How Can Entertainment and Leisure Benefit Patients?
Leisure activities have multiple benefits for patients. These may include:
1. Mental Well-being: Engaging in activities such as watching movies, reading books, or participating in arts and crafts can help reduce anxiety and depression. 2. Physical Health: Activities like light exercise, dancing, or even walking can improve physical health and mobility. 3. Social Interaction: Group activities encourage social interaction, which can be especially beneficial for patients in long-term care. 4. Cognitive Function: Puzzles, games, and other mentally stimulating activities can help maintain or improve cognitive function.
