RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that has been entered into the philosophy of education for a long time. Reviewing the concept of aesthetics in education, we can see the components that can cover a number of challenges in the field of patient education. Focusing on the conceptual dimensions obtained from the analysis of this concept, the aim is matching the resulting conceptual categories with the gaps in the field of patient education. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a scoping review, we reviewed the literature dealt with different dimensions of aesthetic-based education. Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to inductively analyze the content obtained from the review of literature. The data were divided into three general groups of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the aesthetic-based education concept, and the final conceptual model was defined. Interdisciplinary comparisons between educational and medical sciences were made to match the concept of aesthetic education with the field of patient education to cover its issues. During the scope review process of the texts, after screening the articles, 17 articles selected to enter the concept analysis stage. RESULT: Concept analysis phase showed that the main conceptual categories of antecedents of aesthetic-based education are aesthetic-based intrapersonal competencies and aesthetic capacities of educational setting. The attributes include aesthetic-based educational content and teaching methods including unity in diversity, combination with art and being based on empathy. The consequences include subliminal learning and constraint-free learning. These conceptual dimensions can cover four important issues in patient education including patient satisfaction, pedagogical competences of health educators, patient centeredness, and empathetic relationship. CONCLUSION: Applying aesthetic concept in the patient education process can bridge part of the gaps in this process. So, this study can be an introduction to future innovative models based on aesthetic paradigm in the field of patient education.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: According to the significance of patient education, new conceptual models are constantly required to promote pedagogical competences of health educators. In the field of educational sciences, aesthetic-based education is known as one of the effective types of curriculum planning which has shown many positive pedagogical outcomes. Thus, the researcher's assumption is that, the concept of "aesthetic education" could be transposed from educational sciences to health sciences in order to develop a new formula in the patient education process. The purpose of this study is to explain methods in detail, to develop an aesthetic-based patient education conceptual model through the concept derivation strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 1. Scoping review and inductive data analysis using Walker and Avant's approach to achieve conceptual categories of the concept "aesthetic education." 2. Semi-structured qualitative interviews and directed content analysis to extract the main categories of the concept "aesthetics in the patient education process." 3. Drawing an aesthetic-based patient education conceptual model by allocating new conceptual components to each general step of the patient education process, including needs assessment, goal setting, implementation, and evaluation. 4. Modified Delphi technique to validate the final conceptual model. RESULTS: The first phase will represent the main categories and subcategories of attributes, antecedents, and consequences of "aesthetic education." The second phase will show the main categories and subcategories of attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the new concept named "aesthetic-based patient education." In the third phase, it is expected to achieve a new conceptual model representing the components of aesthetics in the general steps of the patient education process. The fourth phase will propose the final validated conceptual model. CONCLUSIONS: The provided study protocol can be a road map to developing derivative models through concept derivation strategy in health sciences.
