和諧粉彩創作對中高齡族群生心理影響之研究
The Effect of Nagomi Art on the Psychological and Physiological response for Middle-aged elderly adults
摘要
中 文 摘 要 高齡化趨勢之下，如何能夠健康老化是國人近年來努力的目標。高齡長者在老化過程中除了面對生理上的改變，在生活適應上的心理衝擊也是巨大的。這使得高齡長者在生活中容易焦慮感增加、幸福感降低、壓力感升高，若未能適時地找到紓解的方式，將可能導致罹患更嚴重的心理相關疾病。過去許多研究已證實，藝術創作活動如「彩繪曼陀羅」對心理健康提升有所助益，而近年來由日本傳入臺灣的「和諧粉彩」與之有許多相似之處。因此，本研究目的為探討和諧粉彩創作對於中高齡者焦慮感、壓力感以及幸福感的影響。本研究分為兩個階段，第一階段招募42位中高齡者隨機分配至三組(自由繪畫、彩繪曼陀羅、和諧粉彩創作)，在實施焦慮誘導後，比較創作活動對焦慮感減緩的差異。第二階段則招募20位中高齡者進行和諧粉彩長期（九週）創作的介入實驗。 第一階段的研究結果顯示，「和諧粉彩創作」對生理與心理感知的改善與「彩繪曼陀羅」有同樣的效果並比一般自由創作為佳。而第二階段的結果顯示，和諧粉彩創作對於中高齡族群焦慮感減緩、壓力感降低、幸福感提升方面皆有顯著的效果。其中原為「重度焦慮」「低度幸福感」「重度壓力感」的中高齡者在和諧粉彩創作介入後的改善效果更為顯著。此外，和諧粉彩創作對心跳與血壓方面也達有顯著的影響。整體而言，和諧粉彩創對中高齡身心皆有正向的效果，可作為未來中高齡改善身心的活動之一。 關鍵詞：中高齡、和諧粉彩、焦慮感、幸福感、壓力感

Abstract As the elderly population continues to grow, achieving healthy aging in recent years has become a goal to strive for in Taiwan. Besides experiencing physical declines, elderly people in the aging process deal with considerable psychological impact of life adaptation, resulting in increased anxiety and stress, decreased in happiness, which if not addressed in time may cause serious psychological disorders. Previous research have found that creative arts such as mandala coloring have positive impact on mental health. Pastel Nagomi Art, recently introduced to Taiwan from Japan, in many aspects is similar to mandala coloring. The objective of this study is to ascertain the effect of Pastel Naomi Art creativities on anxiety, stress, and happiness in middle-aged and elderly people. This research is divided in two phases; the first phase of this study consisted of recruiting 42 middle-aged and elderly, and randomly assign them to three groups (freestyle painting, mandala coloring, and Pastel Nagomi Art painting). After anxiety induction procedure, differences in anxiety reduction among these three creative painting groups were compared. The second phase consisted of recruiting 20 middle-aged and elderly to participate in a long-term (9 weeks) Pastel Nagomi Art creativity experiment. The result of Phase one study indicates that freestyle painting, mandala coloring, and Pastel Nagomi Art all have significant effects in reducing anxiety, and Pastel Naomi Art was found to have the greatest impact. The result of Phase 2 research shows that Pastel Nagomi Art painting significantly decreases anxiety and stress levels, and increases happiness for middle-aged and elderly people. Those participants identified as having「severe anxiety」, 「low happiness level」and「severe stress」 have greater significant improvements after engaging in Pastel Nagomi Art creation. Furthermore, creating Pastel Naomi Art has significant effects on heart rate and blood pressure. In sum, Pastel Nagomi Art has positive effects on middle-aged and elderly people’s body and mind, and can be used as one of the leisure activities to improve the body and mind of the middle-aged and elderly in the future.
