The objective of this review was to spotlight specific methods for people working from home to apply restorative environment research to improve productivity and mental health during shelter-in-place.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to sheltering-in-place and telework. While necessary, these strategies may lead to negative consequences such as social isolation and worse performance. However, nature environments have been shown to have a variety of positive effects in several different settings, including improved attention, positive affect, and increased job satisfaction, and these may be translated to the home workspace setting.
This provides a narrative review of the environmental psychology literature, describing articles involving nature in a task performance or stress context and how it has been applied. It then moves on to discuss how these findings could possibly be applied in the context of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although beneficial results are mixed, the review found a variety of relatively simple and cost-effective methods that could assist workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including taking a break in nature and implementing nature in the workspace.
The application of restorative environment research could be an efficient way of mitigating the negative psychological effects due to at-home sheltering and telework in order to combat COVID-19.
本综述旨在强调特定方法，以便居家办公的人员能够应用恢复性环境研究，在就地避难期间提高生产力和心理健康。
COVID-19 大流行导致了就地避难和远程办公。虽然这些策略是必要的，但它们可能会导致一些负面后果，例如社交隔离和工作表现下降。然而，自然环境已被证明在多种不同环境中具有多种积极影响，包括改善注意力、积极情绪和提高工作满意度，这些可能会转化为家庭工作空间环境。
本综述对环境心理学文献进行了叙述性回顾，描述了涉及自然环境在任务表现或压力背景下的文章，以及如何将其应用。然后，讨论了这些发现如何可能应用于 COVID-19 大流行期间的工作人员。
尽管有益的结果参差不齐，但综述发现了各种相对简单且具有成本效益的方法，可以在 COVID-19 大流行期间帮助工作人员，包括在自然环境中休息和在工作空间中融入自然。
恢复性环境研究的应用可能是一种有效的方法，可以减轻由于在家中避难和远程办公而导致的负面心理影响，从而对抗 COVID-19。
