| Abstract | The study investigated the impact of museum object handling sessions on hospital clients receiving occupational therapy in neurological rehabilitation and in an older adult acute inpatient mental health service. Methods: The research used a qualitative approach based on objectivist and constructionist methods, from which themes typical of the object handling sessions were derived. Results: Themes emerging from detailed analysis of discourse involving clients (n = 82) and healthcare staff (n = 8) comprised: distraction and decreasing negative emotion; increasing vitality and participation; tactile stimulation; conversational and social skills; increasing a sense of identity; novel perspectives and thoughts; learning new things; enjoyment and positive emotion. Critical success factors included good session facilitation for mitigating insecurity, ward staff support and the use of authentic heritage objects. Conclusion: Museums and their collections can be a valuable addition to cultural and arts occupations, in particular for long-stay hospital clients. © The College of Occupational Therapists Ltd. |
Using museum objects to improve wellbeing in mental health service users and neurological rehabilitation clients. From this an analysis of clients subjective responses to objects allowed us to both generate new concepts and determine factors for success in achieving wellbeing outcomes. Hocking examined the relationship between a persons identity and the objects associated with them specifically those the individual made or used referring to the growing knowledge of the therapeutic application of crafts and the transformative outcomes of occupational therapy intervention. Enjoyment and increasing positive emotion Participants looked forward to special sessions that they enjoyed simply as something different. Although it would have been useful to discover that museum object handling might be added to the repertoire of occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals many staff reported the facilitator being an outside presence contributed to the success of the sessions in that the person provided museum knowledge and provided a presence not associated with illness assessment or occupational therapy goals.
