“…The application of creative activities in stroke patients appears to have positive implications for improving activities of daily living, 10,17–23 limb motor function, 10,18,20,22,23 and fine motor ability, 18,22 which supports Chan et al's findings. 14 Secondly, it may also be beneficial for negative emotions such as anxiety, 21,24,26 depression, 19,24,26 and despair 32 in stroke patients consistent with Pangestu et al’s perspective. 11 In addition, only individual studies have indicated potential benefits of creative activities for the quality of life, 21 cognitive ability, 19 and sensory function 21 in stroke patients, its effectiveness cannot be conclusively determined due to the limited number of studies.…”

“…So far, four similar systematic reviews have been retrieved. 11–14 However, these studies did not differentiate between creative activities in different domains. Therefore, this review aims to clarify the distinctions between creative activities in Occupational Therapy and Art Therapy domains and describe their application effects in stroke rehabilitation practices.…”

Objective Clarifying the distinctions between art-based creative activities in the domains of occupational therapy and art therapy in the context of stroke rehabilitation, while also describing the effects of art-based creative activities on stroke rehabilitation. Design Scoping review. Data source A systematic search was performed in nine databases (Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and four Chinese database) from their inception to December 2023. Review methods The study included randomized and non-randomized controlled trials involving art-based creative activities, as well as qualitative research providing detailed intervention measures. The study focused on stroke patients, with primary outcomes related to patients’ physiological recovery, psychological well-being, ADL, etc. Data extraction included information on intervention strategies and study results. Results Seventeen studies were included, extracting six similarities and differences in creative activity between two domains. Creative activities were observed to have positive impacts on daily living activities, limb motor function, fine motor ability, and emotional well-being in stroke patients. Conclusion Creative activities, whether in occupational therapy or art therapy, involve providing participants with tangible crafting materials for the creation of artistic works. Future stroke rehabilitation practices should tailor activities and intervention focus based on patients’ rehabilitation needs, preferences, and cultural background. The current comprehensive analysis provides initial support for the potential positive role of creative activities in stroke rehabilitation, but further in-depth research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

“…The retention rate in the intervention group was 93.55%, which was higher than that in Morris et al [22] at 73.17% and Ellis-Hill et al [28] at 86.21%. Chan et al [12] and McCaffrey [29] reported better participation in face-to-face and group-based visual art interventions for people with stroke, perhaps contributing to higher retention. McGull et al [30] reported that Asians are more willing to take part in clinical studies.…”

IntroductionStroke poses challenges to the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual well‐being of affected individuals. As the impacts of stroke might not be reversible, a shift in focus to providing care is desirable. Visual art interventions using visual and symbolic art can help participants to express their feelings, give them a sense of choice and the feeling that they are retaining a sense of control, promote insights, restructure their sense of cognition and instil hope. There have been few studies on visual art interventions involving older people with stroke and none in residential care homes (RCHs). Theoretical support and rigorous research designs on the subject are lacking. Thus, this study seeks to address this research gap by examining the feasibility of a visual art intervention for older people in RCHs and exploring the impacts on their holistic well‐being.MethodsThis was a single‐blinded, two‐arm, randomised controlled feasibility study grounded on Watson's Caring Theory. The Holistic Well‐Being Scale and Caring Factor Survey were used in the study, with three assessment time‐points: before the intervention (T1), at the mid‐point of the intervention (T2) and immediately after the intervention (T3).ResultsSixty‐one older people with stroke were recruited from 14 RCHs and randomised into the intervention and control groups. The recruitment rate was 44.53%, and the retention rate for the intervention group was 93.55%. Implementing the programme was affordable (at approximately US$126/head), the duration was acceptable (721 min) and the feedback from participants and staff of the RCHs was positive.ConclusionsThe visual art intervention programme proved to be clinically feasible. This study adds new insights to the development of visual art interventions and to the caring sciences. The efficacy of the programme on holistic well‐being has yet to be confirmed.

Depression constitutes a pervasive global mental health concern and stands as a principal determinant of elevated suicide rates worldwide. Recent empirical investigations have showcased the significant potential of visual art therapy (VAT) in ameliorating symptoms among individuals with depression. Nevertheless, specific studies have yielded findings marked by inconclusiveness, underscoring the imperative need for further research to comprehensively establish its efficacy. This study is a systematic review and meta‐analysis of extant research, to ascertain the efficacy and effect size of VAT as an intervention for adults with depressive symptoms. A comprehensive search was conducted across 10 databases. The search encompassed articles published from the inception of these databases up until October 18, 2023. Two researchers screened the literature in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria and performed a thorough quality assessment. The original data and the data obtained from the literature were extracted for further analysis. The statistical analysis of the data was performed using Stata 17.0 software. fifteen studies were included, encompassing a total of 932 participants. The outcomes of meta‐analysis unveiled a statistically significant effect of VAT in diminishing depressive symptoms among adults (SMD = −0.73; 95% CI, −1.07 to −0.39; p < 0.001; 15 randomised controlled trials (RCTs); low‐quality evidence). The subgroup analysis indicated that VAT exhibited heightened effectiveness among adults below 65 years of age, with interventions lasting ≤12 weeks demonstrating superior efficacy. Additionally, sensitivity analysis underscored the robustness and reliability of the findings. VAT appears to alleviate depressive symptoms among adults. Existing research indicates that the effectiveness of VAT is influenced by factors, such as intervention population characteristics and intervention duration. However, to comprehensively probe the efficacy of VAT, future studies should strive for larger sample sizes, multicentre collaborations, and long‐term follow‐ups.
