Creating an environment that focuses on individual recovery within an acute inpatient environment can be challenging. To add to the therapeutic nature of a mental health assessment and treatment ward for women, we conducted a pilot of six Indian head massage taster treatments for patients. Feedback was obtained from patients and staff through the questionnaires, observation and verbal feedback. The feedback showed individual positive experiences and that the treatment enhanced experiences of care. These outcomes are being used to explore the benefits of the use of IHM in ward environments. The feedback indicates IHM training for multidisciplinary ward staff would be beneficial. This article reports on the use of a complementary therapy as a component of a ward recovery ethos and an intervention to help with promoting a therapeutic and caring ward environment.
在急性住院环境中营造一个专注于个人康复的环境可能具有挑战性。为增强针对女性的心理健康评估与治疗病房的治疗效果，我们为患者开展了六次印度头部按摩体验治疗试点。通过问卷调查、观察和口头反馈收集了患者和工作人员的意见。反馈显示了个人的积极体验，并且这种治疗提升了护理体验。这些结果正被用于探索在病房环境中使用印度头部按摩的益处。反馈表明，为多学科病房工作人员提供印度头部按摩培训将是有益的。本文报道了一种辅助疗法作为病房康复理念的一部分以及一种有助于营造治疗性和关怀性病房环境的干预措施的应用情况。
