Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of art therapy-based purposeful activities on hand function, daily living, depression levels, and volition level of patients with acute stroke.
Methods: Sixteen acute stroke patients participated in this study. All patients were assigned randomly into two groups: the experimental group (n=8) or control group (n=8). The experimental group received purposeful activities based on art therapy, and the control group received the normal care. All patients received the care 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for a total of 8 weeks. The hand function, daily living and depression levels were measured before and after the intervention. The hand function was measured using Jebsen-Tylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT), the daily living through the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), the depression levels through Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the volition levels through the Volitional Questionnaire (VQ).
Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in all measurements after the intervention. The control group showed significant improvements in JTHFT, BDI and VQ. The experimental group showed significantly higher improvements in the BDI and VQ after intervention than the control group.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that art therapy-based purposeful activities may have a positive influence in the improvement of depression levels and volition for rehabilitation in acute stroke patients.
