Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Patients on a high-risk obstetrics unit with an anticipated stay of two or more weeks; patients in this group will receive twice weekly sewing and embroidery interactions with a professional artist in residence.	Other: Arts Intervention; If selected for the arts activity, an artist in residence will visit you 3 times a week for a total of 3 weeks during your hospital stay. Two visits will focus on the arts activity and one visit will be the administration of the questionnaire. Each visit will be approximately 25 minutes at a time.
