Perspectives Regarding the Optimization of the Recreational Skills in Young Adults: Intervention Program Contribution
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract Introduction: the purpose of this research is to study the stance of the young adults on the recreational therapies and on spending spare time, as well as to help them realise the degree of risk to which they expose themselves, in terms of health issues, when they don’t engage in recreational activities. We also studied the way a recreational program cultivates relaxing skills among the subjects of this study. Objectives: we offered training and education to these participants in order to make them more aware of the risk degree in regards to their health and to help them improve their recreational skills. We also aimed at establishing and developing a connection between the subjects and their recreation, knowing that this is necessary in order to maintain the inner balance. Methods: we used qualitative methods for this research alongside other tools such as: observations, interviews, journals, case studies (for multiple cases). The recreational interview aimed at identifying the subjects' attitude towards their connection with recreation. Results: the analysis of the case studies indicates that the subjects’ voluntary participation in the program’s activities was associated with positive emotions, such as joy and achievement and it was perceived as up-building for the participants. Conclusions: the intervention program encouraged people to explore more leisure interests and to get involved in recreational programs. The recreational programs may include re-education, art-therapy and ergo-therapy activities, mentoring programs, sports and fitness.
