“…The study participants identified how they were more comfortable discussing their stress with group members than with family members. This is in contrast to other research which found that people experiencing mental health difficulties usually seek support from their family and/or GP (Anderson and Jane-Llopis, 2011). Perhaps the participants in this study believe that they are over-burdening family members by discussing their stress.…”

Introduction: Stress has been identified as a risk factor in both physical and mental illness and can negatively impact on an individual's ability to participate in daily occupations. There has been an increased emphasis on addressing mental health in a primary care context using a health promotion approach. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the acceptability of a primary care 6-week stREss maNagemEnt and Well-being (RENEW) programme. Method: This pilot study used a mixed methods convergent parallel design. Twelve individuals with self-reported experiences of stress participated in the programme. The Canadian Measure of Occupational Performance, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and visual analogue scales for stress, concentration, sleep and appetite were administered at three time points. A focus group and individual interviews explored participants' experiences of the programme and impact on occupational participation. Results: There were statistically significant improvements in occupational performance and satisfaction, anxiety and self-reported stress. Study participants reported that attendance at the programme increased their awareness of stress and gave them strategies to manage their stress. Conclusion: The positive findings from this pilot study suggest that the RENEW programme has potential as a health promotion intervention in primary care that warrants further investigation.

“…Mental health service planning frameworks should explicitly address prevention and mental health promotion. Importantly, we need to concentrate investments in supporting parents and families and in adequately funding an educational system that fully recognises the importance of promoting and supporting the development of individual-level competencies that build mental health (Anderson and Jané-Llopis, 2011).…”

“…Recent studies have reported a relationship between mental health and parks and green spaces at the neighborhood level [9,11,12,13,14,15]. Mental health issues may arise because of genetic factors or the psychological state of the individual [16] but can be exacerbated by social and economic inequalities and the state of the surrounding environment [17,18]. Parks and green space can help improve mental health through encouraging physical activity [12,19,20], social interaction, and contact with nature while reducing psychological stress [9,21,22,23].…”

The mounting mental health issues faced by elderly urban residents increase the social and economic costs to society associated with dementia and depression. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the characteristics of elderly urban residents suffering from mental health issues, to address these issues more effectively. We used 2015 Community Health Survey data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to identify the demographic and social characteristics of 11,408 elderly urban residents in relation to stress levels and symptoms of depression in seven metropolitan areas in Korea, and to calculate the odds ratio for urban green space. We found that the prevalence of these mental health issues generally decreased in relation to the ratio of green space of an area. These findings suggest identifying elderly people who are vulnerable to certain mental health issues based on demographic and social characteristics and demonstrate that the ratio of urban green space within a community is an important component in improving mental health outcomes for elderly urban residents. These findings have policy implications for assisting elderly people vulnerable to certain mental health issues and for establishing a green welfare policy targeting this population.
