中文摘要

本研究旨在探討臺灣熟齡者參與正向藝術治療團體後之經驗,以及參與此正向藝術治療團體對於 熟齡者之老化調適影響內涵。本研究以現象學為研究取向,並參考 Hycner 現象學取向分析方法進 行資料分析,共有 8 位 50—65 歲熟齡者參與。將熟齡者參與正向藝術治療團體之經驗整理出三個 階段,分別是「正向藝術治療團體參與,具象熟齡生活,勾勒理想老化樣貌」、「團體參與歷程, 接觸不同熟齡樣貌,拓展優勢與資源」,以及「展現彈性與獨特熟齡樣貌」。研究結果將團體進 程歸納出三部分,第一部分為「正向藝術治療團體的參與,展現與看見熟齡者經驗與內在狀態」, 當中透過創作主題與藝術媒材,映照熟齡者之內在需求,以及團體中藉由創作與回饋看見過往生 命經驗,促進自我關注;第二部分為「團體中創作,運用不同媒材靠近、覺察、拓展熟齡獨特樣 貌」,則透過團體成員各自不同藝術表現,看見不一樣的熟齡樣貌,也從團體中刺激運用多元媒 材,展現熟齡內在;第三部分為「透過參與正向藝術治療團體,體驗熟齡成功調適歷程」,透過 創作與個人之連結,促進整合、接納與珍視邁入熟齡的自己,進一步發展積極行動。最後提出實 務上帶領正向藝術治療團體於熟齡族群之相關建議。

英文摘要

Taiwan’s population is aging more rapidly than are those of many countries. Enabling older adults to maintain their physical and mental health and quality of life as they age is an urgent task. Many theories and solutions from the West are adopted due to cultural differences. In this study, to expand and adjust the localized practical experiences reported in the literature (Hendriks et al., 2019), we designed a relevant exploration group for older adults on the basis of the concept of positive art therapy to encourage them to perceive their advantages during the aging process. By drawing on rich life experience and exploring the connotations of actual participation experience and adjusting for aging, we obtained novel insights into how the life happiness of older adults in Taiwan can be improved. Our goal was to explore the subjective experiences of Taiwanese older adults in a positive art therapy group and examine the effect of these experiences on their aging adjustment. Eight healthy adults aged 50–65 years, retired or without a full-time job and living independently, participated in an eight-session positive art therapy program. A phenomenological approach involving Hycner’s phenomenological orientation was used for analysis. A program was implemented over eight consecutive weeks, with positive art therapy as the main theme. Each session lasted 2 hours, and seven older adults participated in all sessions. One of the participants took one leave of absence and did not fully participate. This program was based on the PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning, and Achievemnet) happiness model and had positive psychology as its creative theme. Its basic structure was flexibly adjusted depending on the actual participation status of each participant. In the first week of the program, the group leader asked the participants to select magazine images that reflected their current life to enable them to introduce themselves. Later on, the leader asked the participants to manipulate these images by moving them around to reflect the life that they could foresee for themselves. In the second and third weeks, an artwork theme referred to as “The Greatest Achievement” was adopted. Within this theme, the participants were asked to create secondary artworks and were guided on how to appreciate their own and others’ work from an artistic perspective. They were also encouraged to perceive the characteristics and strengths of each artwork. In the fourth week, discussions on achievements and personal strengths were held, supplemented by a list of positive characteristics and exclusive badges. In the fifth week, a creative theme referred to as “Mature Life Challenge” was adopted. In the sixth week, the participants were asked to create another artwork while imagining how this artwork would change if they had someone with whom they could face a particular challenge. Later on, the participants were asked to focus on their interpersonal relationships and resources. In the seventh week, the participants were asked to express themselves through pieces of artistic paper of different textures. At the end of the program, a portfolio was created to collect the artworks created over the preceding weeks. This process enabled the participants to rename and sort the artworks. Once the program was complete, the subjective experiences of the participants were organized into three stages: “Positive Art Therapy Group Participation to Visualize Mature Life and Outline the Ideal Aging Profile,” “Group
