Facial expressions in paintings as perceived by the student nurse.

The aim of the study was to develop an educational tool consisting of selections of paintings in order to complement theoretical knowledge regarding non-verbal communication. Another aim was to investigate students' opinions of the educational tool. A visual art programme which introduced student nurses to varying facial expressions in art reproductions was developed as a complement to textbooks on nonverbal communication. Participants were student nurses from two nursing schools in Sweden. Data were collected over a period of two years (1998-2000) in the second year of the 3-year undergraduate programme. Participants were able to infer whether a positive or negative message had been given to the depicted person. Participants' evaluations of the programme were expressed in positive terms.
