Effect of nature-based health interventions for individuals diagnosed with anxiety, depression and/or experiencing stress—a systematic review and meta-analysis

Summary & key facts

This is a registered systematic review and meta-analysis that looked at whether nature-based health interventions help people who have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression, or who are experiencing stress. The title and registration number are given, but the short excerpt you provided only shows the registration ID and the DOI link. Because the actual results and details are not in the excerpt, I can't say what the researchers found or how strong the evidence was. To know what the study discovered and what it means for people, we need the full paper at the DOI shown.

Key facts:

• This paper is a systematic review and meta-analysis — that means the authors planned to collect and combine results from many studies on the same question.
• The review is registered with the ID CRD42024516270, which records the planned methods before the study starts.
• The review focused on nature-based health interventions for people diagnosed with anxiety or depression, and for people experiencing stress.
• The source is linked by the DOI 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-098598, so the full report is available from BMJ Open at that link; the short excerpt provided does not include the study results.
