Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, Health Education.
This study sought to identify the effectiveness of recreation therapy protocols in improving the quality of life of active Cancer treatment patients and individuals considered to be in remission and/or Cancer survivors. Specifically, the current study sought to identify the effect of recreational therapy intervention participation (i.e., therapeutic arts, leisure education, and relaxation and stress management) on quality of life. The impact of diagnosis/treatment on patient caregivers is also affected. Thirty subjects participated in group intervention sessions designed to promote socialization/communication, self-esteem, creativity, and fine motor coordination. In addition three subjects provided extensive interview data detailing their caregiver experience. Results from the current study suggest that recreation therapy can provide positive therapeutic benefits when included in the Cancer treatment process.
