摘要
目的:鉴于当前人口老龄化,对医疗设施、养老设施的需求,甚至其高患病率,调查老年人的优势至关重要。我们研究的目的是系统地回顾现有关于园艺疗法作为老年人治疗选择对健康影响的文献。主题和方法:根据系统评价和荟萃分析的标准方法,通过Web of science、science Direct、PubMed、EBSCO和Google Scholar五个数据库进行文章搜索。纳入了32篇已发表的文章,并对27个相关变量进行了荟萃分析,以评估园艺疗法对老年人身体和心理功能的益处。结果:结果表明,园艺疗法可能有助于帮助老年人减肥-0.195(95%CI-0.507,0.117),腰围-0.327(95%CI-0.637,0.017),降低压力-0.339(95%CI-0.1610,-0.069)和皮质醇-0.902(95%CI-0.728,0.002)水平,提高身体柔韧性0.302(95%CI0.036,0.569),社交0.370,(95%CI 0.115,0.624)和每日蔬菜和水果消费量0.688(95%CI 0.287,1.089)。结论:园艺疗法可能是增强老年人身体、心理和社会方面的有用工具。然而,纳入研究的质量存在显著的异质性和广泛的差异。未来需要进一步的高质量研究、对重大混杂变量的严格控制和调整,以及更多的人群,以进一步了解园艺疗法与老年人健康之间的联系。补充信息:在线版本包含补充材料,网址为10.1007/s10389-023-01938-w。
Effects of horticultural therapy on health in the elderly: A review and meta-analysis.
Aim: Given the current aging population, the demand on medical facilities, facilities for elderly care, and even their high prevalence, it is crucial to investigate the advantages of older people. The purpose of our study was to systematically review the existing literature on the health effects of horticultural therapy as a treatment option for the elderly.
Subject and methods: Article searches were conducted through five databases: Web of science, Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCO, and Google Scholar, according to the standard method of systematic evaluation and meta-analysis. Thirty-two published articles were included, and 27 relevant variables were meta-analyzed to assess the benefits of horticultural therapy in terms of physical and psychological functioning in the elderly.
Results: Results show that horticultural therapy may be helpful in helping seniors lose weight -0.195 (95% CI -0.507,0.117), reduce their waist circumference -0.327 (95% CI -0.637, -0.017), lower their stress -0.339 (95% CI -0.610, -0.069) and cortisol -0.902 (95% CI -0.728, -0.002) levels, improve their physical flexibility 0.302 (95% CI 0.036, 0.569), social interaction 0.370, (95% CI 0.115, 0.624), and daily vegetables and fruit consumption 0.688 (95% CI: 0.287, 1.089).
Conclusion: Horticultural therapy may be a useful tool for enhancing the physical, mental and social aspects of the elderly. However, there is substantial heterogeneity and wide variation in the quality of the included studies. Further high-quality studies, rigorous controls and adjustments for significant confounding variables, and larger populations are needed in the future to further our understanding of the link between horticultural therapy and elder health.
