The current COVID-19 pandemic has been causing significant upheavals in the daily lives of citizens and consequently also their mood (stress, distraction, anxiety, etc.), especially during the lockdown phase. The aim of the investigation is to evaluate the benefits of 20-30 minutes in contact with nature.
The Scientific Community, also through the evidence-based design approach, has already demonstrated the importance of greenery and nature on the psychophysical well-being of people and, in a moment of emergency, contact with the nature can be therapeutic and quite influential on the mental health of staff subject to stress.
During the lockdown, an Italian multidisciplinary working group promoted an experience-based survey, based on the Profile of Mood States methodology, for measuring the psychophysical well-being of hospital staff.
The author collected 77 questionnaires. The benefits that users have obtained from the experience in nature have been investigated by comparing the type of stresses they were subjected to and highlighting various peculiarities in the data analysis associated with the type of green in which they carried out the survey, the healthcare areas in which they worked during the pandemic emergency, and the moment in which the survey was conducted.
The study has highlighted that a short break in green spaces strongly influenced the mental and psychophysical well-being of hospital staff, emphasizing the importance of nearby green spaces in architectures for health. Even a brief break in nature can regenerate users, especially in times of a stressful health emergency.
当前的 COVID-19 大流行给公民的日常生活带来了重大动荡，因此也影响了他们的情绪（压力、分心、焦虑等），尤其是在封锁阶段。本研究旨在评估与自然接触 20-30 分钟的益处。
科学界还通过循证设计方法，已经证明了绿色植物和自然对人们身心健康的重要性，在紧急情况下，与自然接触可以起到治疗作用，并对处于压力下的工作人员的心理健康产生相当大的影响。
在封锁期间，一个意大利多学科工作组基于情绪状态分析问卷开展了一项基于经验的调查，以衡量医院工作人员的身心福祉。
作者收集了 77 份问卷。通过比较他们所承受的压力类型，研究了用户从自然体验中获得的益处，并在数据分析中突出了与他们进行调查的绿色类型、他们在大流行紧急情况下工作的医疗保健领域以及进行调查的时间相关的各种特点。
该研究表明，在绿色空间中短暂休息会强烈影响医院工作人员的精神和身心健康，强调了建筑中附近绿色空间对于健康的重要性。即使是在自然环境中短暂休息，也可以让使用者恢复活力，尤其是在面临压力的健康紧急情况时。
