“… Butterfield and Martin (2016) concur that garden users, experiencing a crisis that challenges perception, purpose, and meaning, are comforted by being in nature, and they draw personal symbolism from the garden experience to make sense of it all. According to Igeño-Cano (2020) , carers reported improved patient conditions because of increased brain function after taking patients for 15-min garden walks in their beds. Carers conjecture that the benefits noticeable in healthy individuals and in noncritical patients may be extrapolated to patients admitted to intensive care units ( Igeño-Cano, 2020 ).…”

Aim: This review explores the role of purposefully designed and well-integrated therapeutic hospital gardens (THGs) for the benefits of patients, their families, and staff. Background: Significant benefits are realized when people are in contact with nature in the city. Although hospital gardens are prevalent and the beneficial effects of nature on health are widely acknowledged, the establishment of a consistent definition for hospital gardens that promote health is vital to attain reliable and quantifiable health outcomes. Methods: Twenty-eight peer-reviewed journals were critiqued for the period of 2016–2021 and updated with 12 articles from 2021 to 2023 to analyze and synthesize the latest thinking and development in this emergent field. Subsequently, current books and exemplar practice literature were synthesized with the results of the literature review to produce a working definition of THGs. Results: Three themes and 14 subthemes were established showing the interconnectedness of THG definition, user needs and experiences, and the benefits and values of THGs. Two original findings can be established—a need to have a consensus on terminology and to establish design processes. The working definition was produced as a foundational step to guide stakeholders in implementing THGs. Conclusion: THGs can play a role in improving well-being when they are purposefully designed and well-integrated in hospital programs and health policy. Hospital CEOs, designers, and healthcare experts can use the findings and working definition to assist the establishment of such health promoting gardens.

“…Outdoor gardens have been reported to have a beneficial impact on the well-being of patients, visitors, and healthcare professionals, providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment (18, 36, 37) and humanistic care (19). Shower bathing is another pleasant stimulation for the ICU patients, who often request it.…”

“…The most frequent primary diagnosis on ICU admission was respiratory failure (52.5%), followed by sepsis (26.3%), cardiac failure (13.1%), and gastrointestinal disease (6.1%). The median score of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II on ICU admission was 22 (IQR, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Ninety-four patients (94.9%) received mechanical ventilation, the median length of which was 8 d (IQR, 4-14.5).…”

OBJECTIVES: Early mobilization of ICU patients has been reported to be safe and feasible. Recently, our ICU implemented out-of-the-ICU wheelchair excursions as a daily rehabilitation practice. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety of participation in the out-of-the-ICU program for early mobilization. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Single general ICU in a tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Adult patients who were admitted to the ICU and underwent the out-of-the-ICU program as an early mobilization intervention was investigated. INTERVENTIONS: The out-of-the-ICU activities include visiting indoor area, visiting our outdoor garden, and bathing. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Medical records of ICU patients who participated in the out-of-the-ICU program were reviewed. The primary outcome was the occurrence rate of physical safety events, defined as unintentional removal of medical devices, patient agitation, a fall, or an injury. The secondary outcome was the occurrence rate of adverse physiologic changes, defined as hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, desaturation, bradypnea, tachypnea, an increase in F io 2 , or an increase in doses of vasoactive drugs. In total, 99 adult patients participated in the program, comprising a total of 423 out-of-the-ICU sessions. Among them, one session resulted in a physical safety event, the dislodgement of a tracheostomy tube. In 23 sessions, one or two adverse physiologic changes occurred. None of these events required additional treatment nor resulted in serious sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: An out-of-the-ICU program can be provided safely to adult ICU patients, provided that it is supervised by a dedicated intensivist with an appropriately trained multiprofessional staff and equipment on-site. It appears to contribute to the promotion of humanizing intensive care.

Hemşirelik, bireylerin, ailelerin ve toplumun sağlığını koruma, geliştirme, hastalıkları önleme, tedavi etme ve rehabilite etme amacını taşıyan bir sağlık disiplinidir. Hemşirelik tarih boyunca var olan ve hemşirenin bağımsız rollerinden biri olarak kabul edilen bakım, bu disiplinin temelini oluşturur. Hemşirelik bakımı, yalnızca fiziksel sağlığı değil, aynı zamanda duygusal, sosyal ve ruhsal sağlığı da içeren bütünlük ilkesine dayalı bir yaklaşım sunar. Bu bağlamda, sağlanan bakım uygulamaları; bireye yardım etmeyi, terapötik iletişim kurmayı, rahatlık sağlamayı, bireyin kendi iyileştirme gücünü kullanmasını desteklemeyi, bireyi biyo-psiko-sosyokültürel ve spiritüel boyutlarıyla bir bütün olarak ele alarak tedavi etmeyi, sağlık eğitimi vermeyi ve sağlıklı davranışlar kazandırmayı içerir. İyileşme süreci, bireyin fiziksel, zihinsel, sosyal, çevresel, ruhsal ve kültürel boyutlarıyla birlikte yaşadığı kapsamlı bir dönüşüm sürecidir. İyileştirici bakım çevresi, fiziksel ve fiziksel olmayan tüm yönleri içeren, enerji ve farkındalık sağlayan bir ortamdır. Bu ortam, iyiliği, güzelliği, konforu, saygıyı ve huzuru içerir. Hemşirelik uygulamalarında bu çevreyi oluşturmanın amacı, bireylere iyileşme süreçlerinde destek olmaktır. İyileştirici bakım çevresi uygulamaları arasında terapötik çevre oluşturma, müzik terapi, renk terapi, doğa temelli ses terapi, aromaterapi, sessiz zaman protokolü, iyileştirme bahçeleri gibi tamamlayıcı ve bütünleştirici girişimleri içermektedir. Bu bağlamda ilgili derlemenin amacı hemşirelik kuramlarına dayalı alternatif girişim yöntemleri ile iyileştirici bakım çevresi ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır.
