Overview

The research reported in this book aimed to investigate the effects of creative activity on stress and anxiety levels. The reasons for this was to investigate success in art therapy, to examine whether creative activities could be used to benefit the mental well-being of people in general and to study the link between creativity and mental well- being. Patients from a hospital's rehabilitation centre took part in a creative intervention and a before-after study was used to evaluate the results. A control group was selected and the mean scores of the two groups was compared as well as the before and after scores of the experimental group. In the experimental group, there was no statistically significant difference between the before and after scores on the SCL-90-R. Because the experimental group showed no difference, only one measure of the control group was taken, which also did not differ significantly from the scores of the experimental group. Reasons for the lack of statistical significance are discussed, and may be due to a lack of reported initial stress levels.
