BACKGROUND
The number of urban community gardens, including those on rooftops, is increasing. However, few studies have explored the benefits of these gardens for people with intellectual disabilities or mental health disorders. We evaluated the association between urban rooftop gardening and quality of life of individuals with moderate to very marked disability.
METHODS
We collected quality of life information with a preliminary version of the INTEGRAL Scale questionnaire from all gardeners (n = 54) and among a comparison group of nongardeners (n = 43). We also conducted semi-structured interviews with participants and technicians, and made field observations.
RESULTS
Our results indicated that urban rooftop gardening was associated with better personal development and suggested enhanced physical and emotional well-being, sense of purpose, social inclusion, interpersonal relations (including new perspectives on the urban environment and the changes in social roles), and general quality of life.
CONCLUSION
Our study extends the evidence on the potential benefits of urban rooftop gardening in general, and specifically for those with intellectual disabilities and mental health disorders.
背景
城市社区花园（包括屋顶花园）的数量正在增加。然而，很少有研究探讨这些花园对智力残疾或精神健康障碍者的益处。我们评估了城市屋顶园艺与中度至重度残疾个体生活质量之间的关联。
方法
我们使用 INTEGRAL 量表问卷的初步版本收集了所有园丁（n=54）和非园丁（n=43）的生活质量信息。我们还对参与者和技术人员进行了半结构化访谈，并进行了实地观察。
结果
我们的结果表明，城市屋顶园艺与更好的个人发展有关，并表明改善了身体和情绪健康、目标感、社会包容、人际关系（包括对城市环境和社会角色变化的新视角）以及整体生活质量。
结论
我们的研究扩展了城市屋顶园艺的潜在益处的证据，特别是对于智力残疾和精神健康障碍者。
