Hattori 2011 [24] | SF-8–Physical (PCS-8) & Mental (MCS-8) |
Simple calculations | Intervention significant improvement from baseline in MCS-8 subscale of SF-8 components: |
Percentage of patients showing a 10 % > improvement was compared between groups by chi-squared test. MCS-8 (p = 0.038; odds ratio, 5.54) | |
Apathy Scale (Japanese version) | |
Statistically significant improvement from baseline (p = 0.0014) in Apathy scale but not significantly different to control: | |
CFB Intervention (−3.2) vs Control (−1.1) p = 0.09 | |
Mini-Mental State Examination Score (MMSE) | |
Control group significant improvement in MMSE compared to art therapy intervention: | |
CFB Intervention (−0.02) vs Control (+1.1) p < 0.01 | |
Wechler Memory Scale revised (WMS-R); Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) Barthel Index; Dementia Behaviour Disturbance Scale (DBD); Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview | |
No significant differences in other items | |
Lyshak-Stelzer 2007 [18] | UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM-IV Child Version |
Arts and craft | Intervention significantly better at reducing trauma symptoms than Control: |

Milieu behavioural measures e.g. use of restraints | |
No significant differences for behavioural milieu | |
