ABSTRACT

The aim of this review was to outline the most relevant benefits of forest bathing for well-being promotion. This study was designed as an umbrella literature review. Medline (via PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL and the DOAJ were systematically searched for relevant reviews up to February 2021. After article selection, 16 systematic reviews met inclusion criteria. Overall, the best available evidence supports the use of forest bathing as a complementary practice for the promotion of psychophysical well-being, whereas evidence for its use as a therapeutic practice for the improvement of organic diseases needs to grow before clear and specific clinical indications can be formulated. The positive impact of forest bathing on individual quality of life, along with its favorable cost-effectiveness profile, may justify its possible adoption for public health strategies of well-being promotion. Further investigations on the topic are advised.

摘要

本次审查的目的是概述森林沐浴对促进幸福感最相关的好处。本研究被设计为综合性文献综述。Medline（通过 PubMed）、EMBASE、Web of Science、Cochrane Library、Google Scholar、Scopus、PsycINFO、CINAHL 和 DOAJ 系统搜索了截至 2021 年 2 月的相关评论。文章选择后，16 篇系统评论符合纳入标准。总体而言，现有的最佳证据支持将森林浴作为促进身心健康的补充实践，而将其用作改善器质性疾病的治疗实践的证据需要在明确和具体的临床适应症出现之前增加。制定。森林浴对个人生活质量的积极影响，连同其有利的成本效益概况，可能证明其可能被用于促进福祉的公共卫生战略。建议对该主题进行进一步调查。
