Durch kunstbasierte Wissensübersetzung (KWÜ) werden die Künste genutzt, um Forschungswissen an Zielgruppen zu vermitteln mit dem Ziel, Empathie zu vertiefen, einen Dialog zu entfachen und zu forschungsbasierter Politik und Handlung in verschiedenen Forschungskontexten anzuregen. In dem hier beschriebenen Projekt, der Entwicklung einer Kunstausstellung, wurden KWÜ-Aktivitäten, die von einer Künstler*innen-Forscher*innen-Kooperation unterstützt wurden, eingesetzt, um eine Vielzahl von Bildungszielgruppen für den Klimawandel zu begeistern. Um die Ergebnisse der Kunstausstellung zu beleuchten, zeigen wir unter Verwendung des interdisziplinären Vier-Phasen-Planungsrahmens von KUKKONEN und COOPER (2019) KWÜ in Aktion. Wir machen den Rahmen greifbar für Forscher*Innen, die an kunstbasierten Ansätzen interessiert sind, und teilen mit ihnen, was wir über die Anwendung von KWÜ gelernt haben, um das Publikum mit Forschung im Bereich des Klimawandels und der Bildung für Umweltgerechtigkeit zu beschäftigen. Wir schließen mit Vorschlägen für den Aufbau von Kooperationen zwischen Künstler*innen und Forscher*innen und für die Einbeziehung des Spielerischen in KWÜ.
Arts-based knowledge translation (ABKT) leverages the arts to communicate research knowledge to target audiences with the aim of deepening empathy, sparking dialogue, and inspiring research-informed policy and action within diverse research contexts. In the project we describe here, the development of an art exhibit, ABKT activities supported by an artist-researcher collaboration were used to engage a variety of education audiences with climate change. Utilizing KUKKONEN and COOPER's (2019) interdisciplinary four-phase planning framework to illuminate the outcomes of the art exhibit, this article helps to show ABKT in action. We make the framework tangible for researchers interested in arts-based approaches and share what we learned about applying ABKT to engage audiences with research in the area of climate change and ecojustice education. We conclude with suggestions for building artist-researcher partnerships and embracing playfulness in ABKT.

Genre pedagogy in higher education : the SLATE project
\"This book describes the linguistic and pedagogical dimensions of a large action research project that deployed and extended the current work on genre pedagogy to an on-line learning environment. In particular, it explores how genre-based pedagogy can be used to support the academic literacy development of non-English speaking background (NESB) students in tertiary educational institutions to develop their academic literacy practice. The book reports on work with the Department of Chinese, Translation & Linguistics (CTL) and the Department of Biology and Chemistry (BCH) in a 2-year project called the SLATE (Scaffolding Literacy in Academic and Tertiary Environments) project. It includes theoretically and practically-oriented material that can serve the needs of researchers and practitioners engaged with the literacy development of tertiary students in both English-speaking and non-English speaking countries\"-- Provided by publisher.
Metaphors in the Making: Illuminating the Process of Arts-Based Health Research Through a Case Exemplar Linking Arts-Based, Qualitative and Quantitative Research Data
2021
Background:
The potentials of arts-based health research are increasingly being realized as an approach to understanding and communicating the complexities of the human experience of health and illness. Despite this, arts-based health research often remains shrouded in obscurity, limiting its potential utility. Arts-based health research offers unique opportunities to integrate evidence of patients’ lived experience with other forms of research evidence to improve understanding and knowledge translation, but transparent descriptions of this praxis are generally lacking. In response, this article offers methodological insight and guidance through an in-depth case exemplar of an arts-based health research process linking qualitative research with diverse evidence sources in the context of frailty research.
Methods:
Responding to research data generated within a Centre of Research Excellence in Frailty and Healthy Ageing, we adopted a researcher-as-practitioner stance to produce research-based artworks to integrate and communicate conflicting research findings. We structure this process according to Ecker’s seven domains of qualitative inquiry, demonstrating parallels between the arts-based research and qualitative inquiry processes and offering opportunities for engaging with “evidence misalignments” resulting from incongruent evidence sources.
Findings:
Arts-based health research can enable meaningful reflection upon, integration, and communication of “evidence-misalignments” in research spanning the health and social sciences. Such misalignments are problematic when the lived experience of health and illness conflicts with other empirical evidence, including gold standard evidence guiding treatment decisions. These in turn, can function as plausible barriers to self management and to achievement of health outcomes.
Interpretation:
Through the researcher-as-practitioner lens, and with an orientation to production, this work engaged with a new means of materiality—one that extends beyond text and numerical representations—and whose meaning and connections may not be immediately apparent. These relationships change how the researchers-practitioner engages with, understands, explores, and represents concepts, enabling epistemological and ontological gains of benefit to the health and social sciences.

The imperative demands placed on modern business management necessitate the exploration of novel approaches to adapt, innovate, and ensure effectiveness and efficiency. The integration of art into business management aligns with this rationale, indicating a trend towards art's incorporation into various managerial dimensions. As a discipline primarily focused on understanding managerial practices, management science has been investigating the utilization of art in the workplace since the early 2000s. The subject of art in the business environment has garnered various names and significant attention as a major trend. Through bibliometric analysis, we can characterize the evolution of scientific production and map the prevailing ideas in this field. By examining a sample of 69 articles retrieved from the Scopus database, this study lays the foundation for structuring art-based managerial thinking, while acknowledging certain limitations that may guide future research endeavors.

Effects of Arts-Based Pedagogy on Competence Development in Nursing: A Critical Systematic Review
2024
The integration of arts-based methods into nursing education is a topic of growing interest in nursing practice. While there is an emerging body of research on this subject, evidence on competence development remains vague, largely due to methodological weaknesses. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of arts-based pedagogy in nursing, specifically in terms of students’ changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It explores which arts-based approaches to nursing education qualify as evidence-based practice in terms of nursing competence. A systematic critical review of research on arts-based pedagogy in nursing was conducted, identifying 43 relevant studies. These studies were assessed for methodological quality based on the CEC Standards for evidence-based practice, and 13 high-quality comparative studies representing a variety of arts-based approaches were selected. Creative drama was identified as the only evidence-based practice in the field, positively affecting empathy. The findings highlight a research gap in nursing education and emphasize the need for measurement and appraisal tools suitable for the peculiarities of arts-based pedagogy.

The use of arts‐based methodologies and methods with young people with complex psychosocial needs: A systematic narrative review
2023
Background Arts‐based methodologies and methods (ABM) can elicit rich and meaningful data with seldom‐heard groups and empower participants in research. Young people with complex psychosocial needs could be better engaged in research using arts‐based approaches to overcome communication and literacy issues as well as distrust of those with power, including researchers. A critical review of the use and impact of ABM among this population is timely. The purpose of this review is to synthesize and examine the experience and use of ABM with young people with complex psychosocial needs. Methods A systematic narrative literature review was conducted with a search of the literature from 2009 to 2021. All s were reviewed independently by two authors and full papers were screened for eligibility against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data synthesis focused on a descriptive numerical summary and a thematic analysis focused on key patterns across papers relating to the review objectives. Results and Discussion A total of 25 papers were included. The most common issues of focus were mental health (n = 10) and homelessness (n = 11) and methods using Photovoice (n = 12) and Body Mapping (n = 5). Individual interview data (n = 20) were the most commonly analysed, followed by created works (n = 19). Less than half the studies involved young people in the interpretation of the data collected. Knowledge translation was not described in almost half the studies, with public exhibits (n = 7) and forums with service providers (n = 4) being the most common activities. Key themes across the studies were valued over traditional methods in eliciting data, ABM as an approach to engage these young people in research and the impact of the use of ABM on participants and on key stakeholders through knowledge translation. Conclusions The growing field of ABM presents opportunities to enhance research with young people with complex psychosocial needs by promoting meaningful exploration of experiences, engaging participants in research and strengthening knowledge translation. The involvement of young people in the interpretation of data and ensuring that knowledge translation occurs are key areas for future attention. Patient or Public Contribution The findings of this review will inform future research to improve the engagement of young people with complex psychosocial needs in research and promote power sharing between researchers and research participants.

Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) significantly reduces quality of life (QoL), but data regarding the extent of its impact is sparse. Questionnaire‐based assessments of QoL may neglect aspects of complex patient experiences. Recent studies on asthma patients and other chronic conditions have used self‐expression through artwork to better depict patients' experiences. This study aims to analyze the experience of living with CRS by exploring common characteristics represented within artworks. Methods A prospective qualitative arts‐based study was conducted. Adults with CRS were included (n = 16). Disease severity and depression and anxiety were graded using standardized scales. Patient experience was evaluated using drawings and semi‐structured interviews. ChatGPT‐4, a generative large‐language model, was used to interpret interview transcripts according to the Common‐Sense Model for Self‐Regulation to identify themes. Results Analysis of artworks through interviews identified six main themes: “chronicity and adaptation,” “impacts,” “emotional toll,” “healthcare navigation and advocacy,” “resilience and personal growth,” and “complexity and nuance.” These reveal in greater detail a multifaceted and contradicting emotional landscape shaped by chronic illness. For patients who scored high on depression and anxiety scales, the emotional toll and impacts were more prominently depicted in interviews. Compared with similar studies conducted in patients with asthma, these results highlight the more prevalent difficulties of navigating the healthcare system for patients with CRS. Conclusion An arts‐based methodology enables in‐depth exploration of the impact of CRS on QoL, using large language models, a type of artificial intelligence, to identify common themes amongst individual experiences of CRS patients. Summary CRS impacts quality‐of‐life through its effects on physical, social, and cognitive function and often manifests as a conflicting emotional landscape. Our findings underscore several clinical implications including a need for integrated psychological support within the care framework for CRS patients and for patient‐centered care models that encourage patient involvement in decision‐making.
