Abstract
JAIME-SILVA, Sandra; LOPEZ-MARTINEZ, Olivia and IZQUIERDO-RUS, Tomás. Wellbeing-oriented learning experiences. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.3, pp.101-105. Epub Oct 23, 2023. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.263.1278.
Introduction.
In medical education, well-being oriented teaching strategies are beginning to generate interest and artistic experiences, according to the literature, can be an alternative.
Materials and methods.
The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of the virtual elective course: ‘Well-being, art and health', in a medical school in Colombia, which took place during 2021-2022. We applied the methodology for the evaluation of programs in the health professions.
Results.
The learning activities sought: to change students' perception of the relationship between wellbeing, health and art; to generate reflective processes on the aesthetic and artistic experience; to promote understanding of the aesthetic experience and its impact on people's health; and to reflect on one's own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. Students' prior knowledge and experiences in relation to the wellbeing of self and others close to them are important for the understanding of the course content. The projects proposed by the students are related to own experiences and reflections on situations such as mental health problems and associated with medical study and practice.
Conclusions.
The study concludes that interest in self-care, transdisciplinarity and academic flexibility can benefit learning related to wellbeing.
