Given the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic, with strict emphasis on social distancing, many individuals and families are experiencing social isolation. The need to explore effective strategies for health promotion and wellness is clear.
The purpose of this report is to highlight evidence supporting the health benefits of nature-based therapeutics and to describe the exploratory and translational research agenda for a nurse-led program entitled RxPLORE: Prescribing Life Outdoors and Real Exploration.
Integrative review of the current state of evidence for nature-based therapeutics and operationalisation of a nature-based health promotion framework as the foundation of a PhD-DNP collaborative program of research.
Amidst the unfolding crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of nature-based therapeutics is becoming more widely recognised, as are layers of disparities in access to nature. A nurse-led team proposes a program of research outlining priorities for the translation of current evidence into practice and for the investigation of gaps in the evidence base that will inform future recommendations for nature-based health promotion. The initial population of focus is children and families.
Prescribing nature is a strategy to promote health and wellness throughout the lifespan. For all populations to experience the health-promoting benefits of nature, nurses engage community members and collaborate across sectors to advocate for equitable access to nature and environmental stewardship through conservation practices.
鉴于新冠疫情的持续时间和强度,且严格强调社交距离,许多个人和家庭正经历社会隔离。探索促进健康和幸福的有效策略的必要性显而易见。
本报告的目的是强调支持基于自然疗法对健康有益的证据,并描述一项由护士主导的名为“RxPLORE:户外生活与真实探索处方”项目的探索性和转化性研究议程。
对基于自然疗法的现有证据状况进行综合回顾,并将基于自然的健康促进框架付诸实践,作为博士 - 护理学博士合作研究项目的基础。
在新冠疫情不断演变的危机中,基于自然疗法的价值正得到更广泛认可,获取自然环境的差距层次也同样如此。一个由护士主导的团队提出了一项研究计划,概述了将现有证据转化为实践的优先事项,以及对证据基础中差距的调查,这将为未来基于自然的健康促进建议提供参考。最初关注的人群是儿童和家庭。
开“自然处方”是促进全生命周期健康和幸福的一种策略。为了让所有人群都能体验到自然对健康的促进作用,护士应与社区成员合作,并跨部门协作,通过保护措施倡导公平获取自然环境和进行环境管理。
