Abstract

Background: Cancer strongly impacts on patients' lives, undermining their life skills. This research aimed to explore the perception of efficacy of participants in a series of expressive-creative workshops (ArtLab) designed to reactivate life skills in cancer patients.

Methods: Quotations of two semi-structured focus groups with ten participants in ArtLab (Mean Age = 59; SD = 11.19) enrolled at [Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori] have been analyzed through a priori (top-down) thematic analysis which allowed us to identify life skills provided by WHO 1948: Emotional, Relational and Cognitive.

Results: Thematic analysis showed ArtLab program's effectiveness, especially regarding Emotional and Relational life skills. Cognitive skills, instead, seemed to be only partially expressed. Sub-themes articulation for each life skill has been discussed.

Conclusion: This study provides encouraging results with respect to the effectiveness of expressive-creative group workshops among cancer patients.

通过表达创意工作坊重新激活癌症患者的生活技能:一项定性探索性研究。

背景:癌症严重影响患者的生活，削弱他们的生活技能。本研究旨在探索一系列旨在重新激活癌症患者生活技能的表达创意研讨会(ArtLab)参与者对疗效的感知。方法:ArtLab中两组10人的半结构化焦点小组(平均年龄59岁;SD = 11.19)，通过先验(自上而下)主题分析，使我们能够确定1948年世卫组织提供的生活技能:情感、关系和认知。结果:主题分析显示了ArtLab项目的有效性，特别是在情感和关系生活技能方面。相反，认知能力似乎只是部分表现出来。讨论了每个生活技能的子主题发音。结论:本研究提供了令人鼓舞的结果，关于在癌症患者中进行表达-创造性小组研讨会的有效性。
