The academic labor of Paul Haun, who wrote about recreation in hospital settings in the 1950s and 1960s, has consistently engaged the profession of therapeutic recreation. The purpose of this article is to present Haun’s practical application of recreation in modern hospital settings through two case examples: Mayo Clinic and the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics/Stead Family Children’s Hospital. In keeping with Haun’s ecological ideology of recreation in hospital settings, this paper underscores that (1) a parks and recreation framework is valued and beneficial in hospital settings, and (2) therapeutic recreation professionals should focus services on basic leisure programming, while simultaneously providing specific therapy-oriented services. Practical implications include helping therapeutic recreation professionals see the value of a parks and recreation framework, rooted in leisure programming, in hospital settings and to be present and involved in such leisure programming approaches in hospital settings, which are often led by non-therapeutic recreation professionals.

Little research has been conducted in practical settings by recreational therapists (RTs) to enhance evidence-based research in the field. There are many reasons for this, but one of these is the challenge of conducting research in a real-world, clinical setting. This study used a single subject research design to examine the effectiveness of using multisensory environments (MSE) to decrease repetitive behaviors in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study included three adults diagnosed with an intellectual disability and ASD who demonstrate repetitive patterns of behavior. The outcomes of this study are presented, and the challenges and benefits of applied research in RT practice are discussed to provide “lessons learned” and guidance to other RT practitioners considering practice-based research studies.

Disasters cause myriad physical, psychological, and social problems among survivors around the world. Although therapeutic recreation (TR) is theoretically important for survivors, few have supported this by using empirical data. This study examines the applicability of one of the leading TR models, the leisure and well-being model (LWM), to post-disaster life contexts. To this end, we re-analyzed qualitative, interview data from nine Japanese/Japanese American Katrina survivors living in New Orleans and 16 Japanese survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Our findings based on thematic analysis suggested that each of the five leisure enhancement mechanisms specified in the LWM—savoring, gratification, authenticity, mindfulness, and virtuousness— were pertinent to survivors’ post-disaster experiences. Our results also show specific conditions under which these mechanisms can be particularly therapeutic. However, we also found parts of the model do not fit potentially due to cultural differences. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Subscribe to TRJ

This report draws upon the first year of the Youth Enrichment through Sports (YES)-Africa cooperative agreement focused on sport for social change involving five sub-Saharan African countries. The YES-Africa program, funded by the U.S. Department of State, is designed to enhance cross-cultural understanding and collaboration between individuals and nations. The YESAfrica Malawi exchange builds capacity for sport leaders in Malawi to implement inclusive sport and recreation for youth with disabilities. This case study employs a content analysis of international and national legislative and policy agendas addressing inclusion of youth with disabilities within the context of sport, and explores barriers to policy implementation through interviews with seven key stakeholders and a review of structured field notes. Findings suggest that while Malawi’s legislative and policy landscape appears to adequately address the needs of youth with disabilities broadly, implementation is limited by social, physical, and socio-environmental barriers. We explore contributions of TR professionals in addressing key policy priorities in developing countries. Subscribe to TRJ

There is limited research surrounding the effectiveness of program implementation, and the research that does exist often considers culture as a minor contributing factor. In this study, culture is re-framed as a major contributing factor of program implementation using an international adaptive sports program as an example. The program was planned and implemented by a team of U.S. facilitators for a group of Thai students and professors in Thailand. The purpose of this study was to understand the cultural processes that influence program implementation in the context of adaptive sport. The research team conducted observations of the program delivery and semi-structured interviews with the U.S. program facilitators. Guided by Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, the findings consider how culture influenced program implementation. Building from existing program implementation models, this study proposes a modified model of program implementation in which culture is positioned as a factor influencing all aspects of program implementation.

This article introduces the development of therapeutic recreation in Taiwan. Existing professional organizations are identified. The Taiwanese definition of therapeutic recreation is to use diverse recreational activities with meaningful purpose, such as horse riding, chess, play balls, hiking, etc., to help people with imbalanced health conditions. Taiwan has rich resources for recreational activities and leisure services, which satisfy the needs of the general population; these programs rarely accommodate the needs of the populations with special needs. Taiwan has experienced rapid population aging, and the government invests financial resources to build aging care sites and activity centers to provide health-promotion activities. Subscribe to TRJ

The term “therapeutic recreation (TR)” was introduced in Japan in 1980. Since then, there have only been a few significant practices in social welfare as well as in rehabilitation settings. Previous research suggested adjusting TR approaches to make TR programs suitable for long-term care facilities, including culturally appropriate recreational activities. The number of Japanese Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRSs) has increased, and there is a TR Study Group that meets regularly to share research, curriculum, and accreditation matters related to fukushi recreation and TR. This article describes the Leisure Education Program (LEP) in Japan, which has been conducted since 1996, focusing on how the program has evolved to address participants’ needs. There have been various fukushi recreation programs in the past that emphasized either “Functional Improvement” or “Recreation Participation” using the Leisure Ability Model (LAM). LEP is a useful recreation program that forms a link between “Functional Improvement” and “Recreation Participation.” This article suggests that a TR service model—the Self-Determination and Enjoyment Enhancement Model—can be more effective in meeting the needs of individuals with higher brain dysfunction.

This study examined the professional responsibilities and job satisfaction of 258 members of the Canadian Therapeutic Recreation Association (CTRA). It extended an earlier survey done with recreational practitioners affiliated with the Federation quebecoise du loisir en institution (FQLI). The factor analysis of duties and satisfaction shows results that match with the original study. For duties, four factors center on administration, therapy, professional development and face-to-face leadership (FTFL); for the satisfaction scale, the analysis confirms the intrinsic and extrinsic components of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. A canonical analysis shows similar results, but with some variations, between the two studies. In the case of the first canonical factor, members in a hospital setting are more involved in recreational therapy and in FTFL, hold a therapist title and have a lower salary. In the second canonical factor, members in a hospital setting, without a therapist title, do more administrative tasks but fewer of their duties relate to FTFL and professional development; and they also have a lower salary. In conclusion, we contrast our findings with those of the original study and discuss reasons for similarities or differences in the research results. Among implications is the recognition of a wide variation in what Canadian therapeutic recreation (TR) practitioners do, where they work, and how they identify. Subscribe to TRJ
