Nature prescription programs have emerged to address the high burden of chronic disease and increasingly sedentary and screen-based lifestyles. This study examines the base of evidence regarding such programs. We conducted a narrative review of published literature using four electronic databases. We included case studies, research design articles, and empirical studies that discussed any type of outdoor exposure or activities initiated by a health-care provider from an outpatient clinic. We examined articles for information on target populations, health outcomes, and structural and procedural elements. We also summarized evidence of the effectiveness of nature prescription programs, and discussed needs and challenges for both practice and research. Eleven studies, including eight empirical studies, have evaluated nature prescription programs with either structured or unstructured formats, referring patients either to nearby parks or to formal outdoor activity programs. Empirical studies evaluate a wide variety of health behaviors and outcomes among the most at-risk children and families. Research is too sparse to draw patterns in health outcome responses. Studies largely tested program structures to increase adherence, or patient follow-through, however findings were mixed. Three published studies explore providers’ perspectives. More research is necessary to understand how to measure and increase patient adherence, short and long-term health outcomes for patients and their families, and determinants of provider participation and participation impacts on providers’ own health.

“…We found having preventive medical care to be associated with protective behaviors for obesity prevention. Health-care providers agree that a prescription for outdoor physical activity is essential to help combat obesity; however, prior to writing a prescription, assessment of the environment and potential strategies to increase physical activity outdoors need to be performed [34].…”

Environmental factors, preventive medical care, and behaviors play a role in childhood obesity. This study used the National Survey of Children's Health, 2011-2012, for 42,828 children, ages 10–17 years. Greater percent of children in the overweight/obese category performed no moderate-to-vigorous physical activity: 11.9 (10.6, 13.3) as compared to children in the underweight/normal weight category: 9.7 (8.9 10.6). No moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with no preventive medical care, inadequate or no health care, parents reporting higher percent of no parks or playgrounds, and unsafe and unsupportive neighborhoods. Odds ratios of overweight/obesity were higher for males [OR = 2.06 (1.64, 2.60)], Hispanics [OR = 1.49 (1.17, 1.90)], non-Hispanic Black females [OR = 1.59 (1.20, 2.08)], younger females [OR10–12 yrs. = 1.35 (1.03, 1.79) and OR13–15 yrs. = 1.4. (1.06, 1.89) vs. OR = 1.0016-17 yrs.], children with high television viewing [OR0-1 hr./day = 0.72 (0.61, 0.86); OR>1 to <4 hrs./day 0.84 (0.72, 0.99) = vs. OR = 1.00≥ 4 hrs./day,] and lower categories of physical activity [OR 0 days/wk. = 1.38 (1.13, 1.62); OR1–3 days/wk. = 1.14 (1.22, 1.62) vs. OR7 days/wk. = 1.00], higher poverty, smoke exposure, and parental perception of their neighborhood as unsupportive. Promoting preventive medical care and neighborhood cooperation may have potential to lower childhood obesity.

“…According to the latest investigation, hospitals are losing their ability to properly and meritoriously transmit training. But it's obvious that every company wants to increase its access to highly educated workers (Christiana, James, & Battista, 2017). The challenge now is figuring out how to effectively translate that instruction into a training environment.…”

The issue that was brought to light by "World Health Organisation and Pakistan's Ministry of National Health Services (Regulations and Coordination") served as the impetus for the present research study that was carried out. Protecting frontline healthcare providers who are engaged in the battle against COVID-19 was the objective of a training programme that was developed as part of the "We Care" campaign and subsequently put into action. In the first stage, 100,000 front-line healthcare workers were trained that how to implement personal protective equipment at workplace. In this connection, more than 2000 training sessions were organized throughout the country since for June to December 2020. The trainees were including (doctors, all paramedic’s staff and nurses). The training transfer was the extreme important to the effectiveness of training program. The majority of a company's resources are often allocated to training and development programmes, which are intended to foster the acquisition of new skills and developing knowledge. As a result, the purpose of this particular research was to determine whether or not there is a connection between the relevance of individual and organisational characteristics and the function that motivation plays as a mediator in terms of transfer and transfer training. It was decided to implement a new concept of HCM, in which individual and organisational elements would be given priority, and the six subcomponents—self-efficacy, drive to learn, career component, chance to perform, awareness of strategic linage, and accountability—would be given priority in the second order. Nexus to primary data, the data via survey questionnaire was collected from 256 nurse of six general hospitals of Peshawar city. After collection of data, SPSS was used for initial statistical tests, while SEM-PLS was used to test hypotheses. The findings of the most recent research study reveals that both individual factors and organizational factors has significant impact on transfer training. It also shows that motivation to transfer as mediator has significant partial mediation in between the relationship of individual and organizational factors and training transfer. This novelty of the current study is the use of HCM, and use of mediator. The study was limited to only one big city and also restricted to nurse population. In future, other scholars, researchers can cover more cities, can also include more sectors other than health sector. Moreover, other variables such as proactive behavior and proactive personality can use a moderator to enhance the outcomes of training transfer in future.
