More hospitals using healing power of nature after research finds, among other things, that patients with bedside windows looking out on trees healed, on average, a day quicker, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management.
They also required less pain medication and had fewer postsurgical complications versus those who looked out at a brick wall.
According to Clare Cooper Marcus, professor emerita of architecture and landscape architecture and environmental planning at the University of California, Berkeley, nature can also bring down stress levels.
Cincinnati's Christ Hospital’s Joint & Spine Center, for instance, encourages patients to spend time outdoors during their recovery.
