Hand Fan Stamping:
The King of Occupational Therapy Workshops
The activities of a hand fan stamping workshop
include: preparation of the work space and materials;
conception and creation of the designs; construction of
the rubber stamps; stamping, painting and finishing the
designs; and last but not least, preparation of the
stamped fans as personalized gifts.

The patients' efforts for carrying out these activities
improve their neuronal and psychomotor stimulations,
their creativity and self confidence, their social
relations within the group, etc.
Being the hand fan a very affordable gift, generosity is
stimulated. This widens the social and familiar support
circle and strengthens the family bonds, sometimes
weakened by the care surcharge. It has been proven that,
after a hand fan stamping workshop, the positive
emotional changes operated both on the patients and
their nurses had a cumulative effect, and that the
perception of the family relationships was also
improved.
The benefits of the hand fan stamping workshop have been
verified not only with elderly people, but also with
patients diagnosed with different types of dementia,
early stages of Alzheimer, hemiplegia, and even with
patients suffering from severely impaired vision (these
latter need assistance from their nurses for attending
the workshop).
That's why the hand fan stamping workshop is recommended
for making part of all occupational therapy programs.
