The study aimed to investigate the psychological and physiological effects of forest therapy programs on adolescents under probation. Fifty probationary teenagers from the Ministry of Gyeonggi Justice Compliance Support Center participated in the study. The study explored the effectiveness of a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design forest therapy program. The forest therapy program was conducted for two days and one night for the experimental groups (N = 33), who participated in the forest therapy program, and the control group (N = 17), who received two days of attendance center orders program in the lecture room of the Ministry of Gyeonggi Justice Compliance Support Center. As a result, adolescents under probation who participated in forest therapy programs had a beneficial effect on psychological well-being (K-WBMMS) and HRV's HF (high frequency) and LF/HF (A ratio of Low Frequency to High Frequency) compared to those who received the general attendance center orders program. These results support that forest therapy programs play a positive role in the psychological and physiological effects of probationary adolescents and can affect the diversity of rehabilitation programs for probationary adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨森林疗法方案对缓刑青少年的心理和生理影响。来自京畿道司法合规支援中心的 50 名缓刑青少年参与了这项研究。研究采用非随机对照前后测设计的森林疗法方案，对实验组（N=33）进行了为期两天一夜的森林疗法，对照组（N=17）在京畿道司法合规支援中心的演讲室参加了为期两天的出席中心命令方案。结果表明，与参加一般出席中心命令方案的缓刑青少年相比，参加森林疗法方案的缓刑青少年在心理幸福感（K-WBMMS）和心率变异性的 HF（高频）和 LF/HF（低频与高频之比）方面具有有益的效果。这些结果支持森林疗法方案在缓刑青少年的心理和生理影响方面发挥积极作用，并可能影响缓刑青少年康复方案的多样性。
