- 소개/요약In a mixed methods study, we explored the suitability of a 12-week arts-based mindfulness group program for adults experiencing anxiety/depression. We were interested to learn if an arts-based mindfulness intervention would be suitable and beneficial for these adults. We compared findings from this intervention with adults who attended a 12-week cognitive-behavioral group. From a total of 32 participants who sought intervention at a mental health service, 15 participants chose to participate in the arts-based mindfulness group and 17 participants participated in the cognitive-behavioral group. Using the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, data was collected using pre and post-intervention self-report scores on depression and anxiety. Post-intervention group interviews were also conducted. A MANOVA indicated that participants in both intervention groups self-reported lower anxiety and depression scores, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Qualitative analysis indicated that both group programs had benefits for the participants but the experience of group participation in the two programs appeared different, for example, the arts-based group participants stressed mutual aid and enjoyment of the intervention while the other group participants were focused on individual learning. The arts-based program appears to be suitable for adults experiencing anxiety/depression warranting further investigation.
