About

The study will consist of two stages. The first stage of the study expects to find associations within dependent variables: depression level, resourcefulness, spiritual resourcefulness, and spiritual health in older adults. The second stage estimated that art drawing interventions will be effective for improving depression levels, resourcefulness, spiritual resourcefulness, and spiritual health.

Full description

A cross-sectional research design will be used in the first stage, and the second stage of the research will be an intervention and longitudinal study with a randomized control trial design. In the first stage, four instruments will be applied, such as the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Resourcefulness Scale (RS), Spiritual Resourcefulness Scale (SpRS), and Spiritual Screening Tool for Older Adults (SSTOA), to measure the levels of depression, resourcefulness, spiritual resourcefulness, and spiritual health of older adults at nursing homes in Indonesia. Three hundred older adults will be recruited through purposive sampling in the first stage of the study, while 128 participants will be recruited and randomized and assigned to both the experimental and control groups. There will be 64 subjects in each group. The art drawing intervention will be applied and last for 6 weeks in the experimental group. Five times of examinations about the related variables will be performed at the first week before intervention implemented (T0); the second measure will be performed 3 weeks after the intervention started (T1); 6 weeks of drawing intervention, the third examine will be tested (T2); and 1 and 2 months after the intervention completed, the participants will be asked to test for the T3 and T4
