Nature-based interventions hold promise for vulnerable youth experiencing mental, emotional, developmental, behavioral, or social difficulties. This scoping review examined wilderness therapy, animal assisted therapy, care farming, and gardening and horticultural therapy programs to raise awareness and guide future development of research and treatment options. Studies included in this review were identified through a systematic search of the literature informed by a scoping review framework. Studies were examined by design, sample, intervention, and key findings. The majority of studies were quantitative using repeated measures designs and were conducted primarily in the United States. Sample sizes were generally small. Interventions were residential and community based with varying degrees of duration. Outcomes were largely positive across a wide range of psychosocial and behavioral measures and often maintained post-treatment. We emphasize the importance of robust empirical designs, comprehensive description of the interventions and surrounding therapies, and identification of target groups.
基于自然的干预措施有望帮助那些在心理、情感、发育、行为或社交方面存在困难的弱势青年。本综述研究了荒野疗法、动物辅助疗法、农事疗法以及园艺疗法项目，以提高认识并指导未来研究和治疗方案的发展。本综述纳入的研究是通过在范围综述框架指导下对文献进行系统检索而确定的。研究从设计、样本、干预措施和主要研究结果等方面进行了审查。大多数研究采用重复测量设计进行定量研究，主要在美国开展。样本量一般较小。干预措施以住宿和社区为基础，持续时间各不相同。在广泛的心理社会和行为指标方面，结果大多是积极的，且往往在治疗后得以维持。我们强调采用强有力的实证设计、全面描述干预措施及相关疗法以及确定目标群体的重要性。
