Frailty Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pilot Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial: The Effects of Horticultural Therapy (HT) vs Existing Care on Engagement, Mood and Mobility of Inpatient Older Adults in an Acute Care Hospital
This study aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of Horticultural Therapy (HT) on engagement, mood, and quality of life (QoL) of older adults in geriatric acute care in Singapore. Investigators will also assess the effectiveness of HT on mobility and hospitalisation experience. This pilot study could inform how HT can be implemented in geriatric acute care and its effect on hospitalisation experience and recovery of function.
Horticultural therapy (HT) is a non-pharmacological treatment utilizing plant-related activities as a form of alternative medicine to achieve specific goals that lead to person's well-being. Geriatric patients in acute care wards are at risk of functional decline related to acute illness and prolonged bed rest during hospitalization. HT can complement medical treatment to ameliorate the adverse effects of hospitalisation in older adults. There is evidence that HT can improve the physical and psychological well-being of the older adults in different settings. The beneficial effects of HT have mostly been documented in nursing homes, community rehabilitation facilities and senior activity centres, but not in geriatric acute care settings. There is also a need to harness available knowledge and implement it where appropriate. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of HT on engagement, mood, and quality of life (QoL) of older adults in geriatric acute care in Singapore. Investigators will also assess the effectiveness of HT on mobility and hospitalisation experience. This pilot study could inform how HT can be implemented in geriatric acute care and its effect on hospitalisation experience and recovery of function. ;
