简要总结
To address perceived loneliness via citizen empowerment, ARTISAN (Aspiration and Resilience Through Intergenerational Storytelling and Art-based Narratives) was developed by the Principal Investigator in partnership with the National Arts Council and the National Museum of Singapore. A 2018 pilot study was conducted with the aim to establish ARTISAN's intervention framework, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in promoting resilience, social connectedness, wellbeing, personhood and nationhood. The current research builds on the empirical foundation of the pilot study and seeks to deconstruct the ARTISAN intervention for gaining a deeper understanding of its underlying mechanisms for promoting positive life changes among youth and senior participants such as reduced loneliness, enhanced resilience, psychological wellbeing, social connectedness and sense of nationhood.
详细描述
Objective
The core objective is to critically investigate and assess the independent and combined efficacy of each key intervention components of ARTISAN's multimodal framework, which consist of: 1) full ARTISAN condition; 2) intergenerational participatory arts condition; 3) intergenerational art space condition; 4) intergenerational storytelling condition; and 5) control condition of physical activity.
Methods: Utilizing a five-arm, multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, 70 youths and 70 seniors (N=140) from 10 collaborating sites will be invited to participate in a 5-weeks intervention programme under one of five conditions (ARTISAN condition, Participatory Arts condition, Art-space condition, Storytelling condition, Control condition). Quantitative measurements will be taken at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and ten week post baseline the interventions.
Significance: The results generated will serve to illuminate the intricate pathways in which arts and heritage can cultivate positive life changes, and address misconceptions and about the pivotal roles that arts and heritage play in health promotion.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Loneliness (ULS-8) scores from baseline
时间窗: Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).
The 8-item UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8) is used to assess Loneliness. Participants will be asked to indicate their agreement for statements on a 4-point scale.
Changes in National and Cultural Identity (NATID) scores from baseline
时间窗: Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).
National identity is assessed by a modified version of the National Identity Scale (NATID) which comprises 8-items. Participants will be asked to rate their agreement on statements regarding national heritage and cultural homogeneity on a 7-point likert scale.
Changes in Resilience (ER-11) scores from baseline
时间窗: Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).
Resilience is assessed by the 11-item refined version of Ego-Resilience Scale (ER-11). Participants will be asked to indicate their agreement for statements on a 4-point scale.
Changes in Social Connectedness (MOS-SS) scores from baseline
时间窗: Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).
Social Connectedness is measured by the Emotional, Affectionate, and Positive Interaction sub-scales of the Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SS). Participants will be asked to respond to 14-items on a 5-point likert scale.
次要结局
- Changes in Self-esteem (RSES-4) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
- Changes in Psychological wellbeing (PWB) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
- Changes in Depressive symptoms (PHQ-4) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
- Changes in Life satisfaction (SWLS) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
- Changes in Quality of life (WHOQoL-8) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
- Changes in Spiritual wellbeing (FACIT-Sp) scores from baseline(Participants will be assessed at three time points: [T1] baseline; [T2] immediately post-intervention/second baseline (5 weeks post T1); and [T3] 5 weeks follow-up/ immediately post-intervention (5 weeks post T2).)
