Effect of Expressive Art Therapies on Quality of Life and Psychological Wellbeing of Teachers Who were Covid-19 Positive

Within the mental health community, the expressive arts are gaining popularity as a respected form of therapy; however, there is still much to be discovered in regard to its effectiveness with individuals who have stable mental health. Research completed to date includes the exploration of a variety of modalities and their benefits to those with mental illness, but it lacks an examination of the effect that the expressive arts have on overall quality of life and psychological well-being. The main objective of the present research was to analyze the quality of life and psychological well-being of teachers who tested positive for COVID-19. The World Health Organization’s Quality of Life (WHOQOL) and the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB) were tools used for the study.  In addition, the study attempted and proved that an enhancement in the quality of life (QOL) and psychological well-being through Expressive Art Therapies as an intervention method, contributes to better Quality Of Life (QOL) and Psychological Well-being.
