Abstract

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are life-changing events that can contribute to the development of anxiety and depression, both of which are closely associated with poor overall outcomes. Brain injury may impact cognitive and physiological functions, regulation of mood, interpersonal relationships, personal identity, and self-esteem. Studies have demonstrated benefits of art therapy interventions with the TBI population that could help with recovery. The aim of this pilot study was to determine whether an art therapy intervention involving creating a collage could decrease self-reported anxiety in adult participants with a TBI. Through a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test single group design, the researcher gathered quantitative data using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results indicated a significant decrease in State Anxiety scores (t(7) = 6.76, p < .001) and a significant decrease in Trait Anxiety scores (t(7) = 3.06, p = .018) between the pre-and post-test. The results of this pilot study demonstrated a significant reduction of anxiety in participants following pictorial collage intervention in a single art therapy session. The potency of even brief engagement in art therapy experiences supports the use and benefit of art therapy with individuals with TBI.
