- The Role and Effectiveness of Narrative Medicine and Visual Arts Training on Emotional and Interpersonal Skills Among Medical Students and Physicians: A systematic ReviewPublication . Pereira, Maria Beatriz Catarino; Noronha, Margarida Lobo Antunes de Matos e; Sousa, Miguel Castelo Branco Craveiro deIntroduction: Narrative medicine and visual art analysis are emerging educational approaches to enhance empathy, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal skills in medical students and physicians. Despite their potential benefits, integration into medical curricula remains inconsistent, requiring further evaluation. Aim: To assess whether training in narrative medicine and visual art analysis improves empathy, communication, and observational skills, ultimately enhancing patient-doctor relationships and healthcare outcomes. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2020–2024), identifying 413 records. Rayyan software removed duplicates, yielding 365 studies. After screening, 21 studies met eligibility criteria. Risk of bias was assessed based on study design. Results: Studies were primarily conducted in North America and Europe, focusing mostly on pre-clinical and clinical medical students, with fewer targeting residents. Interventions included Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), narrative medicine, reflective writing, and theaterbased exercises. Findings showed improvements in observational skills, diagnostic accuracy, empathy, and communication, with visual arts training enhancing critical thinking and narrative medicine fostering emotional engagement. Discussion: Findings support integrating humanities-based education into medical training, linking narrative medicine to improved empathy and communication and visual arts training to better diagnostic skills. Some studies also reported reduced burnout and greater resilience. However, challenges included time constraints, inconsistent engagement, and integration difficulties. The lack of long-term follow-up raises concerns about sustained impact, and some participants experienced emotional fatigue. Conclusion: Arts and humanities-based education may enhance empathy, emotional intelligence, and clinical observation in medical professionals. However, variability in study design and limited long-term assessment highlight the need for further standardized research. Findings suggest that these approaches could help shape more compassionate, perceptive physicians, warranting further exploration.
