本研究旨在呈現超個人取向之藝術治療團體在護理之家應用觀察之結果。本研究參與者為台灣中部海線某護理之家之住民。8位參與者在簡易心智狀態量表(MMSE)得分介於13-23分之間,平均年齡84.75歲。治療團體每週聚會一次,一次60至90分鐘,連續進行九週。研究者根據觀察記錄與攝影記錄進行質性資料分析,分析過程透過三位專業人員以三角測量法建立資料分析之信效度。分析過程分為案例內分析、跨案例分析兩階段進行。在案例內分析部分,八位參與者在九次團體中的身心靈呈現狀態,都分別以個案素描、研究發現、整體印象三個面向撰寫呈現。當個案文本清楚顯現之後,研究者再透過整體性鳥瞰與描繪,從個案分析顯現之文本進行跨個案分析,比對八位成員之間的異同,寫成跨個案報告。最後研究發現以案例內分析、跨案例分析、整體發現等三個層次呈現。研究發現--超個人取向之藝術治療適合認知功能正常之老人,實施過程如能將媒材與議題本土化並客製化,效果會更好。當超個人取向之藝術治療施用於失智老人時,需要發展不同的療癒目標、評估指標與評估工具,活在當下會比失智量表更具意義。
The Purpose of this study is to reflect the effect of the Group in transpersonal art therapy with the aged at nursing home. The participants of this study are eight over-80-year elders who are residents of a Nursing Home. The art therapy group for them lasted for 9 sessions. The group met once a week and accepted 90-minute art therapy each time. Data collections were through multiple channels. Including the records of observation, footnotes in field of researchers, videotapes of each session. Data analysis adopted Triangulation Measure through 3 professional raters. And findings are expounded with 3 parts (1) Within- Case Analysis, (2) Cross- Case Analysis, (3)The holistic influence of art therapy group. The last finding fed back Hospital and University as to improve the quality of service and teaching. Research has found that transpersonal art therapy is suitable for the elderly with normal cognitive function. If the implementation process can localize and customize the media and issues, the effect will be better. When transpersonal art therapy is applied to the elderly with dementia, different healing goals, evaluation indicators and evaluation tools need to be developed. "Living within Being" might be more meaningful than the dementia scale.
