Exploring the Promise of Improvisational Theatre Applications in Health Care: A Scoping Review
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the design, implementation challenges, and benefits of applied improvisational theatre programs in health care settings for various participant groups. Through a scoping review of 694 sources, they found that these programs often focus on enhancing communication, teamwork, and empathy, with a growing emphasis on supporting patients and caregivers, particularly in dementia care. The findings suggest that improvisational techniques have become a valuable tool for experiential learning in health care.
