: This service evaluation examined the impact of , a programme of weekly group dance sessions for older patients, which took place on wards in an acute hospital setting.: Qualitative and quantitative observations using the ArtsObs scale were undertaken of 64 dance sessions over a 12-week period involving seven different hospital wards encompassing 313 patient attendances.: Statistically significant improvements were observed in the mood of the majority of patients taking part. People engaged mentally and physically with the activity were distracted from their medical condition and from what was happening on the ward. Patients appeared relaxed and were willing to express themselves creatively.: The programme had a positive impact on group participants, promoting movement and physical activity for older patients. It is a meaningful and enjoyable activity, which encourages social interaction and provides respite from the medical environment.
本服务评估考察了每周团体舞蹈课程（）对老年患者的影响，该课程在一家急性医院的病房内进行。在为期 12 周的时间里，利用 ArtsObs 量表对 64 次舞蹈课程进行了定性和定量观察，涉及 7 个不同的病房，共有 313 名患者参加。大多数参与的患者的情绪都有了明显的改善。参与活动的人在精神和身体上都投入其中，从而分散了他们对自己病情的注意力，也不再关注病房内发生的事情。患者看起来很放松，愿意有创意地表达自己。该计划对团体参与者产生了积极影响，促进了老年患者的运动和身体活动。这是一项有意义和愉快的活动，鼓励社交互动，为患者提供了从医疗环境中解脱出来的机会。
