| Abstract [eng] |
Health and well-being are increasingly recognised as multifaceted constructs that extend beyond the mere absence of disease. Rehabilitation and recreation, though traditionally viewed as distinct fields, share an intrinsic connection in promoting physical, mental, and emotional recovery. By integrating these phenomena, a holistic approach to health emerges, emphasizing the interplay between restorative practices and leisure activities. This article explores the intersection of rehabilitation and recreation, highlighting their complementary roles in fostering resilience, enhancing quality of life, and achieving sustainable well-being. The problem of research: What are the overlapping - synergistic factors between rehabilitation and recreation processes aimed at restoring a person's functional activity? Is continuity of the person's health promotion(s) ensured when engaging in recreational activities after rehabilitation? Research methodology. Systematic literature analysis, also known as a systematic literature review, is a method for identifying, analysing and interpreting all the available evidence relevant to a particular research question. The process of a systematic literature review involves several key stages: Search, Assessment, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA). The literature search was conducted in major scientific databases (ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis Journals, Scopus, EBSCO Publishing, Springer Journals), with a priority on open access sources. The following keyword combinations were used in the search: rehabilitation AND recreation. Initially 327 articles were identified, but after screening, 15 publications were selected. The selection criteria were: (i) articles published between 2015 and 2024, (ii) published in peer-reviewed journals, (iii) studies exploring rehabilitation and recreation phenomenon. Findings. The transition from rehabilitation to sustained wellness connects therapy with lifestyle integration. Structured activities guide individuals from professional care to independent self-care, fostering healthy habits and confidence. To ensure a smooth transition from rehabilitation to independent recreational activities, a specialist is needed to not only help patients overcome potential motivational barriers, but also to enable continuity of health promotion. |
