Effects of group art therapy combined with breath meditation on the subjective well-being of depressed and anxious adolescents

Untitled

“…The increase of the depressive symptoms experienced by some of the participants could be associated with the increased age, lower income, poor physical health, physical disability, cognitive impairment, lack of care from the nursing home staff, lack social support and loneliness (Barca, et.al., 2010;Jongenelis, et al, 2004). Our finding about well-being is similar to the previous research that social interaction during the art activities improved happiness and satisfaction; and reduced emotional stress (Jones, et al, 2006;Kim, et al, 2014). The result on cognitive measure indicated that 12 sessions of social art activities is not enough to improve cognitive functioning.…”

“…The use of art activities in a social context has been found to have a positive impact on the well-being of elderly people in a nursing home (Maujean, Pepping & Kendall, 2014;Wang, et al, 2013). Social art activities are defined as activities that introduce art to stimulate social interaction between group members (Kim, Kim & Ki, 2014). The stages of social art activities consist of a beginning (the initial step is striving to explore personal feelings, often experienced as futile), artistic immersion (unearthing of previously hidden feelings and facing up to reality), interpersonal sharing, closure and termination (Moon, 2010).…”

“…The stages of social art activities consist of a beginning (the initial step is striving to explore personal feelings, often experienced as futile), artistic immersion (unearthing of previously hidden feelings and facing up to reality), interpersonal sharing, closure and termination (Moon, 2010). Social interactions during art activities provide opportunities for a depressed elderly person to form meaningful relationships with others, reduce feelings of isolation, share experiences, and resolve distressing emotional conflicts (Kim, et al, 2014;Rankanen, 2014). Social art activities with duration of 60-75 minutes are effective to reduce negative feelings about one self and others, to construct a positive self-image, and serve as a distraction from negative feelings about living in the nursing home (Im & Lee, 2014;Kim, 2013).…”

The Effect of Psychodrama on Subjective Well-Being and Trait Anxiety

“…The studies on subjective well-being in the literature have mainly applied a psycho-education curriculum to realize and express emotions (Kuzucu, 2006), increase forgiveness tendency (Çardak, 2012), improve social skills (Gülaçtı, 2009), gainlife skills (Ümmet-Demirci, 2017), cope with death anxiety (Tanhan, 2007) and search for meaning (Ok, 2016). It can be seen that experience-oriented group psychology counseling practices to increase subjective well-being are limited (Agha-Bagheri, Mohammad-Khani, Emrani, & Farahmand, 2012;Arsu, Erbay, Ünal, Erbay, & Gürgan, 2018;Duran & Tezer, 2007;S. Kim, G. Kim, & Ki, 2014).…”

Masa Emerging Adulthood pada Mahasiswa: Kecemasan akan Masa Depan, Kesejahteraan Subjektif, dan Religiusitas Islam

“…Individu yang ada di masa ini biasanya mengalami kebimbangan, ketidakpastian, frustasi dan rasa tidak aman dikarenakan mereka merasa belum menjadi dewasa tapi bukan lagi remaja (Martin, 2016). Dewasa awal biasanya menunjukkan ketidaknyamanan dan kekhawatiran tentang memilih sekolah atau pekerjaan (Kim, Kim, & Ki, 2014). Ketidakpastian dan kebimbangan yang terjadi pada individu ini menimbulkan ketidakstabilan baik dalam segi emosi ataupun kognitif.…”
