Abstract

Providing activity for older people with dementia within the homecare sector is challenging and requires innovative service delivery to capture the skills and capacities of residents. Chinese traditional art is an unconventional but forward-thinking way of engaging older people with dementia. This research aims to investigate the impact of emotional art therapy on people with dementia using Chinese traditional art. This study explores whether Chinese traditional art therapy interventions can be used to promote healthy ageing in British older people. A mixed methodology, using the Pool Activity Levels Engagement Measure to assess engagement and the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale assessment to explore the impact on mood and behaviour, was employed to obtain an understanding of older people’s engagement with the Chinese Traditional Art (CTArt) programme, and it is the impact on their behaviour. The CTArt programme took place over six weeks with 15 participants. Based on the research findings, it has been found that the CTArt intervention has a positive impact on the participant’s engagement, concentration and fine motor control. Overall, it was noted that individuals with different levels of ability were able to engage with this activity from single water ink on reusable paper through to free style Xieyi painting.
