Ocio ético: afrontando la alienación y la deshumanización en los hospitales

Abstract

El artículo estudia la necesidad de ocupar el tiempo libre de los pacientes en los hospitales, y si estas prácticas de animación hospitalaria son percibidas por ellos como un medio para mejorar su calidad de vida. Para alcanzar los objetivos, se lleva a cabo una exploración cualitativa, con recogida de información individualizada, siguiendo un protocolo preestablecido de preguntas cerradas. Con esta metodología se pretende delimitar, de forma objetiva, el tiempo dedicado a las diferentes actividades de ocio en el hospital. Los resultados obtenidos permiten establecer correlaciones entre las respuestas de los pacientes y las variables analizadas.

Leisure Programmes in Hospitalised People: A Systematic Review

“…The accompaniment programmes are divided into two types of interventions: animal or personal accompaniment, where patients themselves, professionals or other external groups may be involved [ 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Other innovative activities mentioned in the studies include therapeutic play, acupuncture and animal entertainment, among others [ 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Young people and adults affirmed the positive consequences of hospital activity interventions, such as: improving mood, reducing stress, promoting communication, relieving the companion and adapting the patient to the hospital [ 33 ].…”

“…As a means of coping with pain and alleviating suffering, Bermúdez Rey et al, in 2019, highlighted in their study the opinion of healthcare staff, who concluded that it was important to carry out leisure programmes to alleviate suffering, cope with pain and humanise hospitals [ 33 ]. Table 3 shows the general characteristics of the different studies selected.…”

How the type of working day affects work–life balance and mealtime balance: A study based on the time use survey

“…Typically, an adult’s total time is divided between time not available, time available and free time. The first of these indicates the time needed to fulfil work, family and basic biological obligations, the second covers other self-imposed occupations and the last shows the time remaining after fulfilling all obligations, including leisure (Bermúdez et al, 2019). Therefore, leisure time refers to the time that people devote to their own chosen activities that give pleasure.…”
