To examine the psychological effects of forest therapy program on workers.
The subjective symptoms index, a shortened version of the profile of mood states (POMS), and a semantic differential (SD) method were used to measure the psychological effects.
The evaluations were performed 3 days before, during, and 1, 3, and 5 days after the forest therapy. The following results were obtained: (1) the subjective symptoms improved before breakfast and continued for 5 days; (2) the mood evaluated using POMS improved before breakfast and continued for 3 days; and (3) “comfortable,” “relaxed,” and “natural” feelings evaluated using the SD method were enhanced before breakfast, lunch, and dinner during forest therapy.
These results provided scientific evidence of the psychological effects of forest therapy program on workers.
探讨森林疗法项目对工作者的心理影响。
采用主观症状指数、情绪状态量表（POMS）简版以及语义差异（SD）法来测量心理影响。
在森林疗法前3天、疗法期间以及疗法后1天、3天和5天进行评估。得到以下结果：（1）主观症状在早餐前有所改善，并持续5天；（2）使用POMS评估的情绪在早餐前有所改善，并持续3天；（3）在森林疗法期间，早餐、午餐和晚餐前使用SD法评估的“舒适”“放松”和“自然”感受增强。
这些结果为森林疗法项目对工作者的心理影响提供了科学依据。
