Perceived Impact of Enhanced Group Activity Kits on Recreational Activity Leaders in Dementia Care

Recreational activities are crucial for enhancing the well-being of persons living with dementia (PLwD), yet designing and implementing high-quality activities impose substantial demands on recreational activity staff (hereafter, activity leaders) who facilitate activities in dementia care settings. Moreover, while developing effective group activities requires attention to the needs of both PLwD and activity leaders, no prior research has examined how the use of enhanced, preprepared activity materials contributes to activity leaders’ professional experience.
