Therapy at Uf Health Shands Hospital Arts in Medicine Dance and Movement

Overview

Each of our Labs on the "Arts, Health, and Social/Emotional Well-Being" focus on at least two of the following research questions under "Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits" or "Non-Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits":

Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits

  • What changes in concrete or mental health outcomes are experienced by subjects receiving creative arts therapies to care for one or more diseases, disorders, or wellness conditions?
  • What is the physiological or psychological machinery of action for a creative arts therapy in treating a illness or disorder or in improving symptoms for a chronic disease, disorder, or wellness condition?
  • What are the comparative therapeutic benefits of creative arts therapies relative to each other or to non-arts-based interventions?
  • What is the comparative toll-effectiveness of a creative arts therapy and one or more not-arts-based interventions?
  • How does dosage (i.eastward., frequency, duration, or intensity) of a artistic arts therapy relate to individual or plan-level outcomes?
  • How does the artistic arts therapy benefit caregivers or family unit members?

Not-Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits

  • What are the social, emotional, physical, and/or physiological wellness benefits of the arts for individuals, groups, or societies?
  • What physiological or psychological mechanisms or group dynamics are at work in achieving those benefits or related outcomes?
  • What kinds of art forms are invoked in these relationships, and at what levels of participation?
  • How do these benefits or related outcomes vary past historic period, socioeconomic characteristics, other demographic and behavioral patterns, and/or past health or disability condition?
  • How practise these benefits and related outcomes compare with those achieved by other health and wellness strategies or interventions?

Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Principal Investigator: Tamara Underiner, PhD

Arizona Country Academy will develop a new Caregiving Research Initiative within its Creative Wellness Collaborations enquiry hub, which volition examine the role of three different fine art forms in supporting three different caregiving contexts.

  1. What are the social, emotional, physical, and/or physiological health benefits of participating in the arts for individuals, groups, or societies?
  2. What physiological or psychological mechanisms or grouping dynamics are at work in achieving those benefits or related outcomes?
  3. What kinds of art forms are invoked in these relationships, and at what levels of participation?
  4. How exercise these benefits or related outcomes vary by one'southward age, socioeconomic characteristics, other demographic and behavioral patterns, and/or past wellness or disability status?

Rice University, Houston, TX
Primary Investigator: Christopher Fagundes, PhD

In partnership with Musiqa, Rice University will establish a inquiry hub for measuring the furnishings of music-making and music engagement on cerebral and social-emotional well-being. The Lab's keystone report—a randomized, waitlist-control trial—will examine older adults with balmy cognitive damage who volition undergo a six-calendar week course combining musical exposure, inventiveness, and functioning. The plan culminates in creation of a final composition, with participants performing to family, caregivers, and members of the community. Upshot measures will include pre- and post-intervention assessments on intelligence and cognitive flexibility; loneliness, social support, and perceived psychological stress; and neural markers such as brain modularity and flexibility. The researchers hypothesize that the program studied nether the Research Lab tin provide a model for addressing the need for depression-cost, nonpharmacological interventions for cognitive dumb patients and their caregivers.

The research agenda will address the following research aims:

  1. To study the cognitive and mental health outcomes experienced past cognitively impaired subjects receiving a music-based intervention;
  2. To study the physiological (brain-based) machinery of action for a music-based intervention in improving or slowing the pass up of cognitively impaired patients; and
  3. To bear a survey of how music interventions benefits the social and emotional well-being of caregivers and affects their power to look after their cognitively impaired charges.
