The benefits of this \u201cbiophilic\u201d design philosophy has been investigated predominantly in long-term care or rehabilitation settings; however, some of the most appealing opportunities lie in the acute care setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review surveyed the literature surrounding the influence of exposure to nature on course in acute hospitalizations. After screening 12,979 citations, 41 articles were included. Exposures were divided into seven categories, the most common of which were the presence of a window\/natural light, a natural scene through a window, and nature soundscapes. These articles were reviewed in a narrative fashion and thematic analysis was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies were extremely heterogeneous in their design, research questions, and reported outcomes. Types of exposure to nature studied were exposure to a real natural scene through a window, presence of a window\/nature light, nature in the healthcare environment, art depicting nature, direct contact with nature, nature soundscapes, and nature experienced through virtual reality (VR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exposure to nature during an acute hospital admission appears to have a real but small therapeutic effect, predominantly on psychological metrics like anxiety\/depression, pain, and patient satisfaction. Greater beneficial effects are seen with greater durations of exposure to nature and greater degrees of immersion into nature (e.g., creating multisensory experiences using emerging technology like VR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/19375867231221559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,30]],"date-time":"2024-01-30T04:44:10Z","timestamp":1706589850000},"page":"360-375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["The Influence of Exposure to Nature on Inpatient Hospital Stays: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6482-8024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keegan","family":"Guidolin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flora","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2199-1056","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Englesakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Library and Information Services, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8359-3144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephen","family":"Verderber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Design + Health Innovation, Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"Chadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fayez","family":"Quereshy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00038628.2019.1604313"},{"key":"bibr2-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1937586716665581"},{"key":"bibr3-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10343-016-0377-1"},{"key":"bibr4-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ufug.2020.126713"},{"key":"bibr5-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1937586718806696"},{"key":"bibr6-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.744581"},{"key":"bibr7-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2012.12.042"},{"key":"bibr8-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HNP.0000000000000326"},{"key":"bibr9-19375867231221559","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/jcim-2018-0106"},{"key":"bibr10-19375867231221559","unstructured":"Bauer B.
