Background: Research on the importance of healthcare settings for well-being and therapeutic use ... more Background: Research on the importance of healthcare settings for well-being and therapeutic use of nature is growing and has shown promising results. Children may experience hospital surroundings as scary and this can influence therapy and treatment. To support the children’s ability to make use of therapy the best possible way is important for therapeutic outcome. Through facilitating of the physical environment and targeted use of nature and architecture in therapy, other therapeutic possibilities and psychological material is accessed more easily than in traditional therapy settings.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper has been to investigate how therapists experience therapy at the Outdoor Care Retreat at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet may influence severely and chronically ill children. The focus is how other therapy settings than traditional therapeutic spaces may impact the therapy and the outcome of it.
Method: A case study design was used with five qualitative interviews with therapists that are currently using the Outdoor Care Retreat. An interpretative phenomenological analysis categorized features of the environment into three main themes on how the therapists perceived the Outdoor Care Retreat influence on therapy with children.
Results: The results suggest that facilitated and thoughtful health care settings and use of nature in therapy is consider an important contribution to therapy in traditional clinical settings. Findings from the analysis were that the Outdoor Care Retreat influenced: 1) Therapeutic relation: On the areas equality, wholeness, creativity, presence. 2) Child influences: On the areas emotional regulation, stress reduction, vitality, mastering. 3) Affordances/what the surroundings may offer: On the areas activities, external focus, sensation, family participation, symbolism.
Conclusion: Use of nature and natural materials influenced the therapists in their opinion to be more creative and vital, the children became more relaxed and freer, and the surroundings facilitated other types of activity and conversations than usual in a hospital room. Therefore more strategically use of nature and natural materials may be important for good achievement in therapy with children.
