Although a large body of research supports the theory that exposure to nature results in mental health benefits, research evidence on the effects of having a view of green space from home is still scarce. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact that access to a green space view from home has on anxiety and depression. This is a cross-sectional study extracting data from the "2018 Green Spaces, Daily Habits and Urban Health Survey" conducted in Carmona (Spain). The study included variables on sociodemographic and lifestyle, view of green spaces from home, self-perceived health status, and risk of anxiety and depression measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Chi-square tests were used to assess variable's associations and a multiple linear regression models used to identify the variables explaining the risk of anxiety and depression, taking into account sociodemographic characteristics, frequency of visits and view of green spaces from home. According to our results, adults who enjoy a view of green spaces from home have a lower risk of anxiety and depression.
尽管大量研究支持暴露于自然会带来心理健康益处这一理论，但关于从家中看到绿色空间的影响的研究证据仍然稀缺。本研究旨在评估从家中看到绿色空间对焦虑和抑郁的影响。这是一项横断面研究，从西班牙卡莫纳进行的“2018 年绿色空间、日常习惯和城市健康调查”中提取数据。研究包括社会人口统计学和生活方式、从家中看到绿色空间、自我感知的健康状况以及使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表 (HADS) 测量的焦虑和抑郁风险等变量。卡方检验用于评估变量之间的关联，多元线性回归模型用于确定解释焦虑和抑郁风险的变量，同时考虑社会人口统计学特征、访问频率和从家中看到绿色空间。根据我们的结果，从家中看到绿色空间的成年人患焦虑和抑郁的风险较低。
