This review documents arts applied to health interventions and health research in Ghana, examines evidence of their impact on health outcomes, and identifies research and practice gaps.
Eight databases (MEDLINE, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Humanities International Complete, Scopus, African Journals Online and PsycINFO) were searched for articles published between 2000 and 2022. Following screening, seventeen articles reporting sixteen eligible studies were selected.
Ten art forms (including comedy, music, theatre) were applied to eight health conditions (including HIV/AIDS, mental illness, COVID-19). Most studies involved artists and artist-researchers. The majority of studies were cross-sectional. Impact was reported on health education, illness management and community health development. Some studies engaged with health policy communities, but none reported impact on health policy change.
Creative arts have a reported measurable impact on selected health outcomes in Ghana. Participatory arts-based projects have the greatest potential for sustainable and transformational social health impact.
本综述记录了加纳将艺术应用于健康干预和健康研究的情况，考察了其对健康结果影响的证据，并确定了研究和实践方面的差距。
检索了八个数据库（医学期刊数据库、学术搜索完整版、护理学与健康领域数据库、健康资源：护理/学术版、人文国际完整版、Scopus数据库、非洲期刊在线数据库和心理学文摘数据库），以查找2000年至2022年期间发表的文章。经过筛选，选取了17篇报告16项合格研究的文章。
十种艺术形式（包括喜剧、音乐、戏剧）被应用于八种健康状况（包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病、精神疾病、新冠肺炎）。大多数研究涉及艺术家和艺术家-研究人员。大多数研究为横断面研究。报告了对健康教育、疾病管理和社区健康发展的影响。一些研究与卫生政策界有互动，但没有一项报告对卫生政策变化有影响。
据报告，创意艺术对加纳选定的健康结果有可衡量的影响。基于参与性艺术的项目在可持续和变革性社会健康影响方面具有最大潜力。
