| Popis: | Nature-based therapies have a long history in mental health care. Beneficial effects have been documented for nature-based therapies in a variety of other health care settings. The aims of this grounded theory study were to understand the processes of maintaining nature-based therapeutic groups and the value of the activities to patients in a psychiatric inpatient setting. Over a nine-month period, semi-structured surveys of patient responses to nature-based activities were administered to patients in a pilot therapy group assessing the feasibility of a nature-based group program. Findings indicated that the group promoted use of the senses, social interaction, and care of self/others. Perceptions of benefits led to a nuanced understanding of the effects of being in contact with nature. Based on our findings we offer a preliminary theoretical model for patient engagement with nature-based programming in inpatient mental health care. |
