SUMMARY:Turning Over a New Leaf: Links Between Nature Access and Outcomes in Long-Term Care
DESCRIPTION:Peggy Chi\, PhD MLA B.Arch.Sci. OALA CSLA\nPostdoctoral Fellow | Landscape Architect\nInstitute of Health Policy\, Management and Evaluation Dalla Lana School of Public Health\nInstitute for Life Course & Aging (ILCA) 2023-2024 Seminar Series \n\n\n\n\nNatural environments (e.g.\, vegetation\, daylight\, fresh air\, sky\, water\, weather\, and animals) in healthcare design are thought to promote health. This presentation will describe a study that examined the relationships between the natural environment and the mental health and well-being of older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (residents) and of their professional caregivers in long-term care homes. \nThe design\, usage\, and exposure to natural environments in long-term care homes were significantly associated with outcomes such as work-related stress\, burnout\, turnover intention\, and responsive behavior in secure and non-secure home areas. Practical implications derived from the finding will present opportunities for future research and potential interventions to include in the transformation of long-term care homes. \nDr. Peggy Chi is a licensed landscape architect whose work focuses on research\, knowledge mobilization\, and use of evidence to inform the design and decision-making of aging environments. \nRegistration is not required. Click here to join the zoom meeting on February 6 at 12:00.
