Abstract
The objectives of this study are to practice and evaluate an ‘Active Art’ program in pediatric care facilities. For the purposes of this study, ‘Active Art’ is defined as art works and art creations that encourage the movement to touch. In the ‘Nurse Call Art’ program, which is based on ‘Active Art’, the participants create a nurse call of clay and use their completed works to simulate communication with the nurse. The main color of their works was related to the color of their own working sheet, and the shape was related to the shape of the device. Since the participants’ works had eyes and a mouth similar to creatures, they were encouraged to maintain eye contact and converse with their works.
