This systematic review aims to evaluate changes in Chinese older adults' psychosocial wellbeing after receiving horticultural therapy, and examine existing evidence regarding horticultural therapy's effectiveness in a Chinese setting. Intervention studies measuring relevant outcomes amongst older adults and conducted in China were identified from ASSIA, CIHAHL Plus, PsycINFO, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science Core Collection and CNKI. Cochrane risk of bias assessment tools were used to appraise study quality. 16 studies were selected, among which four were published in English and 12 in Chinese. Findings suggested that after receiving horticultural therapy, older adults' psychosocial wellbeing is generally improved, but causal relationships between improvements and horticulture therapy were less clear. Features of horticultural therapy conducted in China is with its cultural and social uniqueness. Existing evidence supports the post-intervention benefits on completion of horticultural therapies, but the limitations in programme design, sample representativeness and methodological robustness limited the quality of the evidence.
本系统评价旨在评估中国老年人接受园艺疗法后心理社会幸福感的变化，并考察园艺疗法在中国背景下有效性的现有证据。从ASSIA、CINAHL Plus、PsycINFO、EMBASE、MEDLINE、SCOPUS、Web of Science核心合集和中国知网中识别在中国开展的、测量老年人相关结局的干预研究。采用Cochrane偏倚风险评估工具对研究质量进行评价。共纳入16项研究，其中4项以英文发表，12项以中文发表。研究结果表明，接受园艺疗法后，老年人的心理社会幸福感总体有所改善，但改善与园艺疗法之间的因果关系尚不清楚。在中国开展的园艺疗法具有文化和社会独特性。现有证据支持园艺疗法结束后的干预效益，但项目设计、样本代表性和方法稳健性方面的局限性限制了证据质量。
