Effects of Pastel Nagomi Art on Psychological Well-Being in Nursing Students
Sponsor: Min-Hwei Junior College of Health Care Management
Summary
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the effects of a Pastel Nagomi Art intervention on the psychological well-being of nursing students. Nursing students often experience high levels of stress and academic anxiety during their professional training. Pastel Nagomi Art, a therapeutic and accessible form of art making using soft pastels and fingers, has gained attention for its potential to foster relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional expression. This study employs a non-randomized, quasi-experimental design. Participants will be assigned to either the Pastel Nagomi Art intervention group or the control group based on their personal preference and availability. The intervention group will receive structured Pastel Nagomi Art workshops, while the control group will maintain their usual routine. Psychological well-being will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The results aim to provide evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating soft art interventions into nursing education to support student mental health.
