Brief Summary

Introduction and Aim: Life after stroke begins a difficult period in which functional capacity is very limited. Disability persists for a long time, and various problems such as hemiparesis, hemiplegia, dysarthria, dysphagia, urinary and bowel incontinence, which are frequently encountered after stroke, can affect the quality of life in the long term. As non-pharmacological approaches, especially non-invasive methods, have gained attention, creative arts-based therapies have often been recommended for stroke survivors because they have an arts-based approach without side effects. It is thought that the study conducted will contribute to the literature as there are not many studies in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of art-based activities on stroke patients' hope and self-efficacy levels. Its sub-purpose is to reveal the feelings and thoughts that arise with art objects obtained from art-based activities applied to stroke patients. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomised controlled design. After the groups were determined, art-based activities module was applied to the intervention group for one week, while no additional intervention was made to the control group. Research data were collected using "Individual Introduction Form", "Herth Hope Index", "Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.0 package program. Written permission was obtained from the relevant ethics committee, hospital and participants to conduct the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Herth Hope Index

  It is a scale developed to measure the level of hope. The index consists of a 12-item Likert-type scale. This 4-point likert-type scale index assesses adults' general level of hope. Each item is scored on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), with a total score ranging from 12 to 48. The higher the score, the higher the level of hope.

  Day 1 and Day 7

• Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale

  It is a scale developed to measure the level of self-efficacy. The scores that can be obtained from the scale range from 10 to 40. An increase in the score indicates a higher level of self-efficacy in the individual.

  Day 1 and Day 7

• Individual Introduction Form

  This form was prepared by the researcher and includes questions regarding the sociodemographic and disease characteristics of the patients.

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention

Interventions

Art Based Activity OTHER

Art Based Activity Module consists of 3 art-based activities under the titles "My Life Journey", "The Power Within Me" and "Letter to the Future". Each activity consists of three stages. In the first stage, the participants were made to practice breathing exercises. At this stage, the participant was expected to become aware of himself and his ideas. In the second stage, art activity was carried out. In the final stage, the revealed art object was concretized by the participants with a verbal expression. The materials used in the activities (dry paint, pastel paint, watercolor) are dermatologically tested and consist of anti-allergen products.
