“…Among the selected articles, two specific ICTs ( Kontos et al, 2017 ; Dassa and Harel, 2019 ) conducted interventions in which people with CI took an active role, and in both cases, the affective and emotional modes of expression and communication reached positive outcomes. Two other ICTs ( Fields et al, 2019 ; Loewy et al, 2020 ) combined the passive and active roles of participants. In this case, it is interesting to note that in one intervention, caregivers were also involved ( Loewy et al, 2020 ), and the emotional and affective relationship between them and those they cared for was reinforced.…”

Benefits of Cultural Activities on People With Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review

2021

Museums and cultural institutions are increasingly striving to respond to the interests and needs of the society that hosts them. This means, apart from other actions, that these institutions must be involved in the health and wellbeing of society, and the creation of cultural activities aimed at people with cognitive impairment, a group of individuals that is growing worldwide due to the aging of society and the increasing prevalence of dementia. The involved sectors are aware of the potential and benefits of activities for this population, even though there is much research to be conducted. To date, no systematic review has focused on the benefits of cultural activities for cognitively impaired people. This study aimed to explore the benefits of different modalities of cultural activities with evidence from 145 studies from various databases, which met the inclusion criteria. Significant improvements in general cognition, quality of life (QoL), emotional wellbeing, socialization, and communication were generally reported after interventions, with a reduction in depression symptoms. There was not enough evidence to prove memory, language, or daily functioning improvements attributable to cultural interventions. There were no significant reductions reported in apathy, sadness, agitation, or anxiety.

“…Scenic or performing arts have been historically described as a useful tool to explore and express the most emotional and affective parts of the human being [ 59 ]. The approach this type of intervention can provide to CI patients may be the reason for the statistically significant result, since again, the benefits this type of intervention can provide to the participants are directly related to those outputs related to their emotional wellness more than their clinical well-being [ 60 , 61 , 62 ]. Again, there is an interrelationship between these meta-analysis results and the ones obtained during the previous SR [ 22 ], with the most reported outcomes for performing arts interventions being the ones related to socialization and communication as well as the ones related to emotional well-being.…”

Benefits of Cultural Activities on People with Cognitive Impairment: A Meta-Analysis

Background: Museums and cultural institutions are increasingly aware of both the interests and needs of society. Accordingly, these institutions are becoming allies in terms of health and well-being due to the importance of their social functions. Presently, many institutions create cultural activities aimed at cognitively impaired people, a group on the rise owing to the prevalence of dementia and the aging of society. Nevertheless, scientific evidence in this field remains scarce. As a result, the main objective of this research was to empirically evaluate and identify the benefits that cultural interventions can bring to cognitively impaired participants. Method: A meta-analysis (MA) was performed following PRISMA guidelines. When inclusion and eligibility criteria had been established, articles were subsequently selected through a strategic search of Web of Science, SCOPUS, PubMed, and Medline. Results: Twenty-six studies met the eligibility criteria, involving a total of 1201 participants with cognitive impairment. The results showed a statistically non-significant effect size when analyzing these cultural interventions for cognitively impaired people overall. However, when conducting partial meta-analyses (MA’), focusing on studies related to a specific disease, a particular type of treatment, or a specific type of evaluation, the results concurred with the conclusion of the previous systematic review (SR). Conclusion: Despite the high heterogeneity of the studies, benefits were identified in emotional well-being and social aspects but not in clinical ones such as the deterioration of cognitive or motor function, among others.
