Preventive treatment is crucial in averting the onset of musculoskeletal diseases, particularly among individuals in high-stress occupations. This study aimed to develop a forest healing program and a standardized survey index to gauge its efficacy in mitigating stress and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Service-oriented workers who engage in repetitive tasks but are not traditional office workers at risk of musculoskeletal issues were recruited. The forest healing program was crafted through a review of existing initiatives and identification of factors alleviating muscle tension and stress. A comprehensive survey index encompassing stress, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and somatization was designed. Participants were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Somatization Scale (SOM), and the newly devised survey index before and after engaging in the developed forest healing program. Evaluation of 42 participants pre- and post-program revealed significant reductions in PSS (25.857 ± 8.120/17.905 ± 5.958; P < .001), SOM (27.905 ± 8.839/20.286 ± 8.019; P < .001), and standard survey index scores (33.857 ± 10.280/23.333 ± 8.703; P < .001). The developed forest healing program demonstrated substantial stress relief and muscle relaxation benefits, proving effective in preventing musculoskeletal diseases. Moreover, the standardized survey index emerged as a valuable tool for assessing stress related to such disorders, exhibiting correlations with PSS and SOM.
预防性治疗对于避免肌肉骨骼疾病的发生至关重要，尤其是在从事高压力职业的人群中。本研究旨在制定一项森林疗养计划和一个标准化的调查指标，以评估其在减轻压力和预防肌肉骨骼疾病方面的效果。招募了从事重复性任务但并非传统办公室工作且有肌肉骨骼问题风险的服务型工作者。通过回顾现有举措并确定缓解肌肉紧张和压力的因素，制定了森林疗养计划。设计了一个涵盖压力、抑郁、焦虑、生活质量和躯体化的综合调查指标。在参与制定的森林疗养计划之前和之后，使用感知压力量表（PSS）、躯体化量表（SOM）和新设计的调查指标对参与者进行评估。对42名参与者进行计划前后评估，结果显示PSS（25.857±8.120/17.905±5.958；P<.001）、SOM（27.905±8.839/20.286±8.019；P<.001）和标准调查指标得分（33.857±10.280/23.333±8.703；P<.001）均显著降低。所制定的森林疗养计划显示出显著的减压和肌肉放松效果，证明对预防肌肉骨骼疾病有效。此外，标准化调查指标成为评估与此类疾病相关压力的有价值工具，与PSS和SOM存在相关性。
