The measures used were the \u2018Subjective Happiness Scale\u2019 (SHS) and the \u2018Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults\u2019 (SELSA-S), along with sociodemographic and clinical data. The study design was descriptive, observational and cross-sectional. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Scores obtained from the SHS and SELSA-S were generally similar for both groups, although 40% of clients in the TH group perceived relaxation. These are in agreement with previous studies performed with chronic schizophrenia clients reporting that TH might effectively decrease depression\/anxiety symptoms, but the feeling of hopelessness and quality of life did not change, probably due to long-term institutionalization and required medication that may limit other effects. Within the TH group, clients preferred specific horticultural tasks and more days\/week attending activities decreased loneliness and increased happiness. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> TH interventions as an integrative treatment option merits further study on both process and outcome evaluation, to maximize its effectiveness.
