简要总结
This pilot interventional study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of gardening as an occupational therapy intervention for individuals with mental illness residing in a long-term residential care facility in India. The primary outcomes include changes in quality of life, mood, cognition, and occupational functioning.
Gardening has been widely recognized internationally as a therapeutic modality with benefits for mental health and psychosocial well-being. However, there is a lack of interventional research conducted within Indian residential rehabilitation settings, despite the cultural relevance of gardening and its potential to promote meaningful engagement and recovery. This study therefore seeks to address this gap by generating locally applicable evidence to inform occupational therapy practice and mental health rehabilitation in India.
