Evidence suggests that green spaces next to hospitals can be used to promote health. This article reports on a pilot study to determine how hospital green spaces can be used for patients with cardiac problems and their rehabilitation programmes. Over a six-week period, patients spent one hour per week taking part in activities, including tai chi, photography and willow sculpting, as part of their rehabilitation programme. Patients showed improved physical health, less social isolation, a better overall mood and increased positivity. They were also more likely to choose to exercise than at the start of the rehabilitation programme, and valued the new skills and knowledge that they gained.
有证据表明，医院旁的绿地可用于促进健康。本文报道了一项试点研究，以确定医院绿地如何用于心脏病患者及其康复计划。在六周的时间里，患者每周花一小时参加活动，包括太极拳、摄影和柳树雕塑，作为康复计划的一部分。患者的身体健康状况得到改善，社交隔离减少，总体情绪更好，积极性增强。与康复计划开始时相比，他们也更有可能选择锻炼，并且重视所获得的新技能和知识。
