The caregivers participated in the classes as individuals and care recipients.…”

Aim This study aimed to describe family caregivers of older people's experiences of participatory art interventions, including music, dance and visual arts. Design A descriptive qualitative study. Methods Thematic interviews were conducted with 12 family caregivers. Qualitative data were analysed with thematic analysis. Results The results illustrated the meaning of art groups, which included a shared feeling of togetherness, empowering and activating peer support and a sense of communality. Art groups also represented a hobby, enhancing caregivers' social and mental well‐being. The art groups could be described as an art‐driven, participatory shared experience. Participatory arts are noteworthy contributors to the well‐being of family caregivers and care recipients, especially from peer support and communality. Further research is needed to find out about participants' preferred art‐based activities and their impact on their well‐being. No patient or public contribution because of inflexibility in the timing of engagement.

Stroke affects one in six people in Finland and is the third most common cause of death. Strokes can cause changes in physical, mental and social functioning. All functional disorders can be affected by rehabilitation: physical treatment is a key part of active rehabilitation after a stroke. In this article, the known effects of dance on stroke are gathered together on the basis of a literature review and discussed in the context of dance pedagogy. The data was systematically retrieved from the PubMed, CINAHL and Arsca databases. Eleven research articles meeting the search criteria were selected. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the research literature analysis indicated that dance is suitable for stroke rehabilitation: it promotes psychological, cognitive and physical functioning. The results spoke in favour of dance intervention supporting and developing a relationship to one’s own altered body and self-esteem, as well as enabling social relationships. In addition, dance improves one’s mental state. Therefore, these factors suggest that dance could meet the need for a new form of neurological rehabilitation therapy.
