Arts Based Health Care Research: A Multidisciplinary PerspectiveAuthor(s): Kathryn Hinsliff-Smith, Julie McGarry, Parveen Ali\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9783030944223, 978-3030944223\nSynopsis\nThis book, written by academics across a range of disciplines, including healthcare and social sciencesdiscusses the increasing use of the arts in healthcare research, which often stems from the recognition that for some topics of investigation, or when dealing with sensitive issues, the usual qualitative or quantitative paradigms are not appropriate. While there is undoubtedly a place for such approaches, arts-based research paradigms (ABR) offers,not only additional study and data-collection tools, but also provides a new and enjoyable experience for those involved.\nThe use of the arts as a medium to improve health and wellbeing was well documented by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 201.
