Purpose: This study is a systematic literature review aimed at identifying and discussing the benefits and effectiveness of visual arts interventions on psychological responses in post-stroke patients.
Methods: Article searches are performed from Pubmed, ProQuest, Sage, and other search results databases.
Results: A total of 8 articles were selected and a discussion was carried out regarding visual art interventions on psychological responses in post-stroke patients. Visual arts therapy (drawing, painting, and digital) has been to be effective for psychological responses in stroke survivors.
