|
The purpose of this study is to investigate the experience of pregnant women participating in group art therapy emotionally and psychologically and understand the meaning of the experience. Participants in the program were first-born women with more than 16 weeks of pregnancy, and 10 group art treatments and two in-depth interviews were conducted once or twice a week for 90 minutes. Nine people participated in the in-depth interview. As a research method, collage phenomenology was carried out based on observation logbook and in-depth interview contents. As a result, 92 structural meanings, 29 themes, 10 theme groups and four categories based on them were derived from the analysis. Group art therapy provides opportunities for pregnant women to accept themselves, strengthen their maternal identity and attachment to the fetus, dispel negative emotions, raise positive emotions, and promote psychological stability during pregnancy. Pregnant women experience self-satisfaction and self-satisfaction through visual expression and sharing of their works, and as a result, they share deep empathy and support among group members and gain social support from their colleagues. In addition, they will deepen their understanding of the family and seek to strengthen their relationship with the family by eliminating negative feelings. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of participating in group art therapy programs for pregnant women, to provide a contextual and practical understanding of the experience, and to prepare basic materials for use in art therapy sites.
