dc.description.abstractBackground: Art therapy is an experiential, non-threatening intervention, used especially with children. The current study aimed to explore the effect of integrative art therapy on the psychological well-being (mental health and self-perception) of pediatric cancer patients. Methods: Using a single-group pre–post research design, each therapy session was individually administered to participants for approximately 45 min. Fourteen participants (Boys = 9, Girls = 5) were recruited from the inpatient oncology unit at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre over two months. The age range was from 5 years to 13 years (M = 7.95; SD = 1.65). Mental health, including physical and emotional symptoms associated with cancer, was assessed using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale-Revised, while self-perception was measured with the House Tree Person projective drawing test. Results: The integrative art therapy model significantly improved positive self-image (F = 16.77, p < 0.01) and reduced negative self-image (F = 99.11, p < 0.01) and mental health problems from the baseline to the second and third phases (F = 19.50, p < 0.01). Conclusions: This integrative approach demonstrates its potential as an effective method to enhance self-perception, alleviate mental health challenges, and improve overall quality of life.eng
