Art education is one of the areas of the curriculum in the development of various individual characteristics and capabilities. Art, with its profound impact and appeal, can serve as an effective tool for gaining a deeper understanding of basic medical science courses, including anatomical sciences (anatomy, histology, and embryology). The study was designed to assess the influence of creative painting on the teaching of anatomical sciences, emphasizing a social, individual, and spiritual approach to encourage forward-thinking and imaginative skills in medical students. It seems that when students of medical sciences become familiar with the clinical considerations and personal, social, and spiritual consequences of the subject while teaching their course material, they will try to learn the material more accurately and multi-dimensionally.

Materials and methods:

 The present research-educational study was designed with a qualitative-quantitative approach and in it the art of painting was used as an educational intervention. At first, after the introduction of anatomical sciences and the presentation of the objectives of the lesson, interested medical and pharmacy students of Ramsar Medical Sciences Campus were asked to choose a topic from anatomical sciences in a group or individually. Then, by connecting it with the clinical points in the textbooks, the following personal, social, and spiritual challenges are displayed by maintaining the scientific content in the form of a purposeful painting. After several meetings about the topics, the paintings meeting the desired criteria were selected and the paintings were displayed to the public. During the exhibition, the correctness of the way of conveying the target message was interpreted and analyzed from the point of view of the audience. Finally, the attractiveness of education and the level of learning among students were investigated. The evaluation of the results was done in two quantitative and qualitative methods, and in the quantitative method, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The quantitative part was descriptive-analytical and the qualitative part was based on content analysis. To check the validity of the conducted study, Anderson et al.'s five-step criteria including study validity, democratic validity, results validity, dialogue validity, and persuasive validity were used.

The results showed that the integration of art and education can be useful. Most of the students believed that with this method, the educational atmosphere was happier and more attractive for them (54%). 90% of students had increased learning of anatomical concepts. Students stated that they had more enthusiasm (81%) and motivation to learn (72%) lessons and learned the concepts of anatomical sciences in a more permanent way (63%). While learning the material, they were more curious to know, on the one hand, what clinical challenges are significant in the topic in question, and on the other hand, what social, personal, and spiritual consequences these problems will face the patient. All this made them more analytical thinking (79%). This method increased creativity (75%) and spirit of cooperation (75%) in most students, and 77% of students preferred it to other educational methods. Also, students' motivational, team, and communication skills increased by changing the study method and creating a multi-dimensional view of issues.

The use of creative drawing in the teaching of anatomical science concepts was able to encourage the students of medical sciences to learn and increase their enthusiasm by creating a happy and attractive educational environment, raising the spirit of teamwork in them and increasing creativity, communication skills, and analytical thinking in them.

Poor designing of these hospitals, ignoring physical and emotional needs of children, could deteriorate the conditions and lead to added harm for these children. The main purpose of this research is to diagnose practical, important factors which can promote the environmental quality of hospitalization for children by incorporating their ideas and emotions.

Methods and Materials:

 The research plan is qualitative and the implemented qualitative research plan is Thematic Analysis by Braun & Clarke Approach. The statistical population of the study is children between 7 to12, hospitalized in Imam Hossein Hospital in Esfahan. Sample size was carefully selected according to the purpose of the study to achieve Theoretical saturation. In order to grasp their idea of a qualified hospital room, the 40 paintings made by targeted children were then analyzed by Thematic Analysis and ATLAS-ti 7.

According to the findings focusing on children’s perceptions and ideas, it was realized that the quality of hospital room is influenced by five factors including; items and features located in room, visual effects, practical attractions, personalized environment and rearranging the accepted order of the environment.

According to the outcomes of the research, it was concluded that by improving the details and items located in rooms and creating visual and practical attractions as well as reducing limitations for children with the purpose of allowing them personalize their environment, the quality of hospitalization environment could be enhanced to a great extent. Their ideas supported the interactive approach required in determining influential factors on the quality of architecture.

Painting therapy has been widely used and although it has yielded positive results in clinical practice, it has rarely been researched. Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of painting therapy based on mindfulness on emotional expression in female students with test anxiety disorder.

The present study was a quasi-experimental research and the statistical population of the research was all female students in the middle school in the 9th district of Tehran during the academic year 2021-2022, among which 30 girls (15 girls in both the control group and the experimental group) were selected using convenience sampling method and random assignment. The experimental group was trained in painting therapy based on mindfulness (10 sessions of 60 minutes). The control group did not receive any training. In this study, the Test Anxiety Inventory of Abolghasemi et al., the Emotional Expression Questionnaire of King and Emmons, and the Mindfulness-Based Painting Therapy Protocol of Seyedesmaili Ghomi et al. were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and multivariate analysis of covariance were applied to analyze the data.

The results showed that painting therapy based on mindfulness was effective in modulating emotional expression in the post-test phase (p<0.001). The eta square showed that 0.681 of the variance of positive emotion expression, 0.632 of the variance of intimacy , and 0.695 of the variance of negative emotion expression were caused by the experimental conditions.

Based on the findings of the present research, it is recommended to use painting therapy based on mindfulness as a psychological intervention to improve the mental and physical conditions of children with test anxiety.

Adolescents are the main body of experts in different scientific, technological, and artistic fields in every country. A healthier society needs healthy adolescents, and psychological health is an important dimension of adolescents` health. Although the Internet has brought many valuable changes to people's lives, some users are becoming addicted to this tool and using it incorrectly. They have been intensely preoccupied with using the Internet, spent excessive time online, felt that the world without the Internet is boring, and decreased social interaction with real people. These activities are commonly referred to as Internet addiction. Adolescents are considered a high–risk group for Internet addiction. In addition to internet addiction, depression is a common problem in today's adolescents which can be considered part of the negative effects of Internet addiction or caused by other unrelated reasons. Therefore, effective and enjoyable interventions for this age group seem necessary. The present study aimed to compare the effect of participation in art and sports courses on depression and Internet addiction in adolescents aged 13 to 17 years.

The present quasi–experimental has a pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all those who referred to 5 centers of summer arts and sports classes. Among these people, 45 adolescents (21 girls and 24 boys) with a mean age of 14.88 ± 1.44 years were purposefully recruited. Based on the results of the Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998) and the Beck Depression Inventory–II (Beck et al., 1996), they had mild Internet addiction symptoms and mild to moderate depression. The subjects were then divided into 3 groups of 15 people each: one group participated in a painting class (arts group), and the other group participated in girls' aerobics class and boys' soccer (sports group) for 4 weeks (3 sessions of 1 hour per week). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for data analysis. In this way, the descriptive indices of average and standard deviation were used to show the characteristics of the subjects. At the level of inferential statistics, 1–way analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and Bonferroni post hoc test were performed in SPSS version 22 software at a significance level of α=0.05.

The analysis of covariance showed a significant difference between all three groups in the posttest scores of depression (p=0.002). This test also confirmed a significant difference between the three groups in the posttest scores of Internet addiction (p<0.001). The Bonferroni post hoc test showed that participation in sports courses had a significant effect on improving depression and reducing Internet addiction compared to the control group (depression: p=0.002; Internet addiction: p=0.004). In addition, this test showed a significant improvement in depression and a reduction in Internet addiction among adolescents 13 to 17 years of age after attending an art course (depression: p=0.019; Internet addiction: p<0.001). In addition, the results showed that participation in art course than sports course had a more significant effect on reducing subjects' internet addiction (p=0.038).

Based on the research findings, participating in art and sports courses reduced Internet addiction and improved depression in adolescents 13 to 17 years of age, and art course had a more positive effect on decreasing Internet addiction.

Heavy metals in chemical paints pollute the environment, including the refineries and painting workshops air, and can damage the workerschr('39') health. The level of knowledge and information of the workers in painting workshops with the harms of heavy metals is effective in improving their safety. The present study  investigated the knowledge, attitude and practice of activists working in the refining and painting workshop about the damages of heavy metals on their health in Yazd city.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 40 workers in the refining and painting workshop in Yazd city. Demographic information, knowledge, attitude and practice of individuals were collected with a 37-item questionnaire. Data analysis was performed by Kolmogorov Smirnov and Spearman tests with SPSS ver 20 statistical software.

The mean age of the considering subjects was 41.8 ± 10.43 years, which nearly 90% of the participants in the study had under university education. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude and practice of the participants were 1.59 ± 0.38, 2.57 ± 0.41 and 1.89 ± 0.34, respectively. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between age and education with the variables of knowledge and attitude (p> 0.05) but There was (p <0.05) a significant and positive correlation between the variables of age (r = 0.555) and work experience (r = 0.542) with the performance of employees, also the familiarity degree of painters with the harms of heavy metals on their health was low.

Due to the adverse effects of heavy metals on human health and the low level of awareness, attitude and practice of workers in painting workshops, It is recommended to maintain the workerschr('39') health, increase their awareness about the presence of heavy metals, storage these metals in body tissue, and knowledge of their performance to use the personal protective equipment during painting.

Despite the physical limitations encountered by individuals with visual impairments, there is ample evidence of the group's emotional connection to the act of painting. Blind individuals receive no visual data to understand the surrounding world. This is because they lack sight; through other senses, they perceive and visualize the surrounding world. This population lacks a sense of sight; thus, mental imagery replaces any visual imageries. Individuals with visual loss create an image in their minds by analyzing sounds, smells, and tactile analysis of objects and their surroundings. Thus, their paintings represent an embodiment of the world around them. The current study aimed to analyze the paintings of individuals with vision loss using a formalist approach.

Initially, a summary of formalist critique concepts is presented. Then, the main features of blind arts are described based on the findings of field observations. Next, these data are analyzed from the perspective of a formalist critique. The statistical population of this study was 10 individuals with visual loss, aged 12–18 years. In one year, 10 paintings were selected among their works; accordingly, a total of 100 paintings were studied as a case studies sample. The quantitative data were analyzed based on visual characteristics, such as point, line, surface, volume, texture, color, scale, dimension, and formalistic load movement. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and per theoretical knowledge.

The present research results suggested that in the paintings of the examined individuals, the colors were mainly used in pure form and the main colors, including yellow, blue, and red (73%); the paintings were prominent and textured (85%); the frequency of dots was higher than straight lines (67%); their paintings were often drawn in two dimensions (87%); the extent of the observance of real proportions in their works equaled 42%, the movement was observed in their works (58%), and the use of light shadows in their works was very limited (15%). Furthermore, the 12 features of the visual analysis extracted from blind paintings with an emphasis on 9 visual features, including point, line, surface, volume, texture, color, scale, dimension, movement can be cited and form–based. These characteristics consisted of transparency, low detail and representation of the whole subject, movement and rhythm, mental realism, symbol and symbol, abstract basis, co–institution, lack of perspective, descriptive point of view, composition, color, and deformation.

The images and forms used in the painting of the examined participants, regardless of the representation of objects, can also express thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The simplicity of lines and shapes in the painting of the individuals with vision loss, and features such as lack of proportion, transparency, as well as the explicit and direct transmission of the message in their painting, are of particular interest.

The eyes are a rich source of information in our daily lives. Using the eye as a form of input can enable a computer system to learn more. Users can use eye-tracking as a form of input in addition to the keyboard and mouse.

In this study, a system was developed for experiencing eye painting through eye-tracking. The system was a digital painting software that receives data through the eye-tracking device and provides a graphical output. To evaluate this experience, people with a common design background were invited to to describe the quality of their experience.

Despite the difficulty of controlling the eye and lacking sufficient proficiency to draw in this way, participants described the experience as pleasant and enjoyable and expressed their desire to work in this environment.

No regard to the type of the painting output, the participants find tge approach novel and were interested in continuing working with the software.

Coping skill is defined as the ability to understand and control one’s emotions and characteristics and is the foundation of emotional management. Various studies have indicated the effect of painting on increasing coping skills. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of training coping skills together with painting on multidimensional health locus of control among orphan adolescents.
This semi-experimental randomized controlled trial was conducted on 80 orphan adolescents within the age range of 12 to 18 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. The intervention group received training about coping skills and painting. The data were collected using coping skills questionnaire, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC), Internal Health Locus of Control (IHLC), Powerful others Health Locus of Control (PHLC), and Chance Health Locus of Control (CHLC) scales with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85. Data collection was performed one and six weeks after the intervention. Then, the data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software, version 19.
After the intervention, the scores of coping skills (34.55.04) and IHLC scale significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group (p

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the most common neuro-developmental disorder in childhood which leads to problems in social skills as well as family life.

In order to analyze data, statistical method of covariance was used. The result showed that social skills significantly increased in the experimental group (P The results showed that art therapy can be used as an suitable method in improving social skills in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Cancer causes some unpleasant physical and psychological impact on patients leading to anxiety and mental health problems. Using drawing is a good way as a method of therapy for dealing with mental disorders in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of painting on anxiety in children with cancer A sample of children with cancer was selected and those who showed symptoms of anxiety were entered into the study. Then the anxious children were divided into two groups in block random. The intervention included sixth sessions of painting during the second, third and fourth days of admission to hospital in the morning and evening and each lasted for 1 hour. Children completed the post-intervention questionnaire. A significant reduction in anxiety was observed (P= 0.0001). The mean obvious anxiety score in pre-intervention was 69.45 ± 10.75 and after the intervention, it was 48.30 ± 2.13. Average hidden anxiety before the intervention was 64.15 ± 6.12 and after the intervention it was 48.6 ± 4.17. Painting could reduce anxiety in inpatient children with cancer.

People with schizophrenia continuous type (previously labeled as chronic), constitute the majority of inpatients in rehabilitation wards. These patients, apart from the characteristic signs and symptoms of schizophrenia, suffer from anxiety. This anxiety, not influenced by antipsychotic medications, can be a part of the schizophrenia per se, but it may be due to the unfavorable frame and quality of life in mental hospital wards. Every attempt in decreasing the anxiety of these patients, can be regarded as a step toward a more perfect treatment and rehabilitation plan, and elevating the quality of their lives. In this research the application of drawing and painting as a method to decrease the anxiety of these patients was evaluated. 100 schizophrenic patients (according to DSM-IV criteria) who were hospitalized in long stay rehabilitation wards of Razi psychiatric center for at least 2 years, entered the research procedure. Their anxiety level was measured by the Cattel anxiety questionnaire. 50 patients, who were selected as experimental group, had 15 one hour sessions of drawing and painting. For the remainder 50 patients who were the control group, various neutral activities (as placebo) were performed, during those hours. Medications were unchanged during the research. After the 15th session the anxiety levels of patients were evaluated for the second time. The scores obtained in the first and second evaluations in each group and between two groups were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. In comparing the mean scores obtained from the first and second measurements in experimental group by applying the t-test (in correlated groups), the difference was statistically significant (t=67.5, P<0.0l). Sessions of drawing and painting with appropriate duration and frequency can significantly diminish the anxiety in long stay schizophrenic patients in rehabilitation wards.
