Abstract

Background

Music (MT) and art therapy (AT) have a positive effect on the regulation of emotions in patients with cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether these creative arts therapies can reduce emotional speechlessness and use of maladaptive coping strategies.

Methods

We conducted a pilot study using a pre-post design with a total of N = 22 patients who received creative arts therapy (MT or AT) and additional interventions for emotional perception and processing. Emotional speechlessness, cancer-specific coping strategies, and subjective benefit and acceptance of the interventions from the patients' perspective were assessed to measure the impact of MT and AT.

Results

A total of 19 patients participated in all assessments, with an average of M = 7.53 therapy sessions. Non-significant results indicated a trend toward a decrease in emotional speechlessness for MT participants and an increase for AT participants. Patients reported positive subjective benefits from interventions and participating in creative arts therapy.

Conclusion

Our results suggest that interventions focusing on emotional perception and processing in the context of creative arts therapy care can positively influence the reduction of emotional speechlessness and that patients accept this form of therapy.

创造性艺术疗法对癌症患者情绪性言语障碍的影响:一项初步研究

背景音乐(MT)和艺术治疗(AT)对癌症患者的情绪调节有积极作用。我们的目的是调查这些创造性艺术疗法是否可以减少情绪性言语障碍和使用适应不良的应对策略。方法采用前后设计进行了一项试点研究，共有N = 22名患者接受了创造性艺术治疗(MT或AT)和额外的情绪感知和处理干预。评估情绪性言语障碍、癌症特异性应对策略以及患者对干预措施的主观获益和接受程度，以衡量MT和AT的影响。结果共有19例患者参与了所有评估，平均M = 7.53疗程。非显著性结果表明，MT参与者的情绪性言语障碍有减少的趋势，AT参与者的情绪性言语障碍有增加的趋势。患者报告从干预和参与创造性艺术治疗中获得积极的主观益处。结论在创造性艺术治疗护理的背景下，以情绪感知和加工为重点的干预措施对减少情绪性言语障碍有积极的影响，患者接受这种形式的治疗。
