Benefits of Haiku for Care of Patients by Nursing Students in Japan

Haiku is a simple and effective way for expressing and evoking emotion. This nursing tool can promote opportunities for dialogue among patients and can be helpful for opening communication lines between students. Nursing students expressed their desire to "comfort" and "encourage" patients by writing 17-syllable short poemshaiku-for the patients. Later, patients suffering from anxiety and mental stress wrote haiku to convey their emotions. This case study suggests that haiku has benefits for care of patients by nursing students. Study Sample (Case): 14 students, 14 patients, and 19 pieces of haiku. Method: Research was conducted with a way of qualitative inductive study. Data were collected from particularity observation and interviews. Results and Observations: The patients were encouraged to take an active part in their rehabilitation exercises and were highly motivated by haiku written for them. They expressed their feelings by saying, "I got highly motivated," "I feel grateful," and "I was given hope." The nursing students were able to deepen their interactions with their patients by writing haiku as a form of communication. These results show that haiku is not only a form of culture and art but also a form of communication, which consists of 17 syllables to express various emotions. Exchanging haiku can be seen as an act that introduced a communication effect into the caring process. Students could interact positively with patients and enjoy satisfactory and lasting relationships.
