Art therapy, a creative and non-verbal engagement technique, is a promising approach that remains unexplored.Objective: This study aims to test the feasibility of a structured art therapy intervention to address emotional and behavioral issues and enhance self-esteem of children in residential childcare institutions.Methods: A small sample experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of a 10-week structured art therapy intervention for children aged 10-16 in residential childcare institutions in Kerala, India.Results: Post-intervention, outcomes revealed significant improvements in emotional problems (t = 8.008, p < .001), conduct disorders (t = 8.41, p < .001), hyperactivity (t = 7.139, p < .001), and augmented prosocial behavior (t= -8.527, p < .001).

Caregiver singing (CS) is an intervention aimed at facilitating care situations and involves caregivers singing for or together with persons with dementia during care activities.

The aim was to describe caregivers' experiences of the reactions of persons with dementia when using CS and receptive music in dementia care.Method: The data comprised three focus group interviews with 12 professional caregivers in dementia care, analysed using qualitative content analysis.Results: the analysis resulted in two themes: \"CS increases interaction and builds companionship\" and \"Receptive music soothes, awakens memories and reflects the person's self\".Conclusion: Both CS and receptive music was shown to have positive influences, and while the results were sometimes intertwined, CS was shown to better facilitate problematic care situations.","PeriodicalId":45944,"journal":{"name":"Arts & Health","volume":" ","pages":"132-146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139933501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
