Kalir, Shoshi Keisari, Hod Orkibi, Rim Abu-Nashef, Neta Singer Abstract Creative Arts Therapies (CATs) utilize various art forms to foster psychological growth, particularly among older adults.The current study explored the implementation patterns of CATs in facilities that cater to older adults’ needs in Israel, and especially the barriers and facilitating factors of the implementation processes. Our research consisted of two studies: a qualitative study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to CATs implementation, and a quantitative study that included a survey to characterize CATs implementation in Israel.The qualitative sample (n=18) included managers, social workers, CATs therapists, and older adult clients in community settings. The quantitative study distributed a structured survey to 62 CAT therapists treating older adults, analyzing therapist demographics, practice settings, and key variables. Subgroup comparisons highlighted differences in training, supervision, and work environments, offering a comprehensive view of CATs implementation. Barriers to CATs implementation included a lack of legally established standards, insufficient funding, preconceptions about CATs and mental health among older adults, and decision makers, and limited awareness of the field. Facilitating factors included prior familiarity of managersand policymakers with CATs, recognition of their effectiveness, therapists’ strong motivation, flexible intervention strategies, and implementation frameworks. Findings underscore the need to raise awareness of CATs’ benefits and ensure accessible mental health care for community-dwelling older adults. Addressing misconceptions about CATs and mental health treatment is essential for improving attitudes among older adults and policymakers.","cbCaihcTVuaLnZ6s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihcTVuaLnZ6s","pdf",491894,"English","# Abstract\n## Implementation patterns in Israel\n## Barriers and facilitating factors\n## Implications for community mental health care","[{\"question\":\"What are Creative Arts Therapies (CATs) used for in the study?\",\"answer\":\"CATs use various art forms to foster psychological growth, especially for older adults.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research on CATs implementation conducted?\",\"answer\":\"It combined a qualitative study (n=18) to identify barriers and facilitators and a quantitative survey of 62 CAT therapists.\"},{\"question\":\"What key barriers and facilitators were found for CATs implementation?\",\"answer\":\"Barriers included lack of legally established standards, insufficient funding, and limited awareness; facilitators included prior familiarity of decision makers with CATs, recognition of effectiveness, and therapist motivation with flexible strategies.\"}]","IMPLEMENTING EVIDENCE-BASED CREATIVE ARTS THERAPIES IN FACILITIES CATERING FOR OLDER ADULTS | PDF",1790642433]
