Article Synopsis
  • Art and design projects are increasingly being utilized in dementia care to enhance the well-being of individuals with dementia, yet the definitions and evaluations of "well-being" differ widely among research studies.
  • The study explores the evolution of the concept of well-being, its connection to health and quality of life, and conducts a scoping review of various studies focusing on art and design's role in supporting well-being for those living with dementia.
  • Findings indicate that well-being is often described in diverse terms related to social and emotional states, with no single method for evaluating the impact of arts engagement, but well-structured projects can still offer valuable frameworks that adapt to individual circumstances within dementia care.
