🖼️ Radiation therapy in art - a fresh and insightful perspective in the JMRS! 🤗A new article in the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences explores how radiation therapy is portrayed across novels, poems, music, film, and visual art. These depictions can often evoke fear, mystery, and fascination which can shape how patients and the public understand and respond to this treatment.🤔🌍 With limited global awareness of what radiation therapy actually involves, this kind of analysis, completed by authors from the Netherlands is important! It helps us understand how different cultural influences can impact on public and patient perceptions.✨ The article also highlights positive opportunities - using creative approaches like bibliotherapy, expressive writing, and visual storytelling to help patients cope with the challenges of treatment. It’s a reminder that science and the humanities can work together to improve care! 📚 This isn’t your typical journal article, it’s innovative, accessible, and thought-provoking. Even if you don’t usually read academic papers, this one is worth a look - so head to the JMRS today - or over the long weekend for a bit of light reading towards your CPD! 😜Read it here: loom.ly/0Lrfa6U ...
