“…Given the diversity in cultures, demographics and individual preferences for artwork, it may be over simplistic to suggest that all individuals experience artwork the same way. 33 The findings indicate that the content and aesthetic qualities of artwork are also important considerations. Although mixed, the studies generally indicated that nature, especially greenery, may be the most stress-reducing.…”

Evidence for the effects of viewing visual artworks on stress outcomes: a scoping review

ObjectiveTo review the existing evidence on the effects of viewing visual artworks on stress outcomes and outline any gaps in the research.DesignA scoping review was conducted based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Two independent reviewers performed the screening and data extraction.Data sourcesMedline, Embase, APA PsycINFO, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, Google Scholar, Google, ProQuest Theses and Dissertations Database, APA PsycExtra and Opengrey.eu were searched in May 2020.Eligibility criteriaStudies were included if they investigated the effects of viewing at least one visual artwork on at least one stress outcome measure. Studies involving active engagement with art, review papers or qualitative studies were excluded. There were no limits in terms of year of publication, contexts or population types; however, only studies published in the English language were considered.Data extraction and synthesisInformation extracted from manuscripts included: study methodologies, population and setting characteristics, details of the artwork interventions and key findings.Results14 primary studies were identified, with heterogeneous study designs, methodologies and artwork interventions. Many studies lacked important methodological details and only four studies were randomised controlled trials. 13 of the 14 studies on self-reported stress reported reductions after viewing artworks, and all of the four studies that examined systolic blood pressure reported reductions. Fewer studies examined heart rate, heart rate variability, cortisol, respiration or other physiological outcomes.ConclusionsThere is promising evidence for effects of viewing artwork on reducing stress. Moderating factors may include setting, individual characteristics, artwork content and viewing instructions. More robust research, using more standardised methods and randomised controlled trial designs, is needed.Registration detailsA protocol for this review is registered with the Open Science Framework (osf.io/gq5d8).

“…Among the many possible receptive or creative interventions (attending performances, making or viewing visual art or music, etc), visually engaging artwork or visiting museums and galleries have increasingly been employed in partnership with public health initiatives, and healthcare providers in several countries have started to prescribe such activities as psychological health interventions (Camic & Chatterjee, 2013;Chatterjee & Noble, 2017;Packer & Bond, 2010;Thomson et al, 2018;Todd et al, 2017). Among the various effects, empirical evidence has shown that on-site art interactions have been particularly associated with decreased loneliness (Todd et al, 2017;Tymoszuk et al, 2019Tymoszuk et al, , 2020, improved mental health (symptoms of anxiety and depression; Clayton & Potter, 2017;Hansen et al, 2015;Roberts et al, 2011), and increased mood and subjective wellbeing (Bennington et al, 2016;Binnie, 2010;Davies et al, 2016;Hansen et al, 2015;Ho et al, 2015;Karnik et al, 2014;Roberts et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2020). For example, similar to the interventions that will be explored in this paper, Clow and Fredhoi (2006) asked individuals to take a 35-minute visit to an art gallery on their lunch break and found that even short exposures lead to significantly lower self-reported stress (~2.4 points on a pre-/post-visit 10-point scale)…”

When experienced in-person, engagement with art has been associated—in a growing body of evidence—with positive outcomes in wellbeing and mental health. This represents an exciting new field for psychology, curation, and health interventions, suggesting a widely-accessible, cost-effective, and non-pharmaceutical means of regulating factors such as mood or anxiety. However, can similar impacts be found with online presentations? If so, this would open up positive outcomes to an even-wider population—a trend becoming accelerated due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. Despite its promise, this question, and the underlying mechanisms of art interventions and impacts, has largely not been explored. Participants (N = 84) were asked to engage one of two online exhibitions from Google Arts and Culture (a Monet painting or a similarly-formatted display of Japanese culinary traditions). With just 1-2 minutes’ exposure, both improved negative mood, state-anxiety, loneliness, and wellbeing. Stepdown analysis suggested the changes can be explained primarily via negative mood, while improvements in mood correlated with aesthetic appraisals and cognitive-emotional experience of the exhibition. However, no difference was found between exhibitions. We discuss the findings in terms of applications and targets for future research.

The purpose of this research is to find design variables effective on education integration with physical spaces of nursing homes in association with life expectancy of older people. Delphi technique was used to obtain the design variables by which the education integration with physical spaces of nursing homes can be achieved. Subsequently, in order to investigate the modifying effect of education integrated physical space on life expectancy of the elderly, questionnaires were sent to 50 local researchers and experts in the field of ageing. Results showed a significant and positive correlation between education integrated physical space and life expectancy indicators (p < .05). The results suggest that as per expert opinions, designing a physical space integrated with education could increase the life expectancy of older people.

Second, the potential variables, which can facilitate education, were studied from the architectural perspective.According to research conducted by (Fleck et al., 1999), physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment can affect life expectancy of older people by increasing the quality of their lives.
