Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to enhance engagement, coping and self-reflection by attuning nurses to creative and observational skills drawn from a visual arts pedagogical framework. To fulfill this goal, the investigators will cultivate an existing relationship between NYU Langone Health (NYULH) Nursing, the NYU Health Sciences Library, and museum educators at The Met to design and deliver an intervention of museum educator-led workshops that introduce nurses to arts appreciation skills to improve their practice and overall wellbeing. Participants will be asked to complete two surveys, pre- and post-intervention, Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS), which measures cultural awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), which measures four separate aspects of empathy and its relationships with measures of social functioning, self-esteem, emotionality, and sensitivity to others. We will also solicit qualitative feedback via REDCap survey at the end of the intervention to gain insight into nurse's experiences of the art immersion program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in Cultural Awareness Scale (CAS) Score From Baseline to Month 6

  36-item questionnaire assessing cultural awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale (ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"). The total score ranges from 0-252. Lower scores indicate less cultural awareness, and higher scores indicate greater awareness.

  Baseline, Month 6

• Change in Clinical Interpersonal Reactivity Index (CIRI) Score From Baseline to Month 6

  27-item questionnaire evaluating empathy as a reaction in interpersonal relationships at the bedside. Items are ranked on a scale from 0-4, where 0 = does not describe me well; and 4 = describes me very well. The total score ranges from 0 to 108; higher scores indicate greater empathy.

Interventions

Visual Arts Immersion BEHAVIORAL

Museum educators from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) will provide a curriculum including an art immersion program that will select specific works/art in the museum as well as virtually that will help to stimulate self-reflection and prompt connection to their nursing practice. Participants will be asked to sign up for 2 art immersion classes. The first class will be an in-person class at The MET and the second class will be virtual via WebEx. Each class will last 60 minutes.
