| Abstract | This study explored the meanings of participating in a 5-week creative arts leisure programme designed for family caregivers of people with dementia, using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Eight carers attended and four who met the eligibility criteria agreed to be interviewed. Participants experienced the arts group as providing a sense of freedom and respite, strengthening identity through promoting achievement, offering social support through a collective focus on art- and craft-making and increasing resilience for coping with caring. Some found the 5-week programme too short. Benefits were linked to the security of knowing that loved ones with dementia were close by, being well cared for. Further research is needed into the long-term benefits of creative arts groups for promoting carer well-being. © The Author(s) 2015. |
‘A respite thing’: A qualitative study of a creative arts leisure programme for family caregivers of people with dementia. Further research is needed into the long-term benefits of creative arts groups for promoting carer well-being. This preparation enabled participants to take part in the programme without compromising their caring responsibilities. Three participants experienced this as having long-term benefits enhancing their sense of control and providing a resource for caregiving for some time after the end of the sessions: It was easier to care I dont feel so stressed and under pressure. Resonating with the flow concept they also described experiences of optimal challenge during art-making orchestrated by the tutor promoting confidence and achievement.
