“…Gardens are increasingly included in hospital developments because of their nature content, health promoting qualities, capacity to reduce stress, and ability to improve well-being and enrich the hospital environment ( Cooper Marcus & Sachs, 2014 ; Farrow, In Press ; Kamp, In Press ; Nieberler-Walker et al, 2019 ; Reeve et al, 2017 ). Clinical and unfamiliar environments, such as hospitals, can add to stress, anxiety, and irrational thinking because the environment looks, smells and feels “unfamiliar” and is vastly different from any “normal” living environment (Williams Goldhagen, 2017 ).…”

Aim: This review explores the role of purposefully designed and well-integrated therapeutic hospital gardens (THGs) for the benefits of patients, their families, and staff. Background: Significant benefits are realized when people are in contact with nature in the city. Although hospital gardens are prevalent and the beneficial effects of nature on health are widely acknowledged, the establishment of a consistent definition for hospital gardens that promote health is vital to attain reliable and quantifiable health outcomes. Methods: Twenty-eight peer-reviewed journals were critiqued for the period of 2016–2021 and updated with 12 articles from 2021 to 2023 to analyze and synthesize the latest thinking and development in this emergent field. Subsequently, current books and exemplar practice literature were synthesized with the results of the literature review to produce a working definition of THGs. Results: Three themes and 14 subthemes were established showing the interconnectedness of THG definition, user needs and experiences, and the benefits and values of THGs. Two original findings can be established—a need to have a consensus on terminology and to establish design processes. The working definition was produced as a foundational step to guide stakeholders in implementing THGs. Conclusion: THGs can play a role in improving well-being when they are purposefully designed and well-integrated in hospital programs and health policy. Hospital CEOs, designers, and healthcare experts can use the findings and working definition to assist the establishment of such health promoting gardens.

The Healthy Child Programme sets out an evidence-based, preventive programme supporting current research which demonstrates lifestyles and habits established during childhood, adolescence and young adulthood influence a person’s health throughout their life. Healthy Lives Brighter Futures identifies the importance of targeting services toward young people, ensuring they receive high quality support and advice on making healthy choices such as alcohol, drugs, smoking, sexual health. During the developmental stage of adolescence young people strive for independence and begin to make decisions that impact on the rest of their lives. School nurses are skilled in leading teams that promote health improvement. They working within a progressive model where services are both universal and targeted towards those with specific needs. If young people are involved in service design and delivery they are more likely to access services and promote them within their peer group. Consultation with young people also allows effective evaluation of the service ensuring quality is maintained and service delivery improved. The article explores the role of the school nurse when involving young people in service development and the implications this has for future practice.
