Dementia is on the rise globally and includes complex cognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations. Prioritizing neuropsychiatric symptom management in persons living with dementia (PLWD) can reduce rates of adverse events and reduce caregiver burden. Therefore, health care providers and caregivers should explore all available therapeutic modalities for PLWD to provide high-quality care to these individuals. The current systematic review synthesizes the evidence concerning the use of therapeutic horticulture (TH) as a nonpharmacological tool for decreasing neuro-psychiatric symptoms, such as agitation and depression, in PLWD. Findings support the use of TH as a low-cost intervention that nurses can use as an important aspect of the care plan for PLWD, particularly in dementia care facilities. [(7), 49-52.].
痴呆症在全球呈上升趋势，包括复杂的认知和神经精神表现。优先管理痴呆症患者（PLWD）的神经精神症状可以降低不良事件的发生率并减轻照顾者的负担。因此，医疗保健提供者和照顾者应探索所有可用的治疗方法，为这些人提供高质量的护理。目前的系统评价综合了有关治疗性园艺（TH）作为一种非药物工具的证据，用于减少 PLWD 的神经精神症状，如躁动和抑郁。研究结果支持将 TH 作为一种低成本干预措施，护士可以将其作为 PLWD 护理计划的重要方面，特别是在痴呆症护理机构中使用。[(7)，49-52]。
