“…Geue et al [16] and Bozcuk et al [14] discovered that patients with poorer well-being were the ones that had better improvements by participating in painting therapy. This finding suggests that baseline levels of well-being should be taken into account when implementing a painting therapy.…”

“…Two of them reported significant improvements of the quality of life in the intervention group with painting therapy [14] [20]. The remaining one presented no significant difference in quality of life between patients either with high or low levels of distress received painting therapy [16], however, improvements in the group of highly distressed patients in terms of role, emotional and social functioning and fatigue were discovered.…”

“…The remaining 3 studies [15] [18] [21] presented no significant improvement in post-traumatic growth, coping with illness or self-image. However, participants in the study of Geue [16] expressed positive subjective experiences through the whole intervention process.…”

“…Usually, the sessions took place in groups of mixed gender and age and consisted of 5 to 8 patients each group [15] The included studies reported phased tasks with aims and methods during painting therapy. In Geue's study [16], the intervention was consisted of 3 phases: participants learned use of material and practiced experimental drawing in phase I (session 1 -7); then participants started to express their ideas and make use of watercolor in phase II (session 8 -13); finally, participants created a book telling their own stories in phase III (session 14 -21). Painting therapy in Bozcuk's study [14] lasted for 12 weeks.…”

Background: Despite art therapy has been widely used in cancer population to improve their physical and mental health, painting therapy, as one form of art therapy, is seldom applied to adult cancer patients independently. Therefore, how painting therapy affects adult cancer patients' health outcomes needed to be explored sufficiently. Objectives: The purpose of this review was to assess and synthesize the latest evidence of painting therapy concerning adult cancer patients, and to provide some inspiration for clinical staff. Methods: A literature research of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsychoInfo, Psydex, CENTRAL, Google Scholar, British Library, CNKI, Wanfang, CQVIP electronic databases were undertaken with the following key words: art therapy, painting, drawing, cancer, neoplasm, tumor, carcinoma and oncology. A narrative synthesis was used according to PRISMA and the quality of study was assessed using acritical assessment tool. Results: Eleven papers reporting nine different research projects met the inclusion criteria. Generally speaking, painting therapy positively affected health outcomes. The impacts on patients include improvements in quality of life, coping with disease, mental health and somatic symptoms. However, inconsistency still exists. Three studies failed to show positive effects of painting therapy on post-traumatic growth, distress and coping behavior in participants. Conclusion: Robust evidence was found in rehabilitation of patients with various types of cancer. Painting therapy evidently affected cancer patients in a positive direction. However, the application of painting therapy to cancer patients needs to be explored further due to few studies on this topic.

Considering the physical, and psychological impacts and challenges brought about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), art therapy (AT) provides opportunities to promote human health and well-being. There are few systematic analysis studies in the fields of AT, which can provide content and direction for the potential value and impact of AT. Therefore, this paper aims to critically analyze the published work in the field of AT from the perspective of promoting health and well-being, and provides insights into current research status, hotspots, limitations, and future development trends of AT. This paper adopts a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative analysis including bibliometric analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results indicate that: (1) the current studies on AT are mostly related to research and therapeutic methods, types of AT, research populations and diseases, and evaluation of therapeutic effect of AT. The research method of AT mainly adopts qualitative research, among which creative arts therapy and group AT are common types of AT, and its main research populations are children, veterans, and adolescents. AT-aided diseases are trauma, depression, psychosis, dementia, and cancer. In addition, the therapeutic methods are mainly related to psychotherapy, drama, music, and dance/movement. Further, computer systems are an important evaluation tool in the research of AT; (2) the future development trend of AT-aided health and well-being based on research hotspots, could be focused on children, schizophrenia, well-being, mental health, palliative care, veterans, and the elderly within the context of addressing COVID-19 challenges; and (3) future AT-aided health and well-being could pay more attention to innovate and integrate the therapeutic methods of behavior, movement, and technology, such as virtual reality and remote supervision.
