摘要
背景：由于早期创伤和依恋问题，生活在寄宿托儿机构的儿童经常面临情感、行为挑战和低自尊。艺术疗法是一种创造性的非语言参与技术，是一种很有前途的方法，尚未被探索。目的：本研究旨在检验结构化艺术治疗干预在解决寄宿托儿机构儿童情绪和行为问题及提升儿童自尊方面的可行性。方法：采用小样本实验设计来评估印度喀拉拉邦寄宿托儿机构10-16岁儿童为期10周的结构化艺术治疗干预的有效性。结果：干预后，结果显示情绪问题（t= 8.008, p t= 8.41, p t= 7.139, p t= -8.527, p t=-12.085, p t= -3.117, p = 0.004）、家庭-父母（t=-3.194, p = 0.003）和学业领域（t=-9.95, p）有显著改善。结论：艺术治疗促进了内部冲突的表达，是一种非语言、非威胁的方法，可促进儿童积极应对策略。本研究建议在所有托儿机构实施之前，在更大的人群中进行随机对照试验。
The effectiveness of art therapy in addressing emotional and behavioral issues and enhancing self-esteem of children living in residential childcare institutions: a feasibility study in Kerala, India.
Background: Children living in residential childcare institutions often face emotional, behavioral challenges, and low self-esteem due to early trauma and attachment issues. 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). Self-esteem also improved across general (t=-12.085, p < .001), social (t =-3.117, p = 0.004), home-parent (t=-3.194, p = 0.003), and academic domains (t=-9.95, p < 0.001) in contrast with comparison group.
Conclusions: Art therapy facilitates the articulation of internal conflicts and serves as a non-verbal, non-threatening method with children promoting positive coping strategies. This study recommends randomized controlled trials in larger populations before implementing it in all childcare institutions.
