Utilization of forest healing resources for improving the effect of forest healing therapy program
Today, the population is increasing for forest education and healing purposes. Accordingly, various types of forest education and healing programs (as ‘program’) are being developed and operated. But development of program using forest healing resources (as ‘FHR’) is insufficient. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of program using FHR on the improvement of healing effect. The program was improved by the groups of subjects (public officials as ‘G1’, youth ‘G2) using FHR. To find out the improvement of healing effect, the healing effect score (as ‘HES’) of 2018 and the HES of the improved program in 2019 were compared for each subject. G1 used ‘serotonin’ resources to improve ‘Positive Emotion’. G2 focused on ‘Index of Greenness’ to increase the greenness rate. To verify the effect, the pre- and post-survey scale of self-developed 'Forest Welfare Program Effectiveness Survey' was used. To verify the healing effect, paired sample t-test was conducted, and independent sample t-test(one side) was conducted to investigate the improvement of the program. The results of comparing ‘Positive Emotional’ showed that G1-2018(n=30) scored 0.73 and G1-2019 (n=30) scored 1.11. The 2019 program improved FHR by 0.38 points (p<.05).<br /> The ‘Index of Greenness’ results showed that G2-2018 (n=29) scored 2.21 in 2018 and G2-2019- (n=49) scored 2.94. The 2019 program improved FHR by 0.79 points (p<.01). The utilization of appropriate FHR by target contributed to the improvement of forest healing effects. Therefore, if FHR are utilized to develop and improve programs, it is expected that the forest healing effect will be further enhanced.
