| Abstract | A Visual Arts Education program was tested among 26 pairs of persons with dementia and their caregivers. Pairs were randomized to Visual Arts Education or control groups, and each group met once per week for two months (8 weeks) to participate in activities with a trained arts instructor. Groups were assessed at baseline, two months, and six months. The Visual Arts Education group received instruction and produced a different type of artistic work each week. The pedagogical strategy was designed so that each activity was increasingly novel, challenging, and complex. The control group viewed slide shows participated in discussions about art and made paintings. At the six-month follow-up, significant improvements in caregiver burden and self-esteem for the persons with dementia were found in the Visual Arts Education group. The Visual Arts Education pedagogical approach shows the potential for effectiveness for improving quality of life for persons with dementia and their caregivers |
Visual Arts Education improves self-esteem for persons with dementia and reduces caregiver burden: A randomized controlled trial.. A Visual Arts Education program was tested among 26 pairs of persons with dementia and their caregivers. caring for persons with adrd is associated with well-documented increases in burden distress and decline in mental health and well-being sorensen duberstein gill & pinquart. two art education instructors act and agr delivered the activities and alternated with the experimental and control groups each week to minimize possible instructor biases. since these skills were not measured in the current study they should be a focus of future studies. perhaps the improved self-esteem of the persons with adrd meant a more positive outlook in general relieving stress or anxieties on the part of the caregiver.
