SING YOUR

HEARTS
POST ACTIVITY REPORT

Group K
 "Sing Your Hearts" is the second group therapy that has been facilitated by the student

nurses of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila in-line with their exposure at the psychiatric ward

in Philippine General Hospital. This group activity was planned as part of the celebration of

Valentines or Hearts Day.

The activity was done on February 14 and 15, 2017. The group therapy has started by

gathering all the patients on the multi-purpose hall, room 101. The activity started at

approximately 8:45 AM. It then proceeded to the short warm up before the activity, orientation,

reading of house rules and explaining the mechanics of the game.

The important rule that has been implemented was that at exactly 9:45 AM, whoever is

the one singing during that time, he or she will be the last one to sing. The patient had draw lots

before the game and has given the chance to choose the song that they wanted. Each patient

had equal chance to sing in the limited time given. Patients who didn't have the chance to sing

during the activity had given the chance to sing.

The patients were then asked at the end of every song 2 questions: To whom they

dedicated the song and what is the reason that they chose that particular song. On the first day,

the patients were about their insights or how they have feel during the activity. On the second

day (continuation), the patients had a group dance therapy by following the a choreography

presented by facilitators in front and choosing partners for the group dance included at the end.

Singing of a community song was also a part to conclude this group activity.

Recommendations
The student nurses should also have been focused when it comes to
promoting patient control in the said activity. Additionally, the group should have
been equally distributed, spreading around the patients with their assigned patient
on their side to initiate Nurse-Patient Relationship even during the group activity.
Moreover, the relatives and significant others to the patients should have been on
the first Day of the activity for them to successfully given their made flowers to
their loved ones during the introduction song Salamat.
