nature-based interventions (NBI) have been shown to have positive effects on physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health. The purpose of this scoping literature review was to describe what is known regarding the cancer survivor experience in relationship to their interaction with the natural environment. Description/methods: this review was completed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The research strategy included a combination of these terms: cancer, neoplasms, nature, and forest therapy. The articles were blinded and screened by four independent researchers. A total of twelve articles were selected. Outcome/results: a total of 2786 cancer survivors participated in the twelve studies with multiple types and stages of cancer represented. The studies used multiple designs and measures. Results showed improvements in anxiety, depression, sleep, connectedness, stress, tension, confusion, fatigue, and pain. Participants reported that nature was the most important resource in coping with their cancer.
nature is beneficial for cancer survivors while they experience cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nature opportunities can be feasibly delivered with this population and need to be explored further and safely implemented to support the overall health and well-being of cancer survivors.
自然为本的干预措施（NBI）已被证明对身体、心理、社会和精神健康有积极影响。本范围性文献综述的目的是描述癌症幸存者与自然环境相互作用的经验。描述/方法：本综述使用系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR）进行。研究策略包括这些术语的组合：癌症、肿瘤、自然和森林疗法。文章由四名独立研究人员进行盲法筛选。共选择了十二篇文章。结果：共有 2786 名癌症幸存者参与了这 12 项研究，其中包括多种类型和阶段的癌症。研究采用了多种设计和测量方法。结果表明，焦虑、抑郁、睡眠、联系、压力、紧张、困惑、疲劳和疼痛都有所改善。参与者报告说，自然是应对癌症的最重要资源。结论和意义：自然对癌症幸存者在经历癌症诊断和治疗时有益。可以为这一人群提供自然机会，需要进一步探索并安全实施，以支持癌症幸存者的整体健康和福祉。
