Abstract
The use of arts based research methods is developing and began to develop in the field of health as a form of knowledge transfer in an effective and affective way to reach the convenient audience involved. This paper aims to identify examples of creative-artistic production of scientific results, both in general and in the specific topic of aging and / or end of life. Furthermore it presents and analyzes a short story created to disseminate among health professionals the results of a qualitative study about the meaning of good practices in home care to the elderly. Finally, reflections arising leave open the future discussion of alternatives to disseminate
science to society, which might be less known and transgressive but potentially valid.
