摘要
背景:焦虑症很常见,影响着全球约三分之一的人,尽管进行了标准治疗,但往往仍然存在。视觉艺术疗法,包括引导创造性活动,如绘画或绘画,已经成为缓解焦虑的一种补充方法。我们系统地回顾了随机对照试验(rct),以评估视觉艺术治疗减少成人焦虑的有效性。对象和方法:系统检索PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus和Web of Science(2017年10月- 2025年6月)。我们纳入了接受视觉艺术治疗干预(如绘画、绘画、着色)的成年人(18-65岁)与任何对照条件的随机对照试验。14项rct(总N = 1686)符合纳入标准。结果:所有14项试验都发现,与对照组相比,艺术治疗组的焦虑程度明显降低,干预范围从单次15-30分钟的艺术创作到5-12周的艺术治疗项目。无论是临床组还是高压力非临床组,接受艺术治疗的参与者的焦虑得分都有较大改善。尽管由于异质性,没有进行meta分析,但所有试验都报告了基于艺术的干预措施的积极结果。结论:目前的证据强烈支持视觉艺术治疗是减轻成人焦虑症状的有效干预措施。它在不同的形式(从简短的艺术创作会议到多周的项目)中产生了有意义的焦虑缓解。作为标准治疗的补充,艺术治疗是一种有价值的焦虑管理综合方法。
THE IMPACT OF VISUAL ART THERAPY ON ANXIETY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.
Background: Anxiety disorders are common, affecting about one-third of people globally and often persist despite standard treatments. Visual art therapy, involving guided creative activities such as drawing or painting, has emerged as a complementary approach to alleviate anxiety. We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effectiveness of visual art therapy for reducing anxiety in adults.
Subjects and methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science (October 2017-June 2025) was conducted. We included RCTs of adults (18-65 years) receiving a visual art therapy intervention (e.g., painting, drawing, coloring) versus any control condition. Fourteen RCTs (total N = 1,686) met the inclusion criteria.
Results: All 14 trials found significantly greater anxiety reduction in art therapy groups compared to controls, with interventions ranging from a single 15-30 minute art-making session to 5-12 week art therapy programs. Anxiety scores improved more in art therapy participants across both clinical and high-stress non-clinical groups. Although no meta-analysis was performed due to heterogeneity, all trials reported positive outcomes for art-based interventions.
Conclusions: Current evidence strongly supports visual art therapy as an effective intervention for reducing anxiety symptoms in adults. It yields meaningful anxiety reductions across diverse formats (from brief art-making sessions to multi-week programs). As an accessible intervention complementing standard treatments, art therapy represents a valuable integrative approach to anxiety management.
