Background: The aim of this systematic review reviews was to identify, summarise, and synthesise the available evidence (SRs) meta-analyses (MAs) on preventative therapeutic psychological physical effects forest-based interventions. Methods: Both bibliographic databases grey literature sources were searched for SRs MAs published until May 2020. Eight relevant articles: MEDLINE, Embase, Web Science, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, CiNii, EBSCO, Scopus. Grey sourced from Google Scholar other web-based search tools. that included randomised controlled (RCT), non-randomised (NRCT), non-controlled trials (NCT) health-related interventions eligible if they had at least two databases. methodological quality assessed by AMSTAR-2.

The aim of this review was to outline the most relevant benefits forest bathing for well-being promotion. This study designed as an umbrella literature review. Medline (via PubMed), EMBASE, Web Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL and DOAJ were systematically searched reviews up February 2021. After article selection, 16 systematic met inclusion criteria. Overall, best available evidence supports use a complementary practice promotion psychophysical well-being, whereas its therapeutic improvement organic diseases needs grow before clear specific clinical indications can be formulated. positive impact on individual quality life, along with favorable cost-effectiveness profile, may justify possible adoption public health strategies Further investigations topic are advised.

Background: Mental well-being plays a pivotal role within the broader spectrum of health and illness, encompassing factors such as stress, depression, anxiety. Nature-based therapeutic interventions have emerged promising approach to addressing these mental challenges. This study seeks assess impact on anxiety levels. Methods: We conducted an extensive search for randomized clinical trials that examined anxiety, depression The selected studies underwent rigorous risk-of-bias assessment following guidelines outlined in Cochrane Handbook Systematic Reviews. Results: Our review encompassed findings from eight publications. Among them, two measuring cortisol levels revealed significant differences between pre-test post-test measurements intervention groups. In employed Stress Response Inventory, decrease stress was observed groups contrast control However, no were noted utilized Restorative Outcome Scale. levels, three Positive Negative Affect Schedule, while four Profile Mood States scale; none demonstrated differences.

A significant proportion of patients who sustain a concussion/mild traumatic brain injury endorse persisting, lingering symptoms. The symptoms associated with concussion are nonspecific, and many other medical conditions present similar Medical that overlap symptomatically include anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, fatigue, fibromyalgia, cervical strain injuries. One the factors may account for these similarities is all disturbances in optimal functioning autonomic nervous system its intricate interactions endocrine immune system—the three primary regulatory systems body. When clinicians working presenting persisting after concussion, evidence-based treatment options drawn from literature limited. We framework assessment following based on available evidence (treatment trials), neuroanatomical principles (research into physiology concussion), clinical judgment. review research supporting premise behavioral interventions designed to stabilize optimize body have potential reduce improve patients. Foundational rehabilitation strategies areas sleep stabilization, fatigue management, physical exercise, nutrition, relaxation protocols, activation outlined along practical implementing intervention modules

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of forest therapy on depression anxiety using data obtained from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) quasi-experimental studies. We searched SCOPUS, PubMed, MEDLINE(EBSCO), Web science, Embase, Korean Studies Information Service System, Research Sharing Service, DBpia identify relevant studies published January 1990 December 2020 identified 20 for synthesis. The methodological quality eligible primary was assessed by ROB 2.0 ROBINS-I. Most were conducted in Republic Korea except one study Poland. Overall, significantly improved (Hedges's g = 1.133; 95% confidence interval (CI): -1.491 -0.775) 1.715; CI: -2.519 -0.912). assessment resulted five RCTs that raised potential concerns three high risk two.

The benefits of biophilic interior design have been recognized by healthcare facilities, but residential environments receive relatively less attention with respect to improving the health people living chronic diseases. Recent "stay-at-home" restrictions due COVID-19 pandemic further emphasized importance creating spaces that directly and indirectly support physical mental health. In this viewpoint article, we discuss opportunities for combining interventions design, fostering disease-specific self-care. We provide examples designing integrating interventions, light therapy, relaxation opportunities, mindfulness meditation, listening music, activities, aromatherapy, quality sleep. These modalities can clinical reducing migraine headaches pain, as well depressive symptoms. environment be incorporated into homes, workplaces, assisted-living residences, hospitals hospital at home programs. This work aims promote a cross-disciplinary dialogue towards advances in lifestyle medicine create therapeutic improve outcomes.

There is growing interest in nature-based interventions (NBI) to improve human health and wellbeing. An important nascent area exploring the potential of outdoor therapies treat prevent common mental problems like depression. In this conceptual analysis on nature-depression nexus, we distil some main issues for consideration when NBIs depression are being developed. We argue that understanding mechanisms, or 'active ingredients' crucial understand what works whom. Successfully identifying modifiable mediating intervention targets will pave way with increased efficacy. highlight a non-exhaustive list five clinically relevant putative, candidate mechanisms which may underly beneficial effects depression: stress, rumination, mindfulness, sleep exercise. also make case developing it not neglect young people, explore personalised approaches focus both treatment prevention approaches. To achieve these aims methodologically rigorous programmes clinical research needed include well-powered controlled experimental designs including randomised trials, qualitative research, longitudinal studies large prospective cohorts.

Background: With the global burden of disease increasing, particularly in relation to often preventable chronic diseases, researchers and clinicians are keen identify interventions that can mitigate ill health enhance psychological wellbeing people living with long-term conditions (LTCs). It is long established engagement nature support human wellbeing, recent years, nature-based (NBIs) have been advanced as potential benefit. This review thus sought systematically appraise published evidence application NBIs address for those LTCs. Methods: A systematic search three databases, PsycINFO, MEDLINE SCOPUS, was undertaken, BestBETs quality assessment checklist used methodological elicited studies. Results: Of 913 studies identified, 13 (12 using quantitative methods, one qualitative) were used. Included papers reported use a variety outcomes alongside more circumscribed physiological outcomes. Quality appraisal showed modest robustness, some weaknesses dominance developed countries, yet synthesis suggested present strong argument having promising positive impact on wellbeing. Conclusions: impacts LTCs, suggesting they may be suitable addition current maintenance treatment. Future research should focus minimising study bias increasing cross-cultural applications.

Several key international policy frameworks involve forests, including the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and Convention Biological Diversity (CBD). However, rules guidelines that treat forest types equally regardless of their ecosystem integrity risk profiles in terms carbon loss limit effectiveness can facilitate degradation. Here we assess potential for using a framework to guide goals. We review theory present conceptual framework, compare elements between primary human-modified discuss management implications. find forests consistently have higher levels lower than forests. This underscores need protect develop consistent large-scale data products identify high-integrity operationalize integrity. Doing so will optimize long-term storage provision other services, help evolving at nexus biodiversity climate crises.
