Local Health Authority of Bologna
This is a hospital experience to enhance Positive Living, within the activlty of
the hospital pian called HPH 2006 – Thematic Area.
INTRODUCTION The implementation of the Clown Therapy experiment was
positive in three (3) out of nine (9) hospitals of the Local Health Authority of
Bologna. This was free of charge and was made possible through the generosity of
the Vip Italia Onlus Association.
The goal of the experiment is to create an atmosphere and a hospital environment
that is more cheerful and colourful.
lt aims to create a moment of relaxation, amusement and enjoyment for the
children and adults who are confined in the hospltal.
The Clown doctor helps patlents, their family and relatives to enhance a positive
attitude (according to the Ottawa Chart and in reference to the International
Documentati on).
The benefits of the Clown Therapy, as an integrai part of the steps or route to
effective medication, are recognised and applied world wide.
RESULT: A representative of the Association joined and participated effectively
into the HPH group. An awareness session to train and inform all workers and
Associations of Volunteers was initiated. They were sharing instruments for the
experiment, their experiences and demonstrating the method of operation.
Posters and exhibits were shown in the hospital premises; a questionnaire for
feedback and comments was made (this is for the service user as well as interview
materiai for the medicai staff), and validated by the Quality Staff that
supplied the service.
The first analysis of the questionnaire provided a positive feedback (the data processing
is still on going).
The Local Health Authority has then designated the 2nd of Aprii as the “The
Red-Nose Day” in the hospital premises and in the squares around the city.
The day is a call for monetary support and donations in favour of the hospitals
where the clown services are held.
A photographic exhibition was prepared to be
shown at the hospltals lobby.
An article about the initiative was publicised on the hospita
newsletter and sent both to the medicai staff
of the local health Authority and forwarde.sl…
to other magazines of this area. W – In 2007, some courses on
COMEDYTHERAPYw ill be
activated for the hospital
personnel. –
A slogan and a quotation
which says:
“A Smile doesn’t last for an instant but
could be eternai in memory” (Schiller)
will be posted on the hallway,
to serve as a reminder –
to doctors and nurses.
After all, education is good
with humour mixed in it.
