Abstract

Preventive interventions aimed at learning to cope with psychological stressors and building resilience could benefit most forcibly displaced persons (FDP). Limited research has been conducted to examine the usefulness of resilience-building art therapy for FDP. The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate the perspective of adult FDP on the process of change after a resilience-building art therapy intervention, i.e. to (a) identify the positive changes they experience, (b) the associated therapeutic factors, and (c) the mechanisms they believe to be responsible for these changes. An exploratory qualitive study using thematic analysis with descriptive quantitative data was conducted with 11 adult FDP who received an eight-session resilience-building group art therapy intervention. The participants identified three positive changes: (i) felt calmer, (ii) strengthened emotional skills and (iii) reinforced self. The results also highlight multiple therapeutic factors and some combinations of these, which could be possible change mechanisms. The authors suggest replicating the research to confirm and complete the results.

被迫流离失所的成年人在重建弹性的艺术治疗干预后对改变机制的看法

旨在学习应对心理压力和建立复原力的预防性干预措施可使大多数被迫流离失所者受益。已经进行了有限的研究来检验复原力重建艺术疗法对FDP的有用性。本探索性研究的目的是调查成年FDP在接受复原力艺术治疗干预后的变化过程，即：(a)确定他们经历的积极变化，(b)相关的治疗因素，(c)他们认为导致这些变化的机制。本研究采用专题分析和描述性定量数据对11名接受8期复原力建设团体艺术治疗干预的成年FDP进行了探索性定性研究。参与者确定了三个积极的变化：(1)感觉更平静，(2)加强了情绪技巧，(3)增强了自我。结果还强调了多种治疗因素和这些因素的一些组合，这可能是可能的改变机制。作者建议重复这项研究，以确认和完善结果。
