Engaging in outdoor nature-based spaces has significant positive physiological and psychological health benefits. Although the integration of nature into indoor spaces is rarely considered a health-promoting tool, it may be an effective method for increasing nature engagement in a largely urbanized world. This paper presents an overview of indoor nature exposure (INE) by summarizing the current evidence of INE through the use of a scoping methodology. Results show that INE can be a health-promoting tool through the interaction of nature-based stimuli and individual characteristics (e.g. gender, age). Moreover, the results of the current literature need to be interpreted with consideration to methodological issues, such as the lack of participant characteristics, the issue of exposure realism and little qualitative data to highlight individual experiences. The scoping review process allowed for the summation of results and for a framework to be created in order to better understand how INE is facilitated.
置身于户外自然空间对生理和心理健康具有显著的积极益处。尽管将自然融入室内空间很少被视为一种促进健康的工具，但在一个高度城市化的世界里，它可能是增加与自然接触的有效方法。本文通过使用一种范围界定方法总结室内自然接触（INE）的现有证据，对其进行概述。结果表明，通过基于自然的刺激与个体特征（如性别、年龄）的相互作用，INE可以成为一种促进健康的工具。此外，当前文献的结果需要结合方法学问题进行解读，比如缺乏参与者特征、接触现实性问题以及用于突出个体体验的定性数据较少。范围界定综述过程有助于汇总结果并创建一个框架，以便更好地理解INE是如何实现的。
