Social Prescribing (SP) involves linking individuals with mental illness to local health and welfare services to improve quality of life (QoL) and biopsychosocial wellbeing. SP programs address psychosocial wellbeing by linking individuals to group activities. Forest Therapy (FT) is a group nature walk with prescribed activities that promote mindfulness, relaxation, and shared experience. Improvements in psychological and physical wellbeing have been demonstrated in FT, but psychosocial impacts have not been widely investigated. This study will implement an SP FT intervention and assess the impacts on QoL and biopsychosocial wellbeing. Participants will include 140 community-living adults with mental illness at Sydney/Gold Coast, Australia. A stepped-wedge cluster randomised design will be used; each participant will complete a 10-week control period followed by a 10-week FT intervention. Weekly 90-min FT sessions will be conducted in groups of 6–10 in local nature reserves. Validated tools will measure self-report QoL and biopsychosocial wellbeing pre- and post-control and intervention periods, and 5-week follow-up. Blood pressure and heart rate will be measured pre- and post-FT sessions. Hypothesised outcomes include improvements in QoL and biopsychosocial wellbeing. This study is the first to assess SP FT, and may provide evidence for a novel, scalable mental illness intervention.

森林治疗对生活在精神病患者社区的澳大利亚成年人的生活质量和生物心理健康的社会处方的社会化处方的楔入式随机分组试验：方案

社会处方（SP）涉及将患有精神疾病的个人与当地的健康和福利服务联系起来，以改善生活质量（QoL）和生物心理社会福利。SP计划通过将个人与小组活动联系起来来解决心理社会福祉。森林疗法（FT）是一项团体自然步行活动，其中包含规定的活动，可促进正念，放松和共享经验。《金融时报》已经证明了心理和身体健康的改善，但尚未广泛研究心理社会影响。这项研究将实施SP FT干预措施，并评估对QoL和生物心理健康的影响。参加者将包括澳大利亚悉尼/黄金海岸的140名患有精神疾病的社区居民。将使用阶梯楔形群随机设计；每个参与者将完成10周的控制期，然后进行10周的FT干预。每周90分钟的FT课程将以6-10人为一组在当地自然保护区中进行。经过验证的工具将衡量自我报告的QoL和生物心理健康的控制前后，干预期以及5周的随访时间。血压和心率将在FT前和后进行测量。假设的结果包括生活质量和生物心理社会幸福感的改善。这项研究是第一个评估SP FT的研究，可能为新颖，可扩展的精神疾病干预提供证据。和5周的随访。血压和心率将在FT前和后进行测量。假设的结果包括生活质量和生物心理社会幸福感的改善。这项研究是第一个评估SP FT的研究，可能为新颖，可扩展的精神疾病干预提供证据。和5周的随访。血压和心率将在FT前和后进行测量。假设的结果包括生活质量和生物心理社会幸福感的改善。这项研究是第一个评估SP FT的研究，可能为新颖，可扩展的精神疾病干预提供证据。
