METHODOLOGY: This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in a Long Stay Institution for Older Persons, with 10 dwellers between 69 and 97 years old, who participated in art therapy workshops. To assess self-esteem, the Rosemberg scale was used before and after the intervention. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Two categories emerged, the first related to the re-signification of the concept of uselessness through art therapy. And the second pertinent to the elevation of self-esteem through art therapy. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Through the Rosemberg scale, it was possible to observe a positive change in the self-esteem feeling of the elderly, however, it is necessary to continue the activities, since the elderly women should be stimulated frequently to strengthen their self-image and consequent improvement in the quality of life.Acesso AbertoArteterapiaIdosoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEM::ENFERMAGEM DE SAUDE PUBLICATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
