‘Light in dark places’: exploring qualitative data from a longitudinal study using creative arts as a form of social prescribing

“…Similarly, another study looking at mindfulness therapy in a mixed cohort of patients found reports of 'going into yourself and exploring', which is reminiscent of our participant's comment regarding 'finding new things about myself' (Mason & Hargreaves, 2001). Finally, the experience of Artlift participants continuing to contact and meet with their group is also echoed amongst other group therapy research, albeit with groups and activity function that is perhaps more conducive to continued assembly such as patients with rheumatic disease carrying out movement therapy (Olsen & Skjaerven, 2016), and mothers with postnatal depression (Lefebvre-Chanson et al, 2017). This is a far more beneficial termination to the official programme than other traditional interventions, which is where participants have cited feeling at a loss, or as if 'the carpet has been pulled from under us ' (MacCormack et al, 2001;Mason & Hargreaves, 2001, p. 204).…”

“…Despite these very obvious structural and foundational differences, there are very clear similarities apparent with the themes identified within this paper and those identified in traditional primary care referral therapy settings. The theme of being with others is something that resonates with the data from the group therapy setting, with evidence from a variety of types of therapy and types of group all identifying similar themes concerning connection to others and trust (Laberg, Törnkvist, & Andersson, 2001;Olsen & Skjaerven, 2016), mutual support (Lefebvre-Chanson, Boissou-Bonnet, & Rolland, 2017;Olsen & Skjaerven, 2016), and sharing (Lefebvre-Chanson et al, 2017;Mackenzie, Carlson, Munoz, & Speca, 2007). Equally, the theme of threshold is a very familiar story with group therapy data, with studies describing how participants identify their own personal growth (Mackenzie et al, 2007), feelings of being changed at a very individual level (Laberg et al, 2001), understanding that they now have new coping tools (Nilsson, Svensson, Sandell, & Clinton, 2007), and a new awareness of the self (Binder, Holgersen, & Nielsen, 2009;Olsen & Skjaerven, 2016).…”

The theme of losing oneself is not something that perhaps would be expected to be echoed within group therapy settings, however one study looking at group therapy for women with postnatal depression outlined a theme of "escape" in terms of the participants' feelings of isolation in their daily lives (Lefebvre-Chanson et al, 2017). Similarly, another study looking at mindfulness therapy in a mixed cohort of patients found reports of 'going into yourself and exploring', which is reminiscent of our participant's comment regarding 'finding new things about myself' (Mason & Hargreaves, 2001).…”
