Workplace health promotion activities have a positive effect on emotions. Zentangle art relaxes the body and mind through the process of concentrating while painting, achieving a healing effect. This study aimed to promote the physical and mental health of rural healthcare workers through Zentangle art-based intervention.
This was a quasi-experimental pilot study.
A Zentangle art workshop was held from November 2019 to July 2020. A total of 40 healthcare workers were recruited. The participants were asked to provide baseline data, and the Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5), work stress management effectiveness self-rating scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Workplace Spirituality Scale (WSS) were administered before and after the workshop. SPSS 22.0 statistical package software was used to conduct the data analysis.
The median age (interquartile range [IQR]) was 32.00 years (23.00-41.75 years). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed that the median (IQR) BSRS-5 postintervention score was 4.0 (1.25-5.0), which was lower than the preintervention score (P = 0.004). The postintervention score for the work stress management effectiveness self-rating scale was 36.5 (31.0-40.0), which was also lower than the preintervention score (P = 0.009). A higher score for the GSES or WSS indicated improvements in stress management and self-efficacy. The GSES postintervention score 25.00 (21.0-30.75) was significantly higher than the preintervention score (P = 0.010), and the WSS postintervention score 104.0 (88.0-111.75) was significantly higher than the preintervention score (P = 0.005).
The study provides evidence that painting therapy can effectively relieve stress, reduce workplace stress and frustration, enhance self-efficacy, and increase commitment to work among healthcare workers, thus improving their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Zentangle art provides employees with multiple channels for expressing their emotions and can improve the physical and mental health of healthcare workers in the workplace. It is beneficial and cost-effective and can serve as a benchmark for peer learning.
工作场所健康促进活动对情绪有积极影响。 Zentangle 艺术通过绘画过程集中注意力来放松身心，达到治疗效果。本研究旨在通过 Zentangle 艺术干预促进农村医护人员的身心健康。
这是一项准实验性初步研究。
2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 7 月举办了 Zentangle 艺术工作坊。共招募了 40 名医护人员。参与者被要求提供基线数据，并在工作坊前后进行 Brief Symptom Rating Scale（BSRS-5）、工作压力管理效果自评量表、一般自我效能感量表（GSES）和工作场所灵性量表（WSS）的测评。使用 SPSS 22.0 统计软件包进行数据分析。
中位数年龄（四分位距 [IQR]）为 32.00 岁（23.00-41.75 岁）。Wilcoxon 符号秩检验显示，干预后 BSRS-5 的中位数（IQR）为 4.0（1.25-5.0），低于干预前（P=0.004）。工作压力管理效果自评量表的得分也从干预前的 36.5（31.0-40.0）降至干预后的 36.5（31.0-40.0）（P=0.009）。GSES 或 WSS 的得分越高，表明压力管理和自我效能感得到了提高。GSES 干预后的得分 25.00（21.0-30.75）明显高于干预前（P=0.010），WSS 干预后的得分 104.0（88.0-111.75）明显高于干预前（P=0.005）。
本研究表明绘画疗法可有效缓解医护人员的压力，减轻工作场所的压力和挫折感，增强自我效能感，提高工作投入度，从而改善其身心健康。Zentangle 艺术为员工提供了多种表达情感的渠道，可改善工作场所医护人员的身心健康。它具有效益成本优势，可作为同行学习的基准。
