Beautiful Hospital Landscaping

Landscaping Health Benefits

Beyond the obvious benefits of landscaping being aesthetically pleasing to the eye and helpful for the property value, there are studies showing that nicely landscaped hospital gardens have healing benefits for patients and staff. The calming effects of natural views can reduce stress and speed up the process of healing.

A study conducted by a research team by the name of Cooper-Marcus and Barnes in the late 90’s showed measurable benefits to both patients and staff. Their study showed that the hospital staff members were much happier and more productive when they had the ability to go outside and unwind. In addition, patients they interviewed said that the hospital gardens created a welcomed change from the stress of treatments and fear of illness.

For decades it has been evident that the stresses endured by healthcare workers can be overwhelming. Extremely long hours, difficultly and fatigue caused by shift changes, lack of control or authority over decisions and emotional demands of the job have taken a toll. These conditions have in some cases lowered job satisfaction which has the domino effect of increasing absenteeism or turnover.  These consequences obviously have an effect on the care patients may receive.

Studies have shown that hospital workers can find peace and tranquility by escaping to an outside hospital garden. This magnifies the need for landscaping expertise. Professional landscaping adds all of the necessary elements that make a garden one of splendor. Nature has a way of letting us escape to a world of calm and serenity. It is easy to recognize that a healthcare worked who is allowed the time to meditate and escape from a demanding profession can ultimately benefit those patients in their care. It also lowers the employment costs for hospitals as it takes time and money to train new employees.

For the patients and their families, a beautifully designed and landscaped hospital garden has been shown to have measurable positive results. Patients interviewed in studies had very positive comments regarding the benefits of going out into the hospital gardens. One study revealed a comment from a patient who said,  “It’s a good escape from what they put me through. I come out here between appointments. I feel much calmer, less stressed”. In addition, hospital gardens provide a pleasant escape for families to sit and visit with their family member.  Getting away from the hustle and bustle going on inside the hospital, families can take a breath and reflect on peaceful quality time together.
