Taidetta ja taidepohjaisia menetelmiä käytetään yhä enemmän ammatillisessa kehittämisessä. Tässä tutkimuksessa kaksi taiteilijaa ohjasi taidetoimintaa 21 henkilökunnan jäsenelle kolmesta hoitolaitoksesta Suomessa: hoitokodista, muistisairaiden päivätoimintakeskuksesta ja organisaatiosta, joka tukee vaikeissa elämäntilanteissa olevia henkilöitä (esim. työttömyys tai arjen taitojen uudelleenoppiminen). Tärkeimpänä tavoitteena oli lisätä henkilökunnan työtyytyväisyyttä ja hyvinvointia. Aluksi henkilökunnan jäsenet suhtautuivat epäilevästi taidetoimintaan, mutta heidän asenteensa muuttuivat myönteisemmiksi heidän osallistuessaan taiteelliseen prosessiin. Haastattelut paljastivat, että toiminta vaikutti positiivisesti ryhmän henkeen, paransi yksilöiden hyvinvointia ja inspiroi henkilökuntaa tutkimaan uusia menetelmiä ammatillisissa rooleissaan. Monet osallistujat ehdottivat, että taidetoiminnasta voitaisiin tehdä säännöllinen osa työnohjausta heidän työpaikoillaan. Tulokset korostavat taiteilijoiden ja taidetoiminnan hyötyjen jatkotutkimuksen tärkeyttä hoitoalan organisaatioissa.
