Patients’ needs and preferences in developing Art-Based Learning in outpatient palliative cancer care: A qualitative study
Our study showed that the hospital and online museum are appropriate and accessible environments for an exhibition for ABL. A varied selection of artworks might contribute most to a meaningful experience. Furthermore, we identified the patients' need for a person-centered approach in ABL in palliative care, in which not only the facilitator, but also health care professionals play an important role.
