Abstract

Aim

In this study, we developed a non-face-to-face forest therapy program using videos and applied it to nurses working in hospitals during the prolonged COVID-19 situation to confirm the effect on their mental health.

Method

This study was a randomized control group pretest-posttest, and 27 clinical nurses in the experimental group and 28 clinical nurses in the control group participated. The program developed forest therapy videos and three city videos each. The experimental group watched the forest therapy video and the control group watched the city video and stress and happiness were measured through pre-test and post-test.

Results

The stress level of clinical nurses who applied the non-face-to-face forest therapy program had a significant reduction effect compared to the control group on day 2 (t = −2.239 P = .026) and day 3 (t = −3.188, P = .003). On the other hand, there was no significant effect in happiness in both groups. In addition, repeated measures analysis of variance statistical analysis confirmed that the stress level of the experimental group significantly decreased over time (F = 10.578, P < .001).

Conclusion

The non-face-to-face forest therapy program is significant in that it had a positive effect on relieving stress by conducting a randomized controlled study targeting clinical nurses working in various hospitals.

新冠肺炎大流行期间护士非面对面森林治疗计划的发展和效果。

目的：在这项研究中，我们使用视频开发了一个非面对面的森林治疗计划，并将其应用于长期新冠肺炎期间在医院工作的护士，以确认其对心理健康的影响。方法：本研究采用随机对照组前后测法，实验组27名临床护士和对照组28名临床护士参加。该项目制作了森林治疗视频和三个城市视频。实验组观看森林治疗视频，对照组观看城市视频，通过测试前和测试后测量压力和幸福感 = -2.239便士 = .026）和第3天（t = -3.188，第页 = .003）。另一方面，两组的幸福感都没有显著影响。此外，方差统计分析的重复测量分析证实，实验组的应激水平随着时间的推移显著降低（F = 10.578，P 结论：通过对不同医院的临床护士进行随机对照研究，非面对面森林治疗计划在缓解压力方面具有积极作用。
