目前的证据表明，参与性艺术活动，特别是集体歌唱，可能有助于老年人的福祉。然而，目前从参与者角度进行的前瞻性研究还很少。这项定性研究属于一项随机对照试验，旨在评估参与者对老年人社区歌唱项目的可接受性及其对健康和福祉的影响的看法。干预组招募的志愿者（n = 131）被邀请就他们在为期 14 周的歌唱项目的三个数据收集点的经历发表评论。子样本 (n = 19) 参加了回顾性半结构化访谈。数据经过内容和主题分析。 128 人的评论和采访表明，歌唱团体对身体、心理、社会和社区福祉带来了具体的、渐进的好处。计划结束后，福利往往会减少。并对今后此类团体的运作提出了建议。
Current evidence suggests that participatory arts activities, and particularly group singing, may contribute to the well-being of older people. However, there is currently a paucity of prospective research from the participant perspective. This qualitative study nested within a randomized controlled trial aimed to assess participants’ perspectives of the acceptability and effect on health and well-being of a community singing program for older people. Volunteers recruited to the intervention arm (n = 131) were invited to write comments on their experiences over three data collection points of a 14-week singing program. A subsample (n = 19) participated in a retrospective semi-structured interview. Data were subjected to content and thematic analysis. Comments and interviews from 128 individuals suggested that the singing groups led to specific, incremental benefits to physical, psychological, social, and community well-being. Benefits tended to tail off after the program ended. Suggestions were made for the future running of such groups.
