Abstract
This is a replication study of a previous service evaluation of a relaxation group, conducted on an acute inpatient ward for older people experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. Attendees rated levels of relaxation before and after each relaxation group session usinga10-pointLikert scale. Analysis ofdata collected over a period ofa year found a small but significant positive effect for those who attended the relaxation group, supporting the findings of the original service evaluation. These findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of such groups and may offer a cost and time effective method for reducing anxiety on inpatient wards.
