A growing body of evidence suggests the positive impact of arts on health and wellbeing. The mechanisms underlying the impact however, remain overlooked.
38 Semi-structured interviews were held with 30 older adults and 10 artists, involved in five participatory art projects in the Netherlands. Case-based framework and cross-over analyses were done on the basis of Cousins et al.'s taxonomy.
Participatory art initiatives contributed to the wellbeing of older adults in a complex interplay with the artist, art form, group of participants, material aspects and continuity of activities. A welcoming environment appeared a consistent underlying mechanism for participants to grow on a personal and artistic level, connect with others and feel supported in their psychosocial wellbeing.
This article demonstrates the important social function participatory art can have for older adults, and argues for the importance of a thorough consideration of the context wherein underlying mechanisms and outcomes emerge.
越来越多的证据表明艺术对健康和幸福有积极影响。然而，这种影响背后的机制仍被忽视。
对参与荷兰五个参与式艺术项目的30名老年人和10名艺术家进行了38次半结构化访谈。基于卡曾斯等人的分类法进行了基于案例的框架分析和交叉分析。
参与式艺术活动在与艺术家、艺术形式、参与者群体、物质方面和活动连续性的复杂相互作用中，促进了老年人的幸福。一个温馨的环境似乎是参与者在个人和艺术层面成长、与他人建立联系并在心理社会幸福感方面获得支持的一致潜在机制。
本文展示了参与式艺术对老年人可能具有的重要社会功能，并主张全面考虑潜在机制和结果出现的背景的重要性。
