AIMS
Loneliness and social isolation negatively affect wellbeing and quality of life. Despite the proximity of others, older people living in care homes often experience loneliness and social isolation. The impact of participatory arts on wellbeing is widely acknowledged; however, relational impacts have received less attention. This article explores the impact of participatory arts in care homes on the social relationships between older people and older people and care staff.
METHODS
'Creative Journeys', an initiative led by Essex County Council, provides opportunities for older people living in care homes to participate in arts activities. In this study, three arts organisations (reminiscence arts, seated dance, and orchestral music participation) delivered participatory arts in three homes. Stage 1 of the research comprised mixed-methods case studies in each home. Stage 2 involved an online survey across care homes in Essex to provide a broader perspective, with follow-up interviews in three further homes, and a focus group with the arts organisations. Findings presented here focus on the qualitative data around the impact of participatory arts on the social relationships in care homes between older people and older people and care staff.
RESULTS
Participatory arts enhanced social relationships between older people and between older people and care staff in care homes. Through engagement in shared experiences leading to increased communication and interaction, participatory arts facilitated social connectedness between residents, and changed the relationship dynamics between older people and care staff, thus promoting reciprocity.
CONCLUSION
Participatory arts enable older people to express themselves creatively, and make meaningful contributions to their social relationships. Policy makers and those working in the care sector should consider including participatory arts as an integral and necessary component of quality care for older people living in care homes.
目的
孤独和社会隔离会对幸福感和生活质量产生负面影响。尽管与他人接近，住在养老院的老年人常常感到孤独和社会隔离。参与艺术活动对幸福感的影响已得到广泛认可；然而，其关系影响却受到较少关注。本文探讨了养老院参与式艺术对老年人之间以及老年人与护理人员之间社会关系的影响。
方法
埃塞克斯郡议会领导的“创意之旅”为居住在养老院的老年人提供了参与艺术活动的机会。在这项研究中，三个艺术组织（怀旧艺术、坐姿舞蹈和管弦乐参与）在三个养老院开展了参与式艺术活动。研究的第一阶段是在每个养老院进行混合方法案例研究。第二阶段是在埃塞克斯的养老院进行在线调查，以提供更广泛的视角，并在另外三个养老院进行后续访谈，以及与艺术组织的焦点小组。这里呈现的研究结果重点关注参与式艺术对养老院中老年人之间以及老年人与护理人员之间社会关系的影响的定性数据。
结果
参与式艺术增强了养老院中老年人之间以及老年人与护理人员之间的社会关系。通过参与共同体验，促进了更多的沟通和互动，参与式艺术促进了居民之间的社会联系，并改变了老年人与护理人员之间的关系动态，从而促进了互惠关系。
结论
参与式艺术使老年人能够创造性地表达自己，并为他们的社会关系做出有意义的贡献。政策制定者和护理行业的从业者应该考虑将参与式艺术作为养老院中老年人生活质量的一个组成部分和必要组成部分。
