Thesis Study: Survey for those working with Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am passing this along for a former classmate working towards finishing

her thesis proposal. Below is the link to a short survey:

Flyer: Email Dear art therapists,

I am currently a third year graduate student working towards my Masters degree

in Art Therapy Psychology along with Marital Family Therapy at Notre Dame de

Namur University in Belmont, CA.

I am writing to request your participation in a study I am conducting for my

thesis about the reminiscence in adults with Alzheimer's disease or Dementia.

The criteria for participants is that you need at least one year of working

experience in your professional field, and have used art therapy and music to

elicit reminiscence in adults with Alzheimer's disease. In this survey, " art

therapy " refers to the use of the visual arts for therapeutic purposes. It does

not refer to drama, psychodrama, dance, movement, writing, or poetry.

If you meet the criteria above please click on the link below to connect with my

survey. The survey is very simple to complete and will take approximately 10-15

minutes of your time. Your participation is voluntary and you will not be

compensated for participation and there are no consequences for not

participating. If you are interested in helping with my research please click on

the link below.

Your participation means a great deal to me. The results will benefit my studies

and will also provide useful information in the field of art therapy with future

patients who have Alzheimer's. It will also benefit academic research at Notre

Dame de Namur University. I greatly appreciate your participation and response.

It would also be appreciated if you responded as soon as possible. Thank you

very much.

By completing this survey and submitting your answers, you are giving consent to

have your answers used in this study.

With Care,

Elena A. Padilla
