چکیده:
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess whether Horticulture Therapy (HT) is effective
for the improvement of the conceptual organization function, memory and psychological
symptoms of chronic depressed male outpatients.
Methods: 30 outpatients were chosen by the convenience sampling method. They were
assigned to two groups, namely the experimental and the control group, by the random
assignment method (each group comprising of 15 people). Outpatients were evaluated
for before and after intervention by Rey–Osterrieth complex figure, and on the Depression
Anxiety and Stress Scale, DASS-44.
Results: After ten sessions of horticultural therapy, the patients’ scores on conceptual
organization function, memory, depression, anxiety, and stress improved significantly.
Discussion: Although horticultural therapy improved outpatients’ scores on conceptual
organization function, memory, depression, anxiety, and stress, future study is needed,
especially by engaging more patients.
