Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hope-focused intervention based on the creative art approach on the level of hope of university students. The exploratory sequential design, among mixed patterns, was used in this study. In this experimental study, the random assignment Solomon 4-group design was used. The participants (n = 60) consisted of university students enrolled in an educational program at a public university in western Turkey. The Dispositional Hope Scale, Interview Forms, and Personal Information Forms were used as data collection tools. The hope-focused intervention based on the creative art approach was conducted with experimental groups for 6 weeks, once a week for 90 min. In order to determine the effect of the intervention, the quantitative data obtained were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and the t-test. Qualitative data were obtained by semi-structured interviews and analyzed via content analysis. The results of the analyses showed that hope-focused intervention based on the creative art approach had a significant positive effect on the participants' hope levels, regardless of the pre-test and post-test sensitivity.
