“…Fletcher et al (2013) reasoned that “achievements such as creating something [with craft materials from an ‘artcart’], might off‐set the many losses patients experienced in the course of their illnesses”. Some researchers concluded that it was the creative process in addition to completion of the final product (during a tile‐painting exercise) that contributed to the patients' sense of accomplishment (Mische Lawson, Weden, et al, 2016).…”

“…However, art and music interventions were used by patients as a means of peer-helping and connection with others (Mische Lawson, Weden, et al, 2016;. The positive effects on well-being derived from helping others often exceed the positive effects that peer-support can offer the recipient (Konrath & Brown, 2013).…”

“…The Open Window media art intervention featured projected images from landscapes onto patients' isolation room walls and were thought to decrease the patients' sense of confinement (McCabe et al, 2013). In another study, nature and wildlife was a recurring theme in the imagery depicted during a tile-painting exercise (Mische Lawson, Weden, et al, 2016).…”

“…The beneficial elements of creative arts interventions in the Haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) population: Intrinsic factors pertaining to personal benefits such as growth, enhanced coping and adaptation in protective isolation and long in-patient stays. These themes are mapped alongside ACE for further analysis the supportive messages painted on the tiles became a vehicle for peer-helping, for example, "ENDURE", "It will be better", "Press forward" and "Think positive" (Mische Lawson, Weden, et al, 2016).…”

Objectives:The objective of this study is to systematically review the literature with the following aims: to survey the art and music interventions offered to the stem cell transplant population; to define the interventions' beneficial properties by conceptualising themes; to analyse these themes using behavioural activation principles as a lens and explore their value in alleviating isolation-related distress.Background: Patients undergoing stem cell transplant are at great risk of psychological morbidity, partly on account of prolonged hospital stays in protective isolation. This risk extends beyond discharge and into ambulatory care, negatively affecting quality-of-life and survival rates of the transplant recipients. Design: Integrative review methodology.Methods: A systematic search of 10 bibliographic databases was undertaken using terms relating to art, music and stem cell transplantation for the years 2012 to 2019.Records were assessed for quality and risk-of-bias using a critical appraisal tool and following the PRISMA Systematic Review checklist to guide reporting. Studies were analysed narratively and thematically. Results: The 16 papers were of mixed quality. Findings and treatment effects differed between and within studies. The beneficial attributes of the treatments were clustered and divided into two groups. The first consisted of intrinsic, patient-focussed factors: (1) Creative outlet or acquisition of a new skill; (2) achievement of normality; (3) mutual or peer-support; (4) relationship-building and (5) meaningful recreation, distraction and diversion. The second group considered extrinsic factors: (6) Improved communication; (7) enhanced spiritual care and (8) better healthcare experience. Conclusions: Several art and music interventions have been attempted which were beneficial to patients and generated a sense of achievement, connection and enjoyment. The interventions appear to uphold the principles of person-centred holistic care and have potential to generate a high-quality, supportive healthcare and working environment.
