The 'Creative Drama and Leadership Training' program aimed to strengthen the communication skills of healthcare professionals, enhance their empathy, enable effective teamwork, increase resilience to stress, improve problem-solving abilities, and develop leadership and creativity skills. Participants in the training program not only enhanced their effective communication skills in an interactive and practical environment but also had the opportunity to successfully apply these skills in patient communication, team interaction, and communication with other healthcare professionals. This facilitated participants in establishing more empathetic connections with patients, contributing to more efficient collaboration within healthcare teams, and playing a more effective role in overall healthcare services.
The training provided an opportunity for participants to embody different roles and engage in various scenarios, contributing to the enhancement of empathy among healthcare workers. This, in turn, helped them establish better connections with patients and offer emotional support.
