Abstract

In this study, the effects of art therapy group practices on the loneliness and psychological well-being levels of older adults living in retirement homes were examined using qualitative and quantitative data analyses across intervention and non-intervention groups. For this reason, this study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a pretest posttest pattern including an intervention (n=18) and non-intervention (n=13) group. 12 sessions of Art Therapy Practice Sessions were administered to the intervention group. A significant difference between the post-test loneliness and psychological well-being levels of the intervention and non-intervention groups was found. As a result, it can be said that art therapy is a significantly effective method in reducing the loneliness level of the elderly living in nursing homes and increasing their psychological well-being. In the qualitative aspect of the research, the views of the elderly on the effectiveness of art therapy practices were gathered in two categories: “Contribution” and “Art Therapy Practices”.

Abstract

Bu araştırmayla sanatla terapi grup uygulamalarının huzurevinde kalan yaşlıların yalnızlık ve psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerine etkisi, deney ve kontrol gruplarında, nitel ve nicel veri analizleri ile incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla gerçekleştirilen araştırma, deney (n=18) ve kontrol (n=13) grubunu içeren iki grupta ön ve son test desenli yarı deneysel araştırma türünde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada 12 oturumluk Sanatla Terapi Oturumları deney grubuna uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda deney ve kontrol gruplarının yalnızlık ve psikolojik iyi oluş son test puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak sanatla terapinin, huzur evinde kalan yaşlıların yalnızlık düzeyini azaltmada, psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyini arttırmada önemli ölçüde etkili bir yöntem olduğu söylenebilir. Araştırmanın nitel boyutunda yaşlıların sanatla terapi uygulamalarının etkililiğine ilişkin görüşleri “Katkı”, “Sanatla Terapi Uygulamaları” olmak üzere iki kategoride toplanmıştır.
