Clinical trials

This study aims to explore the feasibility of a newly developed theory-based inclusive art participation program for promoting psychosocial health of people with physical disabilities living in residential care homes. Specifically, the feasibility is assessed following the framework proposed by Bowen et al. (2009), which encompassed five aspects, including demand, implementation, practicality, preliminary effects, and acceptability. As for the preliminary effects, this project will evaluate self-esteem, sense of control, self-efficacy, mood, and social connectedness after the completion of program. This study will adopt a one group pretest-posttest approach with quasi-experimental design to collect both quantitative and qualitative data, employing a mixed-methods study design.
