' in their workplace. A small exhibit of their photos can be seen on Ward 7 A/B at the Victoria General Hospital in Victoria, BC.
Links between aesthetics and well-being were explored in this study, with the overall goal of enhancing the well-being of the participants, and thus, the well-being and health of the patients they care for.
