Using Art Participation to Promote Psychosocial Health Among People With Physical Disabilities: A Feasibility Study
Sponsor: The Nethersole School of Nursing
Summary
This study aims to explore the feasibility of a newly developed theory-based inclusive art participation program for promoting psychosocial health of people with physical disabilities living in residential care homes. Specifically, the feasibility is assessed following the framework proposed by Bowen et al. (2009), which encompassed five aspects, including demand, implementation, practicality, preliminary effects, and acceptability. As for the preliminary effects, this project will evaluate self-esteem, sense of control, self-efficacy, mood, and social connectedness after the completion of program. This study will adopt a one group pretest-posttest approach with quasi-experimental design to collect both quantitative and qualitative data, employing a mixed-methods study design.

Inclusive art program
The inclusive art participation program will consist of a six-weekly session syllabus of 90 minutes per session. It will be led by a nurse facilitator who has been trained in using art as a healing tool in the healthcare context. Group format of four to six participants per group will be adopted. It will be conducted in a private and active room at residential care homes, which offers a comfortable space that enables participants to express themselves in a safe and confidential environment. The program will focus not only on promoting psychosocial health but also emphasize the inclusive and supportive environment to contribute to social interaction and engagement in meaningful social activities, that affirm the rights of people with physical disabilities living in residential settings.
