| Annotation | Quality of life issues encompass the philosophies of both the hospice movement and recreation participation. This study examines the status of recreational activities provision in hospices in the US. The offering, frequency of offering, and location of offering of 39 recreational activities in a random sample of hospices in the US were surveyed. The functional levels of participating patients were also recorded. Reading to patients at bedside daily was determined to be the most frequently provided recreational activity. Recreational activities are being offered in 40% of the larger US hospices on a varying schedule in different locations. (RH). |
