About this study

Official title: The Effects of Art-based Activities on Hope and Self-efficacy in Stroke Patients

Introduction and Aim: Life after stroke begins a difficult period in which functional capacity is very limited. Disability persists for a long time, and various problems such as hemiparesis, hemiplegia, dysarthria, dysphagia, urinary and bowel incontinence, which are frequently encountered after stroke, can affect the quality of life in the long term. As non-pharmacological approaches, especially non-invasive methods, have gained attention, creative arts-based therapies have often been recommended for stroke survivors because they have an arts-based approach without side effects. It is thought that the study conducted will contribute to the literature as there are not many studies in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of art-based activities on stroke patients' hope and self-efficacy levels. Its sub-purpose is to reveal the feelings and thoughts that arise with art objects obtained from art-based activities applied to stroke patients.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomised controlled design. After the groups were determined, art-based activities module was applied to the intervention group for one week, while no additional intervention was made to the control group. Research data were collected using "Individual Introduction Form", "Herth Hope Index", "Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.0 package program. Written permission was obtained from the relevant ethics committee, hospital and participants to conduct the study.

Introduction and Aim: Life after stroke begins a difficult period in which functional capacity is very limited.

Its sub-purpose is to reveal the feelings and thoughts that arise with art objects obtained from art-based activities applied to stroke patients.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomised controlled design. After the groups were determined, art-based activities module was applied to the intervention group for one week, while no additional intervention was made to the control group. This research was conducted at the Neurology Clinic of Health Sciences University Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital between October 2023 and February 2024. The participants consisted of 72 patient 36 in the invention group and 36 in the control group with Modified Rankin Scale scores of 2 and 3 who were hospitalized with a stroke diagnosis in the Neurology Clinic. Research data were collected using "Individual Introduction Form", "Herth Hope Index", "Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.0 package program. Written permission was obtained from the relevant ethics committee, hospital and participants to conduct the study.

This study was supported by Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) under the Grant Number 223K879.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Art Based ActivityOther

    Art Based Activity Module consists of 3 art-based activities under the titles "My Life Journey", "The Power Within Me" and "Letter to the Future". Each activity consists of three stages. In the first stage, the participants were made to practice breathing exercises. At this stage, the participant was expected to become aware of himself and his ideas. In the second stage, art activity was carried out. In the final stage, the revealed art object was concretized by the participants with a verbal expression. The materials used in the activities (dry paint, pastel paint, watercolor) are dermatologically tested and consist of anti-allergen products.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Herth Hope Index

    It is a scale developed to measure the level of hope. The index consists of a 12-item Likert-type scale. This 4-point likert-type scale index assesses adults' general level of hope. Each item is scored on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), with a total score ranging from 12 to 48. The higher the score, the higher the level of hope.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale

    It is a scale developed to measure the level of self-efficacy. The scores that can be obtained from the scale range from 10 to 40. An increase in the score indicates a higher level of self-efficacy in the individual.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  3. Individual Introduction Form

    This form was prepared by the researcher and includes questions regarding the sociodemographic and disease characteristics of the patients.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Art Object Concretization Form

    It was created to concretize the unearthed art object through verbal expression. It contains a single open-ended question. After the art-based activity, the question was asked what the resulting art object meant.

    Measured: Day 2, Day 4 and Day 6
