ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of occupational and recreational therapy on symptom distress and mental toughness in perioperative period for lung neoplasms patients.Methods:By adopt convenient sampling method, a total of 92 cases of lung tumor patients were collected the lung cancer department in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from December 2019 to September 2020 in pulmonary oncology department. They were divided into observation group and control group according to the order of admission, with 46 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received routine care, the observation group implemented occupational and recreational therapy based on the routine care. At enrollment and 1 month after discharge, the effects were assessed by Chinese Version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-C) and Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), respectively.Results:After intervention, the symptom distress scores and life influence scores in MDASI-C were (4.45 ± 1.09) points and (5.24 ± 1.78) points in the observation group, significantly lower than in the control group (5.84 ± 1.67) points and (6.11 ± 1.32) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.59, 2.59, both P<0.05); the scores of tenacity, power, optimism and total scores of CD-RISC in the observation group were (28.12 ± 4.39) points, (21.07 ± 5.57) points, (10.67 ± 3.03) points and (59.86 ± 8.29) points, significantly higher than in the control group (24.54 ± 4.16) points, (18.23 ± 4.21) points, (9.16 ± 2.47) points and (51.93 ± 5.99) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.53-5.10, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Occupational and recreational therapy can effectively alleviate symptom distress and promote mental toughness of lung cancer patients in perioperative period.
ABSTRACT
este relato de pesquisa teve como objetivo ouvir o que as crianças dizem sobre a fisioterapia. A pesquisa contou com a participação de sete crianças com doenças crônicas que faziam fisioterapia por tempo indeterminado, em um hospital e em um centro de fisioterapia. Essas crianças foram entrevistadas a partir de questionamentos relativos à doença, ao tratamento e sobre brincar durante a fisioterapia. Propôs-se pesquisar com as crianças e não sobre elas, tendo em vista que a infância é uma categoria social e que as doenças crônicas sugerem mais atenção quanto à qualidade de vida infantil. Este estudo demonstra a possibilidade de uma aproximação efetiva com a educação, por meio da Sociologia da Infância, e da Saúde no âmbito de humanizar a relação entre fisioterapeuta e criança. Com os resultados, foi possível identificar que essas crianças relacionam a doença ao problema e à melhora, traduzindo a trajetória que a doença impõe em suas vidas. A doença é a geradora da hospitalização e do motivo de realizarem a fisioterapia, que é considerada o tratamento que atua no seu problema e objetiva sua melhora. As crianças deixam claro que querem brincar mais, sendo, assim, o planejar do brincar terapêutico nas clínicas e hospitais necessário. Conclui-se, portanto, que é indispensável incluir a terapia lúdica, para que brincar na fisioterapia seja prazeroso, estimulante, na tentativa de objetivar o brincar terapêutico. Esse é o desafio. Por esse viés, pode-se dizer que reabilitar, também, requer conhecimento pedagógico.
The aim of this research report was to listen to what children have to say about physiotherapy. Seven children with chronic diseases, who were being seen in physiotherapy in a hospital and a physiotherapy center for an indefinite period, participated in the study. These children were interviewed, and the questions related to their disease, treatment and play during physiotherapy. The study was designed from the children's point of view rather than being about them. Childhood is understood as a social category and chronic diseases require more concern for children's quality of life. This study demonstrates the possibility of bringing together education, through Sociology of Childhood, and Health, as an effort to humanize the relationship between therapist and child. The results showed that these children relate their diseases to the problem and to their improvement, and they are able to interpret the trajectory that the disease imposes on their lives. Disease is the generator of hospitalization and the reason they must do physiotherapy, which is understood as the treatment that acts upon their problem, in order to promote their improvement. Children clearly report that they want to play more, indicating the importance of planning therapeutic play in clinics and hospitals. We conclude that including recreational therapy is essential, in order for play in physiotherapy to be pleasant, stimulating, aiming for therapeutic play. That is the challenge. From this approach, it can be stated that rehabilitation also requires educational knowledge.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the recreational therapy on the ability of social communication in stroke patients. Methods58 cases of stroke patients were divided into recreational group (28 cases) and control group (30 cases). All of them received routine rehabilitation therapy, while the recreational group received the recreational therapy in addition. All patients were evaluated with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) before and after treatment. ResultsThe scores of FIM significantly improved after treatment (P<0.05) in both groups, and the scores in social communication improved more (P<0.01) in recreational group than in control group. ConclusionRecreational therapy may improve the ability of social communication more effectively for stroke patients.
ABSTRACT
@# Stroke patients usually are complicated with degeneration of body function as well as emotional and cognitive problems; consequently it will affect capacities of daily lives and recreation in most cases. Recreational therapy (RT) being favorable as far as stroke rehabilitation is concerned. The authors reviewed current developments of applications of RT to carry on a brief talk about present and future utilization of RT in stroke rehabilitation and it holds the point that when practicing RT we should introduce relevant evaluation Methods and techniques adopted in physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) area into comprehensive rehabilitation program for some better Results . Evidence based principal should also play a positive role to make a systematic and specific intervention plan in further procedure of RT treating stroke patients.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of recreational therapy (60 minutes * 3times/week * 6weeks) on dementia behavior & affection, and activity of daily living of senile people with dementia. METHODS: The subjects were 27 senile people with dementia, 16 experimental group, 11 control group, admitted at K hospital in Chungnam province in quasi-experimental study. The recreational therapy program was developed, based on the recreational program for senile welfare made by athletics science research institute in Chungnam National University(1997). It consisted of rhythm game, ball play, and beanbag game. The data were collected through questionnaires from May 1st to June 10th 2003 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi2-test, Fisher' exact test, and Man Whitney U test. RESULT: The dementia behavior and affection score was significantly different between the two groups (U=32.5, p=.005). The ADL score was significantly different between the two groups (U=12.0, p=.000). There were significant decrease in dementia behavior & affection, and improvement in ADL in the experimental group compared to the control group.

A study of the attitudes of 507 patients with chronic illnesses and 961 personnel working with these patients towards a recreational activity service was performed using a questionnaire. Most of them agreed that the hospital should arrange recreational activity for patients with chronic illnesses in addition to physical treatment (95.6, 99.0 percent of patient and personnel groups respectively). Both groups evaluated the benefit of recreational activity with a score of 7.93 ฑ 2.09 and 8.71 ฑ 1.42. Activities ranked first were reading books, watching television or a video, gardening and singing/listening to music. Concerning health professionals willingness to join these activities, 80% of the nurse group (registered nurses and practical nurses) were willing to do so whereas only 51.4 percent of the doctor group were available due to different working styles. Most of the personnel accepted that the recreational therapist should be the one who arranges this service. Both groups agreed that a recreational activity service should be free of charge (45.2-51.4 percent). From the results of this study, we can conclude that patients and personnel appreciate a recreational activity service for chronically ill patients, so we should develop and distribute this service to patients in order to improve their quality of life and the quality of our service.
