| description | Abstract Aim This study aimed to describe family caregivers of older people's experiences of participatory art interventions, including music, dance and visual arts. Design A descriptive qualitative study. Methods Thematic interviews were conducted with 12 family caregivers. Qualitative data were analysed with thematic analysis. Results The results illustrated the meaning of art groups, which included a shared feeling of togetherness, empowering and activating peer support and a sense of communality. Art groups also represented a hobby, enhancing caregivers' social and mental well‐being. The art groups could be described as an art‐driven, participatory shared experience. Participatory arts are noteworthy contributors to the well‐being of family caregivers and care recipients, especially from peer support and communality. Further research is needed to find out about participants' preferred art‐based activities and their impact on their well‐being. No patient or public contribution because of inflexibility in the timing of engagement. |
