AMORIM, Karla Patrícia Cardoso et al. Mediarte with Love and Humor: an Experience from the Participants’ Point of View. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.2, pp.294-301. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v39n2e01132014.

This is a report and a study about the MediArte, with Love and Humor Project, based on the author/student members’ experiences and perceptions. The project is an outreach activity of the UFRN (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte) involving medicine students. It aims to leverage humanization through the virtues of humor and love, by developing playful and recreational activities in the university pediatric hospital, involving patients, their companions and health care professionals in a process similar to clown-therapy interventions. It also seeks, among other aspects, to retrieve the smile and happiness of sick children and to promote humanized care. It is observed that the initiative represents a health education strategy, in which potentially interdisciplinary, humanizing and ethical theoretical and practical elements are developed, contributing toward a more comprehensive training of undergraduate students, as well as serving as an initiative for humanized care in the SUS.
