This conceptualization underscores the intricate interplay between psychological resources and academic success within the educational context.…”

The present study explores the intricate dynamics influencing the self-efficacy of Chinese university students through the interplay of participation in artistic activities, positive psychological capital, and emotional intelligence. In the context of technological advancements and various challenges post pandemic, this study delves into the multifaceted aspects of university life, where arts education plays a pivotal role in addressing students' emotional needs. By integrating emotional intelligence with self-efficacy, this study underscores the positive impact of artistic engagement on self-efficacy, while emphasizing on the transformative power of these pursuits. Also, this study establishes that the optimism and resilience contribute to this relationship by considering the mediating role of positive psychological capital. The moderating influence of emotional intelligence in the complex dynamics between arts education and positive psychological capital is another concern, thereby emphasizing the nuanced role of emotional intelligence. With a structured set of questions that were administered to 673 participants with 93.61% recovery rate, this study performs the Cronbach's α-test, validation factor, and several related tests in SPSSStatistics 29.0, bootstrap, and AMOS 25.0 software. Current results shows the importance of a holistic approach in Chinese institutions. With a focus on promoting artistic engagement to enhance students' self-efficacy, this study determines the profound impact of arts education on students' overall wellbeing and educational experience.

“…The teaching of drawing techniques cannot be called art therapy either, suggesting that 'therapeutic' is its fundamental attribute. Unlike traditional talk therapy and analytic therapy, painting art therapy involves the creation, appreciation and communication of artwork by the client under the guidance of the therapist (Park & Cha, 2023;Sutarjo, 2023). It does not require art-related skills and does not examine the aesthetic level of the client, but rather focuses on how the art experience in therapy can contribute to the individual's perception and integration of self (Sutarjo, 2023).…”

This paper explores the emergence of painting art therapy as a major breakthrough in humanistic medicine, and its use as a clinical adjunct to treat various diseases. Through a literature review, the paper reveals that the healing mechanisms of painting art therapy are based on a combination of factors, including the Mind-Body Connectivity theory and brain plasticity. The therapy is effective due to the immersion in the present moment in a mindfulness way, non-verbal and symbolic forms that facilitate free expression and reconstruction, and a high-quality therapeutic relationship. The widespread use of painting art therapy proves its universality and effectiveness, highlighting the importance of humanities in medical settings.

“…Recently, some interventions were innovatively designed to combine CBT with grief theory such as the dual process model of coping with bereavement (DPM) (Brodbeck et al, 2019 ) and the Worden’s task model of grieving (Dominguez-Rodriguez et al, 2023 ). Internet-based grief interventions have been also expanded to art therapy based on solution-focused brief therapy and the meaning-making approach to bereavement (Park & Cha, 2023 ) and yoga intervention combining physical exercise and mindfulness cultivation (Huberty et al, 2020 ; Sullivan et al, 2022 ).…”

Background: In China, mental health services do not currently meet the needs of bereaved people with symptoms of prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Internet-based grief interventions may help fill this gap, but such programmes have not yet been developed or evaluated in China. The proposed study aims to investigate the effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility of an online self-help intervention programme named Healing Grief for bereaved Chinese with prolonged grief, and to explore the psychological mechanisms of potential improvements. Methods: We designed a two-arm randomised controlled trial. At least 128 participants will be randomly assigned to either an Internet-based intervention group or a waitlist-control group. The Internet-based intervention will be developed based on the dual process model, integrating techniques of psychoeducation, behavioural activation, cognitive reappraisal, and meaning reconstruction, and will be delivered via expressive writing. The intervention comprises six modules, with two sessions in each module, and requires participants to complete two sessions per week and complete the intervention in 6 weeks. The primary outcomes include effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility. The effectiveness will be assessed by measures of prolonged grief, posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Acceptability and feasibility will be evaluated using survey and interview on user experience characteristics. Secondary outcomes include moderators and mediators, such as dual process coping, grief rumination, mindfulness, and continuing bond, to explore the psychological mechanisms of potential improvement. Assessments will take place at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: The proposed study will determine the effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility of the newly developed online self-help intervention for bereaved Chinese with prolonged grief and clarify how the intervention helps with symptom improvements. Such an intervention may play an important role in easing the imbalance between the delivery and receipt of bereavement psychological services in China.
