Interventions

  • Expressive Arts-Based Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention brings together the strengths of different art modalities, such as visual art, music, movement, dance, drama and writing to assist reflection and response in individuals to their personal issues. Such variety of art forms multiplies the avenues by which a person in intervention may seek meaning, clarity, insight and healing.

Study Details

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an age-related eye disease resulting in vision loss. Persons with AMD not only experience a gradual loss of ability in independent living, but also profound impairment in psychosocial well-being.The multimodal, expressive arts-based intervention (EXABI) that emphasizes imagination and creativity can be an engaging, enjoyable, and safe process of empowerment. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and process of an expressive arts-based intervention in enhancing psychosocial wellness and adjustment to gradual vision loss of persons with AMD. This current study will adopt a 2-arm randomized controlled design with treatment-as-usual control. Upon screening for inclusion exclusion criteria, baseline data will be collected; and eligible participants will be randomized into either an 8-week Expressive Arts-based intervention group or Treatment-As-Usual control group.
