Evaluation of using a graphic novel Vivian in nursing curriculum from the perspectives of nurse educators: a three-country qualitative study
There is scope to use arts-based learning when engaging audiences from diverse backgrounds. The educators stressed Vivian could help students think 'outside of the box' and stressed the importance of a teaching and learning approach that extended beyond textbooks to include other interactive forms. Future research is needed to adapt and refine the graphic novel by considering social and cultural contexts and evaluate how the graphic novel is implemented in nurse education across different settings and countries.
