Sponsor's own description
This study explores the impact of art therapy on mental health and quality of life among solitary older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an experimental group receiving art therapy sessions or a control group with no intervention. The art therapy program includes 12 weekly sessions lasting 90 minutes each, focusing on creative expression, observation of art, and reflective discussions. These activities are designed to enhance emotional well-being, reduce depressive symptoms, and foster interpersonal connections. Both groups will undergo evaluations before and after the 12-week study period. The assessments will include the Taiwanese version of the WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to measure changes in psychological health and life satisfaction. The findings aim to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of art therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention for improving the well-being of solitary older adults.
