Category	Theme (frequency)	Quotes
What they appreciated about the EFAT	Recognizing and expressing one’s feelings (18)	I reflected on/expressed my inner self/emotions. I was able to understand my feelings by writing them down. It was an opportunity to talk openly. I let out my worries and negative emotions that I was unaware of. I came to know why I was anxious.
	Understanding colleagues better and supporting each other (12)	I was able to understand my colleagues better. I determined that my colleagues’ grievances were similar to mine. We gave each other feedback. We comforted each other using a heart bandage. Sharing my feelings with colleagues gave me strength.
	Mind became lighter (6)	My mind became lighter, and I became more energized. I experienced a lot of change in a short time. I experienced peace of mind in my tiring life. My exhausted mind was restored. I felt lighter by blowing my negative emotions into the balloons. I let out the burden that was buried deep inside.
	The EFAT was helpful (4)	The atmosphere was good, and there were many activities that I could engage in. It was my first time receiving art therapy, but I was able to participate easily without experiencing any burden.
What they thought could be improved about the EFAT	Participant composition (6)	It will be more effective if participants are grouped into specialists and residents, separated by residency year, or classified by mental wellbeing. One-on-one art therapy.
What they thought could be improved about the EFAT	Art therapy content (3)	I would like to try all the good emotion cards. I would like to blow out the balloons to the fullest point. I would like to have more time to discuss the tree drawings.
