舞蹈治療視野下的身體療癒力—從與失智長者工作的經驗談起
全球失智人口逐年增加,2019 年底台灣失智人口已達 29 萬人,為值得重視的社會議題。照顧者面對患者與自身亦面臨老化的壓力,也成為心理健康的焦點。
亞里斯多德認為,追求幸福是為人的本性,臨床心理學家也證實幸福是會相互感染。所以,照顧者的幸福感(Well-Being)為本研究焦點。幸福感是指個人的主觀經驗感受,包含情感及認知層面,對生活進行的評估。目前相關研究多著重在失智長者上,對照顧者的關注較少。
舞蹈治療透過動作達到身心及社會功能整合的狀態,是近年非藥物治療正在發展的一環。本研究以個案研究方式,收集參與二十次舞蹈處方箴的照顧者幸福感量表(The Chinese Aging Well Profile ),探討提升失智長者的幸福感下,對照顧者幸福感會帶來的影響。
關鍵詞：失智長者、照顧者、幸福感、舞蹈治療
healing power of the body from the perspective of dance therapy - from the experience of working with the elderly with dementia
The global population with dementia is increasing year by year. At the end of 2019, the number of dementia population in Taiwan has reached 290,000, which becomes a severe social issue. The pressure of caring for the patients and themselves of the caregiver has also become the focus of mental health.
Aristotle believes that the pursuit of happiness is the nature of human beings, and many clinical psychologists have also confirmed that happiness mutually contagious. Therefore, well-being of caregivers is the focus of this research. Well-being refers to an individual’s subjective experience and feelings, including an emotional and cognitive structure, to evaluate one's own life. At present, most of the relevant research focuses on the effectiveness of improving the happiness of the elderly with dementia, and less attention is paid to their caregivers.
Dance/Movement Therapy connects body and mind through movements to achieve a state of integration of body, mind and social functions. At the same time, patients can communicate and get along with each other to transfer energy and happiness. This is a part of the development of non-drug therapy in recent years.
This study will use the above theories and case studies to collect the Chinese Aging Well Profile for the caregivers who participated in the dance prescription for 20 times, and explore how to improve the happiness of the elderly with dementia. The happiness of the caregiver will have a positive impact.
