| Abstract | Background: Visual art therapy has been widely used with children with medical health conditions within various settings. However, less is known about its effectiveness. The scope of this systematic review is to shed light on what benefit art therapy may have for ill health adjustment in youth populations. Methods: Electronic databases (Psychinfo, Medline, CINAHL, ERIC, Scopus, Embase and Child and Adolescent Studies) were searched (1806–2017). Systematic methods for study selection and data extraction were used. Results: Twelve studies (N = 404 participants, 318 in the control group; aged between 2 and 19 years old, with various medical conditions) were included. Ten studies reported significant improvements concerning at least one outcome with an overall inconclusive trend toward effectiveness. Conclusions: Visual art therapy interventions were found weak in evidence quality. However, future evidence-based research designs could show the effectiveness of these interventions in health care settings. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |

| However, the outcomes were all broadly related to positive adjustment regarding chronic ill health. . | The use of visual art therapy interventions within health care and clinical settings serve to promote psychological health for young patients in an environment which may indirectly affect and cause mental distress. . | Expressing feelings can help children and young people better cope by providing the opportunity to reflect and to find a meaning in their experiences, thus decreasing the influence of negative emotions such as fear and uncertainty. . | The primary goal of such interventions is the intentional use of the arts to promote psychological change and as a form of therapy within a therapeutic context where the process of creating as a whole has its own meaning and communication value, taking priority over a completed art or craft product (See Figure 1). . |
