(Adnkronos) - Risignificare il valore degli spazi comuni vissuti quotidianamente da pazienti, familiari e personale sanitario, restituendo armonia ai luoghi, valorizzando le relazioni ed intervenendo con l’arte nelle camere di degenza, dove anche il minimo apporto è prezioso per il benessere degli ammalati. È questo l’obiettivo di ‘A cura dell’Arte’, progetto realizzato dai docenti e dagli studenti della Scuola di Decorazione dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli per il reparto di Ematologia Oncologica dell’Istituto Pascale, grazie al contributo della Regione Campania e al supporto dell’associazione Beatleukemia.org.

00:00Colors, abstract forms and creativity to transform the hospital environment and improve the quality of attendance.
00:11At the Pasquale di Napoli Institute, A Cura dell'Arte was born, a project that unites health and art,
00:17thanks to the collaboration between the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, the Campania region and the Viteleuchemia.org association.
00:24The initiative, strongly desired by Antonio Pinto, director of the Department of Hematology of the Pasquale di Napoli Institute,
00:35was born during the pandemic and has seen the direct involvement of patients who have chosen the subjects of the works,
00:41abstract images and bright colors to give a sense of harmony and hope.
00:46The metaphor of travel is very suitable, because you have to imagine our emergency rooms as wagons of a train,
00:55in which one does not necessarily have to enter by choice, but enters and then hopefully goes down to the next station,
01:04possibly in remission if not cured. So, on this metaphor of travel, on the wagons of the Metropolitana,
01:10you know that our Metropolitana is an object of art, it occurred to us, discussing with Professor Gaeta,
01:17to change the wagons, which are our emergency rooms, in which the patients do not necessarily have to stay,
01:26hoping that they will come out soon and well, and we used this very complex approach,
01:32which required an interaction between patients, students of the Academy of Fine Arts, psychologists,
01:39all that was ours, to bring out these images, at most abstract, which now adorn all the rooms of our emergency department.
01:49There is also an outside, of course, including the ceilings.
01:53A real teamwork between artists, doctors and psychologists, with the aim of humanizing the department and improving the comfort of the patients.
02:01A patient, in a particular way, wanted to tell it with an image.
02:06She said that she entered the hospital entrance with her head down, she did not want to see anyone,
02:14and that as soon as she entered the department, instead, she raised her head and was happy.
02:19We see the rest when they enter the department, and I will tell you, it also happens to us workers.
02:26Spontaneously, a smile is born.
02:28Art thus confirms a powerful tool of emotional and psychological support,
02:32capable of making hospitals new, less cold and more welcoming for everyone.
02:37It was a path that we also made complex, because behind each project of this type,
02:42there is also an administrative type of machine that must be organized and managed,
02:47but above all there is the need to meet and respect the sensitivities of the people who are involved in these places.
02:56By combining clinical excellence and attention to the human dimension of the disease,
03:00the Neapolitan Institute is confirmed as an example of advanced health,
03:04where the person is really at the center of the path of healing,
03:07through a global approach to healing and thanks to innovative drugs that are revolutionizing the treatment of lymphomas.
03:14We have been in Italy for a couple of years, a very new first-line therapy,
03:18which is based on a new drug called Polatuzumab,
03:22and today we are able to bring the ability to heal these patients with aggressive lymphoma to almost 70-75%.
03:32Today, fortunately, the scenario has completely changed,
03:36because while in the case of failure of the first line of therapy,
03:41in general we would resort to the autologous transplant of stem cells, which is still an option,
03:46but now we have the possibility of treating these patients in the subsequent lines of the first,
03:52with very new drugs that, in addition to the papers, are changing the scenario.
03:58The drugs that are changing it are those that are technically called bispecific antibodies,
04:04which in reality are drugs that drive the lymphocytes of the patient against the lymphoma.
