1/ Did you know that hospital patients with rooms overlooking trees recover faster than those without the same view?

It is beneficial #OneHealthApproach for hospitals as #trees ++ benefit producing fruits, home to hundreds of #species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals!

2/ Records on recovery after cholecystectomy of patients in a suburban Pennsylvania hospital between 1972 and 1981 were examined to determine whether assignment to a room with a window view of a natural setting might have restorative influences.

3/ Statistically significant differences were found between the tree-view patients and brick wall-view patients on patient length of stay, pain medication use, and nurse notes.

5/ "Brick wall-view patients had more negative nurses notes (3.96 per patient, examples of negative notes--“upset and crying” or “needs much encouragement”; examples of good notes-- “in good spirits” and “moving well”) than tree-view patients (1.13 per patient)." Ulrich, R.S

6/ A perfect example of #OneHealth hospital that would influence patients to recover faster, as it has a ward with a view of trees is @ButaroHospital, Rwanda

Share ur THOUGHTS on this #OneHealthApproach of hospitals having #trees partaking in recovery process!
