Resumen

Informamos aquí un programa de arteterapia realizado durante 16 meses en el Centro de Mayores San Joaquín y Santa Ana, en San Juan del Puerto (Huelva). Este proyecto se propuso evaluar el efecto (en términos de eficacia y efectividad) de la intervención arteterapéutica en personas mayores afectadas por enfermedad de alzhéimer, otras demencias seniles o trastornos neurocognitivos de iniciación tardía y/o por depresión. Se ha medido y valorado la utilidad de la arteterapia (en adelante, AT) en la mejora de la situación psicosocial de personas mayores afectadas por la enfermedad de alzhéimer (EA) o por trastorno neurocognitivo mayor (TNM) y personas mayores con depresión. Los tests sobre desarrollo cognitivo constatan una mejora comparativa en el grupo de intervención, respecto al grupo control, mejora significativa pero moderada. Respecto a percepción de calidad de vida, variables implicadas en el fortalecimiento emocional, motivacional y actitudinal, más conductas relacionadas con las relaciones interpersonales y la implicación en actividades dirigidas a la autonomía personal. La evaluación realizada por personal psicológico y del centro, más la emitida por evaluadores externos, concluye en afirmar que el programa de arteterapia ha mejorado la calidad de vida, desacelerando el deterioro cognitivo.
