This scoping review aims to describe the range of research studies using arts-based data collection methods with immigrant and racialized older adults. A secondary aim is to identify challenges and strengths of using these approaches with this population. This review uses Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage scoping review framework with a final number of 16 references included for the study. Enhanced social connectedness, increased transparency and quality of findings, and self-empowerment were key strengths of using arts-based approaches for data collection. Challenges identified included resource limitations, cultural and language barriers, and barriers to meaningful engagement. Only a small number of studies have utilized arts-based methods with immigrant and racialized older adults. Arts-based approaches require unique methodological adaptations with this population but have the potential to increase engagement in research activities, authenticity of research findings and empowerment of older adults.
本范围综述旨在描述使用基于艺术的数据收集方法针对移民及被边缘化的老年人开展的各类研究。其次要目的是确定针对这一人群使用这些方法所面临的挑战与优势。本综述采用了阿克西和奥马利的五阶段范围综述框架，最终纳入了16篇参考文献用于该研究。增强社会联系、提高研究结果的透明度和质量以及自我赋权是使用基于艺术的方法进行数据收集的关键优势。已确定的挑战包括资源限制、文化和语言障碍以及有意义参与的障碍。仅有少数研究对移民及被边缘化的老年人采用了基于艺术的方法。基于艺术的方法需要针对这一人群进行独特的方法调整，但有潜力提高对研究活动的参与度、研究结果的可信度以及老年人的赋权水平。
