Evaluation of a Horticultural Therapy Program for Care Home Residents with Mental Illness
No full textHorticulture has long been used as a leisure or social activity in care homes, but there were few evaluation
studies of Horticultural Therapy (HT) for care homes residents with mental illness. This study examined the process and outcomes of a standardized horticultural therapy program for care home residents with severe
mental illness. Fifty participants were randomly assigned to an 8-session HT group and a comparison group (n = 25 for each group). The process and outcomes of the program, including stress and anxiety, mental well-being, and degree of engagement in meaningful activities were obtained through self-completed
questionnaires and observational ratings of participants during the group sessions. The results supported that
HT significantly promoted participants’ mental wellbeing, engagement, and sense of meaningfulness and
achievement. The evidence provides support on the effectiveness of HT for care home residents with long-term mental illnesses
Adolescent Mental Health Policy and Services in Hong Kong: Seven Unresolved Problems Waiting for Solutions

Evaluation of an occupation-based sleep program for people with Insomnia
No full textTrial Registration The study was registered on ClinicalTrails.gov (Identifier: NCT04940975).Background:
Sleep problems are a health issue worldwide. Based on the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance model, we developed an occupation-based sleep programme to promote awareness of sleep hygiene factors, promote an environment conductive to sleep, and restructure participation in daytime activities with a focus on occupational balance.
Method:
This study uses a non-equivalent group design to evaluate the effectiveness of an occupation-based sleep intervention among community-dwelling adults with insomnia, when compared with a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group which focused on sleep hygiene, and relaxation.
Results:
When compared with the TAU group (n = 20), the intervention group (n = 22) had significant improvement in sleep duration, occupational balance, and reduction in mood symptoms at both post treatment and 1-month follow up.
Conclusion:
The results demonstrated that an occupation-based programme is an effective treatment for insomnia disorder and demonstrated the role which occupational therapy could play in primary health care service.The author(s) received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.The author(s) received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article
