AB - This study aimed to systematically analyze the effects of art therapy on pediatric and adolescent cancer patients to propose its clinical applicability and future research directions. Data analysis included studies published up to June 2024 without restrictions on the year of publication and was conducted systematically following PRISMA guidelines. Art therapy was found to enhance positive outcome variables (effect size [ES] = 1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.46 ~ 2.59, p = 0.005) and reduce negative outcome variables (ES = -1.39, 95% CI: -2.2 ~ -0.54). Specifically, it showed significant effects in improving quality of life (ES = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.09 ~ 2.28), reducing anxiety (ES = -1.15, 95% CI: -1.99 ~ -0.32), and managing stress (ES = -0.78, 95% CI: -1.49 ~ -0.08). The results of this study indicate that art therapy is effective in improving quality of life and alleviating anxiety and stress.
These findings suggest that art therapy has the potential to serve as a complementary and alternative treatment for mitigating psychosocial issues in pediatric and adolescent cancer patients.
