Healthcare professionals’ perceptions of the value and impact of the arts in healthcare settings: A critical review of the literature

Healing built-environment effects on health outcomes: environment–occupant–health framework

“…Literature review papers were evaluated on the basis of findings and research trends that were identified. For example, it is quite consistent in the reviews that arts interventions are perceived to have a positive impact on health and wellbeing (Daykin, Byrne, Soteriou, & O'Connor, 2008;Moss, Donnellan, & O'Neill, 2012;Wilson, Bungay, Munn-Giddings, & Boyce, 2016).
