| Abstract | This review provides an updated evaluation of the emerging body of literature on the value of the arts in healthcare settings. Internationally, there is growing interest in the use of the arts in the healthcare context supported by the number of research studies reported in the nursing and medical literature. There is evidence that arts interventions have positive effects on psychological and physiological outcomes on patients in a hospital environment. A critical review of the literature between 2011 and 2016 was undertaken. The following databases were searched: MedLine, CINAHL, AMED, Web of Science and ASSIA. Searches included words from three categories: cultural activities, outcomes and healthcare settings. Initial searches identified 131 potentially relevant articles. Following screening and review by the research team, a total of 69 studies were included in the final review. The majority of studies examined the effect of music listening on patients/service users (76.8%). These studies were primarily quantitative focusing on the measurable effects of music listening in a surgical context. Overall, the studies in the review support the growing evidence base on the value of the arts in a variety of healthcare settings for patients/service users. The review findings suggest that now is the time for different voices and art forms to be considered and represented in the research on arts in healthcare. Further research is also required to strengthen the existing evidence base. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd |

| A reduction in anxiety levels was recorded by Froggett and Little (2012) and Mouradian (2013). . | Other benefits to the individuals included increased enjoyment and satisfaction, and the opportunity to share and connect with others, and increased social interaction. . | As with music listening, there were also reductions in anxiety levels and depressive symptoms, including the suggestion that the role of the intervention in recovery could be as important as medication. . | There is evidence that arts interventions have positive effects on psychological and physiological outcomes on patients in a hospital environment. . | The findings from this review further support the growing body of evidence that strongly attests to the benefits and positive impact on the health and well-being of patients/ service users in introducing arts activities into a variety of healthcare settings. . | The flexibility of such approaches might guide future work to explore and understand why and how music is important from the perspectives of a variety of stakeholders. . | The growing recognition of the arts having an important role to play in improving the health and well-being of individuals has been a key driver (Leckey, 2011). . | What is known about this topic There is a growing recognition of the value of the arts in improving well-being, health and healthcare. . | Evidence of the positive effects of music interventions on both psychological and physiological outcomes for patients in healthcare environments. . | For example, Crone et al. (2013) found well-being scores improved for those with common mental health problems who completed a person-centred arts programme. . | The designs used to assess the impact of other art forms were more varied and flexible, which helped to illuminate important issues that would be missed by the simple use of pre- and post-test designs. . | Therefore, overall it is apparent in the studies reviewed that pa-tients/service users positively valued the arts in healthcare settings and recognised its potential positive effects, benefits and gains. . | Dancing also helped service users to relax by releasing tension. . | A broad and diverse range of arts activities informed our interpretation of the arts, and ranged from visual and performing arts, to music, dance, theatre and literature. . | While there is already some economic analyses of arts for health interventions, in addition to the research about individual health benefits, there is a need for further funded research and reviews focussing on both cost-effectiveness and the wider benefits to society if the continued integration of arts in health is to be maintained.. |
