    Abstract The medical humanities have the potential to develop empathy in junior doctors through perspective taking and critique of deep-seated beliefs. An education intervention to develop empathy was integrated into an internal medicine residency curriculum in Singapore. All junior residents currently in the programme were invited to participate in individual interviews after the humanities sessions. Data collected was analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. A total of three sessions were conducted over one year from April 2020. Two participants were recruited successfully for the study. A total of 4 interviews were completed and themes relating to the role of the humanities in empathy education, barriers to its implementation, and cynicism to the sessions were elicited. The results provided insight about how residents experienced a novel humanities-based postgraduate medical education program. However, the low recruitment is a major limitation in this study and data collected may not be confidently interpreted. There is still significant work needed to create greater awareness about the role of the humanities in medical education and research. Improvement in the pandemic situation may also improve participation in future studies.

    Abstract Introduction: Physician empathy is declining due to an unproportionate focus on technical knowledge and skills. The medical humanities can counter this by allowing connection with our patients. This is a pilot study that aims to investigate the acceptability, efficacy, and feasibility of a humanities educational intervention to develop physician empathy. Methods: Junior doctors at the Division of Supportive and Palliative Care at the National Cancer Centre Singapore between July 2018 and June 2019 attended two small-group sessions facilitated by psychologists to learn about empathy using literature and other arts-based materials. Feasibility was defined as a completion rate of at least 80% while acceptability was assessed by a 5-question Likert-scale questionnaire. Empathy was measured pre- and post-intervention using Jefferson’s Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE) and the modified-CARE (Consultation and Relational Empathy) measure. Results: Seventeen participants consented, and all completed the programme. Acceptability scores ranged from 18 to 50 out of 50 (mean 38, median 38). There was an increase in JSPE scores (pre-test mean 103.6, SD=11.0 and post-test mean 108.9, SD=9.9; t (17) =2.49, P=.02). The modified-CARE score increased between pre-test mean of 22.9(SD=5.8) and a post-test mean of 28.5(SD=5.9); t (17) = 5.22, P<0.001. Conclusion: Results indicate that the programme was acceptable, effective, and feasible. The results are limited by the lack of longitudinal follow-up. Future studies that investigate the programme’s effect over time and qualitative analysis can better assess its efficacy and elicit the participants' experiences for future implementation and refinement.

    Abstract Background: The interdisciplinary realm of medical humanities explores narratives and experiences that can enhance medical education for physicians through perspective-taking and reflective practice. However, there is a gap in comprehension regarding its appropriateness at the postgraduate level, especially when utilising art therapists as faculty. This study aims to assess the acceptability of an innovative art therapy-focused educational initiative among junior doctors during a palliative care rotation, with the goal of cultivating empathy and promoting well-being.
    Methods: A qualitative research project was conducted at the Division of Supportive and Palliative Care (DSPC) in the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS). The study involved the recruitment of junior doctors who had successfully completed a three-month palliative care rotation program, spanning from January 2020 to April 2021. In a single small-group session lasting 1.5 h, with 3 to 4 participants each time, the individuals participated in activities such as collage making, group reflection, and sharing of artistic creations. These sessions were facilitated by an accredited art therapist and a clinical psychologist, focusing on themes related to empathy and wellbeing. To assess the acceptability of the program, two individual interviews were conducted three months apart with each participant. An independent research assistant utilised a semi-structured question guide that considered affective attitude, burden, perceived effectiveness, coherence, and self-efficacy. Thematic analysis of the transcribed data was then employed to scrutinise the participants' experiences.
    Results: A total of 20 individual interviews were completed with 11 participants. The three themes identified were lack of pre-existing knowledge of the humanities, promotors, and barriers to program acceptability.
    Conclusions: The participants have mixed perceptions of the program's acceptability. While all completed the program in its entirety, the acceptability of the program is impeded by wider systemic factors such as service and manpower needs. It is vital to address these structural limitations as failing to do so risks skewing current ambivalence towards outright rejection of future endeavours to integrate humanities programs into medical education.
