Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focused on the role of arts in dementia care in Japan, examining its benefits, implementation strategies, and current initiatives. It sought to benefit persons living with dementia and their carers, provide training and support to art coordinators and artists, collaborate with community organizations, and learn best practices from international researchers. International collaborations were created with dementia training and workshops were provided in collaboration with UK and US-based organizations and facilities. From these collaborations, symposia and training sessions were organized in Japan that targeted carers, artists, and art coordinators (2018, 2019, 2022). The project culminated with arts-based workshops that directly benefited the community in Toride, Ibaraki in coordination with community organizations (2022). Data was also gathered to further assess the effectiveness of arts interventions, explore optimal implementation strategies, and measure outcomes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
International collaborations were created and the importance of evaluation, co-production/co-creativity and machizukuri practices between researchers and stakeholders were proven necessary to establish the growth and development of using the arts as a component of dementia care.
