Flourishing is a burgeoning concept in therapeutic recreation (TR) with some authors arguing for it to be a principal goal of the profession. However, there are three conceptualizations in the literature raising questions of compatibility and interrelationship. Are the Capabilities Approach (Nussbaum, 2006), MacIntyre’s (2007) theory of flourishing, and the Flourishing through Leisure: An Ecological Extension of the Leisure and Well-Being Model (FTL; Anderson & Heyne, 2012a) compatible, and if so, how are they interrelated? An investigation revealed the conceptualizations are harmonious and nested according to level of generality. The Capabilities Approach is the most abstract and serves as a foundation that accommodates MacIntyre’s theory which, in turn, details multiple capabilities and their contributions to flourishing. The FTL model links both to service recipients by transforming theoretical rhetoric into specific actions professionals take to facilitate flourishing. Considered jointly, the complementary entities serve at least two functions. They mutually support flourishing as a principal goal and supply clear guidelines on how to help people live well.

The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate and long-term effect of participation in a family camp designed specifically for families with a child with ASD. The variables studied were family recreation, family recreation satisfaction, family communication, satisfaction with family function, and satisfaction with family life, as reported by the parents. Findings indicated changes in family functioning, family communication, satisfaction with family function, and satisfaction with family life. The trend analyses indicated the parents reported a general increase in satisfaction with their family function and family life, and a statistically significant increase was observed in satisfaction with family life (p = .045). These findings partially support previous research demonstrating that increased parental involvement has a positive effect on parental and family well-being for families with a child with ASD. Implications for recreational therapy practice in providing interventions for families with a child with ASD and future research are discussed. Subscribe to TRJ

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of sensory garden interventions on agitation and quality of life for people with dementia. The sensory garden consisted of plants that stimulated all the senses. Four people diagnosed with dementia residing in assisted living participated in the multiple treatment single-subject design (A 1 -B-BC-A 2 ) study. Baseline phase A 1 lasted two weeks, intervention B and BC were four weeks each, and return to baseline A 2 was two weeks, for a total of 12 weeks. Intervention B was an indoor sensory garden, and intervention BC was an approximated outside sensory garden. The Agitated Behavior Mapping Instrument, Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, and Dementia Quality of Life-Proxy were used to collect data. Data revealed positive trends following the sensory garden interventions on decreasing agitation and improving quality of life. Intervention B worked best for two participants and intervention BC for the remaining two participants. Applications to recreational therapy practice are provided. Subscribe to TRJ

The purpose of this pilot study was to measure the im-pact of an adaptive sports intervention on several out-comes including the components of self-determination (i.e., autonomy, competence, relatedness), loneliness, and mobility for residents of a skilled nursing facility (SNFs). This study employed a physician-prescribed, 4-week adaptive sports intervention specifically adapted for the residents of a SNF. The program was administered by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists® (CTRS), and facilitated six participants in weekly practice (basket-ball, baseball, golf, shuffleboard) and competition against residents in other local facilities. This mixed-methods study employed pre-test/post-test outcome evaluation using the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale (BPNSS) (competence, autono-my, relatedness), Timed Up and Go Test, as well as struc-tured qualitative interviews. Results of this study showed improvements for all participants across most or all cog-nitive, physical, emotional, and/or social domains and all measures showed positive movement. Results also sug-gested improvements in identity, belonging, importance, and the potential for transfer of these benefits to greater social engagement, lower fall risk, and decreased depression.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of therapeutic horseback riding (THR) as an interven-tion to improve the balance of 30 individuals who par-ticipated in a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH INTL) therapeutic riding member program. The study lasted 10 weeks, with each participant receiving the intervention once a week for thirty minutes. The therapeutic riding program in-cluded several standard components in each session to challenge the balance of riders with disabilities. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was used to examine the effects of THR for a single session, short-term 10-week period, and sustained effects after the program ended. The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT; Newton, 2001) was used to quantify balance during the study. Paired t -tests were conducted to exam-ine a relationship between THR and balance outcomes. Recreational therapy applications and research implica-tions are also discussed. Subscribe to TRJ

Although research continues to suggest that recreational therapy benefits elderly residents in long-term care (Buettner & Fitzsimmons, 2011; Fitzsimmons, Sardina, & Buettner, 2014; Kolanowski, Fick, Frazer, & Penrod, 2010; Seitz et al., 2012), administrators often remain unfamiliar with the profession and the abilities of the Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) (Bedini & White, 2018; Harkins & Bedini, 2013). Through the use of semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study sought New England administrators’ perceptions of recreational therapy in the long-term care (LTC) industry. Thematic analysis of the data indicated three overarching themes: financial support, facility culture, and knowledge of recreational therapy. These three themes are suggested to influence administrators’ decisions to utilize recreational therapy (RT) in their facilities. Recommendations for the profession include administrator education on the benefits of recreational therapy; continuing with evidence-based research to advocate for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) coverage; and creating a facility culture through family, resident, and staff education where RT is considered a necessity in LTC.

The purpose of this multi-method pilot study was to ex-plore the efficacy of a yoga intervention on the leisure constraints and functional fitness of community-dwell-ing older adults. Seven community-dwelling older adults engaged in 16, 60-minute sessions of hatha yoga con-ducted twice a week for eight weeks at a local continuing education center. Individuals enrolled in either a seated yoga class ( n =4) or a standing yoga class ( n =3). Pre-/ post-measures included physical measures and a sur-vey of leisure constraints. A focus group was conducted with each group to determine their perspectives of par-ticipation. Results indicated significant improvement in lower-body strength and endurance. Balance, upper and lower body flexibility, upper-body strength, and self-re-ported leisure constraints did not show significant im-provements. Qualitative data showed that participants perceived psychosocial and physical benefits to yoga participation including increased energy and motivation to engage in other types of physical activities. Findings indicate the potential for the use of yoga to increase participation in other forms of leisure-time physical activity, but further evaluation of the influence of yoga on leisure constraints is warranted. Implications for recreational therapists are discussed, includ-ing helping clients identify community yoga classes that will best meet their needs based on class size, accessibility, and pace.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether sali-vary cortisol sampling would be a feasible effectiveness outcome measure for a community-based RT program serving children with disabilities. The program utilized in this study provides weekly RT interventions in three 10-week cycles over an 18-month period for 62 children aged 3-21 enrolled in a local public school special edu-cation program. Salivary cortisol sampling, a biomarker for stress response, was collected via bioswab pre/post-intervention on weeks 1, 6, and 10 of each cycle. In or-der to determine feasibility, the collection rate, measur-ability, and comparability of saliva samples were tracked over the study period. The first goal of collecting 75% of the possible cryovials was not met due to an actual col-lection rate of 56%. Participant absence was found to be responsible for 62% of the uncollected cryovials. How-ever, of those collected, 95% were measurable and 77% were comparable, which met the second prediction of achieving measurable samples as a rate of 50% or bet-ter. Researchers deemed cortisol sampling as feasible as correcting collection errors, which caused 17% loss of the overall possible sample, will allow for an adequate sample size for statistical analysis in future studies.
