Abstract

ABSTRACT Art therapy (AT) has been adopted in recent years as a possible non-pharmacological approach in older persons living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to improve both cognitive and behavioral and psychological symptoms that accompany the disease. Our main aim was to conduct a systematic review of the methodological and practical effectiveness of different approaches using AT in older people living with AD. The systematic analysis of the studies finally selected (n = 12) suggests that the measures applied to evaluate the effectiveness of AT may not always be the most appropriate to assess the impact of this approach in this type of population, in many cases not being sufficiently sensitive to adequately capture all the significant changes produced by the intervention. Neurologically informed AT, as well as the use of biomarkers, could better identify and capture intervention-induced changes, being a step toward evidence-based practice in the application of this type of approach.

阿尔茨海默病的艺术治疗方法:系统综述

近年来，艺术治疗(AT)作为一种可能的非药物治疗老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)的方法被采用，以改善伴随疾病的认知、行为和心理症状。我们的主要目的是对老年AD患者使用AT的不同方法的方法学和实际有效性进行系统回顾。对最终选择的研究(n = 12)的系统分析表明，用于评估AT有效性的措施可能并不总是最适合评估这种方法对这类人群的影响，在许多情况下，不够敏感，无法充分捕捉干预产生的所有重大变化。神经学上的AT，以及生物标记物的使用，可以更好地识别和捕捉干预引起的变化，这是在这种方法的应用中向循证实践迈出的一步。

期刊介绍： Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
