Objective

The objective of this review was to spotlight specific methods for people working from home to apply restorative environment research to improve productivity and mental health during shelter-in-place.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to sheltering-in-place and telework. While necessary, these strategies may lead to negative consequences such as social isolation and worse performance. However, nature environments have been shown to have a variety of positive effects in several different settings, including improved attention, positive affect, and increased job satisfaction, and these may be translated to the home workspace setting.

Method

This provides a narrative review of the environmental psychology literature, describing articles involving nature in a task performance or stress context and how it has been applied. It then moves on to discuss how these findings could possibly be applied in the context of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results

Although beneficial results are mixed, the review found a variety of relatively simple and cost-effective methods that could assist workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including taking a break in nature and implementing nature in the workspace.

Application

The application of restorative environment research could be an efficient way of mitigating the negative psychological effects due to at-home sheltering and telework in order to combat COVID-19.

结果

尽管有益的结果好坏参半，但审查发现了多种相对简单且具有成本效益的方法，可以在 COVID-19 大流行期间为工人提供帮助，包括在大自然中休息和在工作区实施大自然。

应用

恢复性环境研究的应用可能是减轻因居家避难和远程办公以对抗 COVID-19 而产生的负面心理影响的有效方法。
