Documentary Film: Keepers of the House
In this 15-minute documentary film Keepers of the House, eight hospital housekeepers tell stories of singing or praying with patients on their wards, of providing encouragement and advice, and developing friendships that
continue beyond the period of the hospital stay. They describe the ways in which their work brings meaning to their lives, and the difficulties that they face upon the death of a patient whom they have come to know.
The film teaches lessons about empathy, humility, and teamwork, and is ideal for incorporation into medical education curricula related to interprofessionalism, empathic communication, and diversity and inclusion. It requires us to think about our
day-to-day interactions with hospital cleaners, and food service and transport workers. Recently, an article was published about the positive impact of the film on an interdisciplinary group of health care students: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tct.13439.
The article, which appeared in The Clinical Teacher, also suggests ways to use the film in an educational setting. The film itself can be viewed at https://sites.fhi.duke.edu/healthhumanitieslab/portfolio/keepers-of-the-house/
