Background: Outcomes of using art in therapy overlap with goals of occupational therapy with older adults in long-term care, which include improving and maintaining health and well-being through engagement in occupations. There is a lack of evidence about how art activities could complement or inform occupational therapy. Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review is to map existing literature about how art activities are used in long-term care. Methods: Six electronic databases were searched. Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria and were analyzed to identify patterns and discrepancies. Findings: The analysis suggests art activities can contribute to well-being by improving mood, promoting communication and reminiscence, and supporting the development and deepening of social relationships. Implications: Occupational therapists should consider incorporating art activities as these offer therapeutic benefits and can be adapted to individual strengths and preferred type and level of participation.

背景：在治疗中使用艺术的结果与长期护理中老年人的职业治疗目标重叠，其中包括通过参与职业来改善和维持健康和福祉。缺乏关于艺术活动如何补充或告知职业治疗的证据。目的：本范围审查的目的是绘制有关艺术活动如何用于长期护理的现有文献。方法：检索六个电子数据库。十四项研究符合纳入标准，并进行分析以确定模式和差异。发现：分析表明，艺术活动可以通过改善情绪、促进交流和回忆以及支持社会关系的发展和深化来促进幸福感。启示：职业治疗师应考虑结合艺术活动，因为这些活动可以提供治疗益处，并且可以适应个人优势以及参与的首选类型和水平。
