Summary

This study tested whether a structured visual arts program could improve confidence and emotional well-being in stroke survivors living at home. 32 adults who had a stroke at least three months prior took part. The program was designed using a theory-based approach and aimed to boost self-efficacy and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Results will help determine if a larger trial is feasible.
