摘要：

Background: Art therapy offers a creative outlet for patients in palliative and hospice care to express emotions, manage distress and enhance wellbeing by addressing physical, emotional and spiritual challenges. Aims: This review evaluates the effectiveness, challenges and outcomes of art therapy in improving the quality of life for patients in palliative and hospice care. Methods: An integrative review. Findings: The review of 27 studies identified four key themes: (1) the effects of art therapy on the quality of life of patients, (2) intervention and patient outcomes, (3) improved wellbeing through self-expression, and (4) challenges in care delivery. Art therapy significantly reduced emotional distress, including anxiety, depression and psychological fatigue, while alleviating physical symptoms, like pain and exhaustion. It fostered emotional expression, personal growth and coping skills, helping patients manage their conditions more effectively. Participants also reported enhanced self-awareness, stronger interpersonal connection and a greater sense of control over their lives, leading to improved emotional and physical wellbeing. Conclusion: Art therapy provides significant benefits by alleviating emotional and physical distress and enhancing wellbeing. Integrating art therapy into palliative and hospice care supports holistic, patient-centered care, though further research is needed to address access barriers and ensure consistent delivery.

However, unlike Althusser, who framed power as a negative operation performed upon the subject by agents of "ISAs," rather than both a negative and positive operation that produced new sorts of subjects, my usage of "hail" is also more simply meant to denote an act of recognition by an actor in a particular mode of address or object (such as a diagram).

New York: Verso, 2001). When one recognizes themselves in a specific mode of address they are hailed - and acts of hailing impart ideologies, create subjects, bring out new constituencies, create new publics, form new polities, enact new stakeholders, and assist in materializing new realities. This is as true in health IT policy as in any other field of activity. This approach is also informed by Michael Warner's work, particularly in the opening pages of Publics and Counterpublics, where he wr

ONC's ecosystem envisions chaotic realities like these, that require constant tweaking, tuning, and tinkering: both in policy and local environments where technologies are used. Describing messy realities requires messy - if also exacting - theorization: theory that, along with the realities toward which it is aimed, also produces new realities., DOI [DOI 10.14658/PUPJ-PHR
