Expanding the reach of a fall prevention intervention for older adult emergency department patients through telehealth: A trial protocol
Background: Falls are a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits among older adults, yet many patients are discharged without a clear understanding of their fall risk factors or access to timely prevention services. The Geriatric Acute and Post-Acute Fall Prevention (GAPcare) intervention has demonstrated efficacy in reducing fall-related ED revisits by addressing these factors during the ED visit. Still, its reliance on in-person specia…
Quality of Life (QoL) Is Reduced in Those with Severe Covid-19 Disease, Post-Acute Sequelae of Covid-19, and Hospitalization in United States Adults from Northern Colorado
The longitudinal quality of life (QoL) of COVID-19 survivors, especially those with post-acute sequelae (PASC) is not well described. We evaluated QoL in our COVID-19 survivor cohort over 6 months using the RAND SF-36 survey. From July 2020-March 2021 we enrolled 110 adults from the United States with a positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) into the Northern Colorado Coronavirus Biobank (NoCo-COBIO). Demographic data …
Quality of life or ‘quality moments of life’: Considering the impact of relational clowning for people living with dementia
This paper reports on a mixed methods project entitled Playful Engagement aimed at improving the quality of life (QoL) of individuals living with dementia through engagement with two relational clowns. Analysis of the quantitative data was unable to identify QoL improvements, whilst the qualitative data revealed positive affective outcomes within individual visits. In light of these outcomes, literature focused on the perceptions of QoL by indivi…
Playfully engaging people living with dementia: Searching for Yum Cha moments
In the absence of a cure for dementia, there is an increasing recognition of the need to develop approaches that address its key impacts of social isolation, depressed mood, and quality of life. In response to these issues, a three-year research project entitled Playful Engagement and Dementia: assessing the efficacy of applied theatre practices for people with dementia in residential aged care facilities was developed in partnership with Wesley …
Combining drama pedagogy with digital technologies to support the language learning needs of newly arrived refugee children: A classroom case study
Although significant research has been completed that examines the effectiveness of process drama as a pedagogical approach for developing additional languages and further work has focused on the affordances of digital technologies within drama work, scant attention has been paid to the possibilities which a combination of these approaches might offer. Within this paper we identify these possibilities within a drama-based research project aimed a…
Three roles, one researcher and a 'respectful forgery: Confronting the Challenges of Working Alone as a Dramatic Play Researcher
This paper outlines the challenges faced by a qualitative researcher working within a 2-year, longitudinal study of the dramatic play of one group of pre-adolescent girls. Here the researcher, sensitive to the various permissions and conditions necessary for such play to be observed by an adult, opted to work alone in the field. This decision, which resulted in the need to adopt a range of multiple and at times competing roles, generated tensions…
Not without the art!! The importance of teacher artistry when applying drama as pedagogy for additional language learning
For more than 30 years drama has been promoted as a valuable teaching tool for language learning. Recent research results have reinforced this position. However, these and other earlier studies reveal that the overall success of the work is dependent, at least in part, upon the artistry of the teacher and the quality of the pretext materials used to drive the dramatic action. This article interrogates the notion of artistry in relation to drama p…
Video in drama research: Formalising the role of collaborative conversations within the analysis phase
Drama research poses many challenges, due mainly to its ephemeral and spontaneous nature. Many researchers therefore turn to video to support their investigations, but these recordings are not always capable of capturing the richness of the live event itself. In response, this paper proposes that researchers need to explore ways to enhance the value of this video material and suggests that one approach might be to formalise the role of collaborat…
Playing around with improvisation: An analysis of the text creation processes used within preadolescent dramatic play
When children come together to play dramatically they are involved in the creation of an improvised text. This text emerges spontaneously via the moment-by-moment contributions of individual players who must operate in a highly collaborative way in order to achieve cohesion. This paper reports on a research project involving several groups of 11- and 12-year-old girls that was conducted in order to gain a greater understanding of how cohesion in …
Taking a Larger Slice of the Pie: A response to the article ‘Bears don't need phonics’
Dans le n°1 du Volume 4 (1999) de Research in drama education, David Montgomerie a presente le theâtre comme un moyen pour l'enseignement de la lecture et souligne la necessite d'impulser des recherches sur le developpement des competences en lecture que le theâtre favorise. L'auteur rebondit sur cette question de litterature de recherche consacree au theâtre comme outil pedagogique au service de la lecture qui selon elle est insuffisante et meri…
This Time I'll be the Golden Bird’: A call for more child‐structured dramatic play
Although child‐structured dramatic play is widely recognised as being important for the younger child, few opportunities are provided for the middle to upper primary school child to enjoy the benefits of this form of drama. Child‐structured play spaces are generally only found within pre‐primary and infants classrooms, and yet this form of dramatic experience enables the child to generate meanings which are far more individual than those emerging…
