The purpose of this explanatory mixed method pilot study was to better understand and describe the role of art therapy in caregiver identification and understanding of conscious awareness among PWD. Further, this study explored if caregiver empathetic care levels change as a result of engaging PWD in art therapy. A theoretical framework that offered three components by which art making and art viewing can benefit PWD was used. 16 PWD and 20 formal care staff from two LTC dementia communities in southwest Florida participated in weekly, one-hour art therapy sessions for 3 weeks. Caregivers completed a pre-and-posttest survey using the Empathetic Care Scale (ECS) prior to and after the art therapy sessions, along with a follow-up semi-structured interview. ANOVOA results showed no significant change in total ECS scores among caregivers between pre-and-post art therapy intervention (M = 8.7, SD = 3.1) compared to the week before the art therapy sessions began (M = 3.2, SD = 1.5, t(52) = 4.8, p < .001). However, the hypothesis may be partially supported as follow-up t-tests comparing pre/post scores of the ECS sub-scales found an increase in the level of Emotional Support (ES) sub-scale scores pre/post art therapy sessions (M = 5.78, SD = 1.06) compared to the week before the art therapy sessions began (M = 5.32, SD = 0.93 t(52) = 4.8, p < .001). Thematic analysis showed caregivers in this sample felt art therapy was helpful by improving the PWD's mood and often surprised the caregiver. Caregivers indicated art with PWD was enjoyable and would like to do more art therapy. In general, caregivers (76%) reported noticing an increase in PWD self-awareness and improved communication pathways. Results suggest caregivers found art therapy beneficial to PWD and to caregivers' perception of PWD conscious awareness. While the overall findings were not conclusive, further research is warranted.
