Telling the story behind the symptoms: A service evaluation of Life Story Book sessions in a Specialist Huntington’s Disease Inpatient Service

This service evaluation examined the impact of individual Life Story Book (LSB) sessions on mood and quality of life (QoL) in people living with Huntington’s disease requiring a period of specialist inpatient care. A within-subject pre-post design was used with three participants. LSB sessions were associated with reductions in self-reported depressive symptoms and improvements in QoL. Findings suggest LSB sessions within this service are feasible within a specialist inpatient setting and potentially beneficial; however, conclusions are limited by small sample size and lack of control group.
