Il fumetto tra interprofessionalità e lavoro emozionale dei professionisti sanitari

Within the framework of advancing the competencies of healthcare professionals via educational initiatives that incorporate innovative methodologies, this paper presents an exploration of utilizing comic strips in a professional master’s program as a conduit for introspection on interprofessional dynamics and the enhancement of certain communicative competencies. This study engaged fourteen nurses, whose ages ranged from 35 to 55 years and who were employed in hospital environments in Northern Italy, through their participation in the creation of comic strips and a concluding interview. The research was conducted over the period from November 2022 to May 2023. The examination of the findings, which included graphic representations and interview data, uncovered a daily professional existence marked by discord and paradoxes, yet unified under a shared professional designation.
