Abstract

Background: Gardening has multiple physical and mental health tangible benefits. However, gardening has never been fully implemented in healthcare settings where patient care is prioritized. Objective: This study aimed to explore how mental health nurses in Brunei perceive gardening activities as part of their patient care. Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, thematic analysis of four focus group discussions (n= 22 nurses) in one psychiatric department in Brunei Darussalam was identified through purposive sampling. Findings: Three overarching themes arose from the analysis (1) Safety during gardening, (2) Maintaining the interest, (3) Coordinating the activity. Conclusion: The nurses in this study highlighted the significant benefits of gardening for patients, but they still consider that consultation and medication are the most critical aspects of patient care. However, gardening can still be interwoven into patient care as a complementary therapy offered to patients as part of their discharge plan and recovery process.

从护士角度看将园艺活动融入精神病患者护理的批判性思考

背景：园艺对身心健康有多种切实的益处。然而，园艺从未在以病人护理为优先事项的医疗机构中得到全面实施。研究目的本研究旨在探讨文莱的心理健康护士如何将园艺活动视为其病人护理的一部分。研究方法在这项描述性定性研究中，通过有目的的抽样，对文莱达鲁萨兰国一个精神科的四个焦点小组讨论（22 名护士）进行了主题分析。研究结果分析产生了三大主题（1）园艺过程中的安全；（2）保持兴趣；（3）协调活动。结论：本研究中的护士强调了园艺对病人的重大益处，但她们仍然认为问诊和用药是病人护理的最关键方面。不过，园艺仍可作为一种辅助疗法融入病人护理中，作为病人出院计划和康复过程的一部分。
