The Effect of Horticultural Therapy on Mental Health and Burnout Levels of Nursing Home Workers

The incidence of people with disabilities in need of care services is increasing all over the world. This situation significantly increases the need for nursing homes and caregivers. In many countries, it is seen that "Horticultural Therapy" programs have started to be implemented to improve mental health. In this context, our aim in the project is to determine the effect of the "Horticultural therapy" program applied to nursing home employees in terms of mental health and burnout in nursing home employees. It is thought that the positive effect of this practice on nursing home employees will be able to better maintain their care-oriented practices. It is envisaged that the gardens to be built within the scope of the therapy program can be planned as areas where both caregivers and caregivers can be used, and the application can be integrated into other areas within the scope of public health over time
