Limited studies using art in diabetes
Nuvoli et. al. 1989• Youth age 10 to 15 years• Used “draw a sick person”,
• compared to control of well youth “draw a person” test.
• The “diabetic” youth • drew an image of “sick person” having projective elements, depressive signs
& retiring into themselves. • seemed less prone to the cultural stereotype requiring a smiling, happy
image of a “healthy person”, • had symbolic defense which allowed them to adapt & move from
anxiousness to psychological recovery.

Limited studies, cont.Harel et.al in 2013
• Used art therapy for youth with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes• Observed improved glucose control in 56% of the case group • (compared to 23% of the control group)
Nansell, Iannotti, and Liu, in 2012
12 to 14 year old age group studied for clinic intervention
• Clinic-integrated behavioral interventions for family of youth with diabetes had a significant overall effect

Our Art “event” @ Children’s of WI‐ Fox Valley
• Duration: August to December 2014
• Students given paper, crayons
• While clinic data entered into system, students were asked to draw:
• “If diabetes had a face, what would it look like?”
• As art was collected • Similarities were noted
• Literature review done: • limited data on art/diabetes
• Pictures divided into age groups:• 4‐8, 9‐12, 13‐15, 16‐20
• Nurse researchers evaluated art for complexity, expression, appliances, etc
Collaborate Cultivate Educate PENS 2015 National Conference
Results of preliminary study
• Evaluated 212 pictures
• Most common expression: neutral (consistent with mandatory “smile not required in youth with diabetes) Nuvoli, et al 1989
• Other “looks”:• smile• open mouth • frowns, unhappy • tears• corner of mouth tipped• half smile/frown
• All age groups contained expressions from each emotion: Neutral, happy, frown, sad, tears, tools
• Art: simple to complex• Detailed or not
• Common themes:• Eyes off center/uneven• Exaggerated features• Lows• “Devil” features• Non human• Body fluids: vomit, sweat, blood, “snot”
• Tools used for diabetes self‐care: syringe, meter, pump, poker, blood

Our next step• Exploratory study• Does art in clinic visit
– change over time– change peds QOL‐
diabetes scores– impact willingness to
attend clinic
• Does knowing they would draw at clinic visits impact home discussions about diabetes/feelings
• Does personality type impact peds QOL db, or willingness to attend clinic
• Most important– What do they say about their art?– An interview/evaluation of what their
art means to them
