Art activities and qigong exercise for the well-being of older adults in nursing homes in Indonesia: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Interventions such as art programs and an integration of art and Qigong may give psychological benefits to older adults. Yet, results of the study need to be interpreted with caution and need to be replicated. A qualitative approach would be welcome to get an in-depth understanding of why art intervention is especially beneficial.
