Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to assess the impact of the HCT on psychological well-being, hope and social adjustment among patients with psychotic disorders.
Background: Patients with psychotic disorders frequently encounter challenges related to their psychological well-being, which encompasses a range of negative emotions such as depression, hopelessness and a lack of adjustment to social situations. As a non-pharmacological intervention, Horticulture Therapy (HCT) can be viewed as a supportive approach to psychiatric treatments, aiming to enhance both physical and mental health.
Method: The study utilised a randomised controlled trial research design. A study and control group of 60 patients with a psychotic disorder was established. The research took place at El-Ma'mora Hospital for Psychiatric Medicine, Alexandria, Egypt.
Findings: The IG exhibited significantly higher HHI scores compared to the CG, highlighting a notable improvement in hope among those who participated in the intervention. Regarding the Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWBS), the IG scored significantly higher than the CG, indicating enhanced autonomy in the intervention group. The Modified Social Adjustment Scale (MSAS) scored significantly higher, indicating superior social adjustment in various domains of life for the intervention group.
Implication: The integration of horticultural therapy as a therapeutic intervention, the recognition of holistic care, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, the promotion of patient-centered care, the importance of education and training and the encouragement of evidence-based practice.
Relevance statement: The research findings highlight the potential benefits of horticultural therapy in improving the mental health and social adjustment of individuals with psychotic disorders.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally.
All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
