“…To date, there is no consensus or guideline for use of exercise in the treatment of AN [57]. The majority of studies were of small sample size and suggested training programmes varied, thus restricting generalisability of the findings.…”

Background: Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterised by a physical and psychosocial deterioration due to an altered pattern on the intake and weight control. The severity of the disease is based on the degree of malnutrition. The objective of this article is to review the scientific evidence of the refeeding process of malnourished inpatients with AN; focusing on the clinical outcome. Methods: We conducted an extensive search in Medline and Cochrane; on April 22; 2019; using different search terms. After screening all abstracts; we identified 19 papers that corresponded to our inclusion criteria. Results: The article focuses on evidence on the characteristics of malnutrition and changes in body composition; energy and protein requirements; nutritional treatment; physical activity programmes; models of organisation of the nutritional treatment and nutritional support related outcomes in AN patients. Conclusion: Evidence-based standards for clinical practice with clear outcomes are needed to improve the management of these patients and standardise the healthcare process.

“…A pilot project completed prior to this study showed that nature has the potential to have a special appeal to men and that most men agree that being in nature has a positive effect on their quality of life and can increase feelings of joy, power, and peace [64,65]. In addition, the novelty of the study is to investigate whether the 'Wildman Programme' has a structure and contains methods that are easily accessible and easy to integrate for healthcare professionals in healthcare programmes in municipalities in Denmark.…”

“…The NBMC approach has been developed in a pilot project during the period 2014-2018 [64,65]. The 'Wildman Programme' consists of the following main elements: (1) Nature environments and nature experiences, (2) Body awareness, (3) Mind relaxation and meditation, and (4) Fire talks, storytelling, and community spirit.…”

“…The intervention programme takes place in five different natural environments in the countryside (Table 1). They are not located far from urban areas, but participants in a previous pilot study have experienced that they are completely surrounded by natural environments [64,65]. Every second time the group meets during the 12-week course, they meet up at their base camp to create a safe base for the group processes.…”

“…The nature environments are selected with inspiration from the Perceived Sensory Dimensions (PSD): serene nature rich in species and refuge, which are identified as most important to people with symptoms of stress [16,66,67]. The five local nature environments (see Table 1) have been selected during the pilot project [64,65]. They are based on feedback and preferences from former participants.…”

Many men have poor mental health and need help to recover. However, designing a rehabilitation intervention that appeals to men is challenging. This study protocol aims to describe the ‘Wildman Programme’, which will be a nature-based rehabilitation programme for men on long-term sick leave due to health problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, post-cancer and chronic cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, or diabetes type II. The programme will be a nature-based rehabilitation initiative combining nature experiences, attention training, body awareness training, and supporting community spirit. The aim of the study will be to examine whether the ‘Wildman Programme’ can help to increase quality of life and reduce stress among men with health problems compared to treatment as usual. The study will be a matched control study where an intervention group (number of respondents, N = 52) participating in a 12-week nature-based intervention will be compared to a control group (N = 52) receiving treatment as usual. Outcomes are measured at baseline (T1), post-treatment (T2), and at follow up 6 months post-intervention (T3). The results of this study will be important to state whether the method in the ‘Wildman Programme’ can be implemented as a rehabilitation offer in the Danish Healthcare System to help men with different health problems.
