Nature-based interventions (NBIs), which involve structured engagement with natural environments to enhance health and wellbeing, offer a promising approach, particularly in the Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, a region renowned for its Himalayan forests, scenic valleys, and rich biodiversity. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore mental health clinicians\u2019 perceptions of NBIs in community mental health settings. Fourteen clinicians from the Hazara Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling between February and March 2026. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and audio-recorded. Transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke\u2019s framework, supported by HyperRESEARCH software. Results: Participants generally perceived engagement with nature as calming, restorative, and therapeutically beneficial, and many reported informally encouraging clients to participate in nature-related activities. Clinicians expressed willingness to integrate NBIs into routine practice and identified potential benefits including improved mood, relaxation, empowerment, and enhanced social connectedness. However, several barriers were also identified, including client-related factors such as anxiety, low motivation, and skepticism, as well as contextual and organisational constraints such as gender-based limitations in access to natural spaces and safety-related policies. Conclusions: Despite these challenges, clinicians demonstrated strong support for NBIs, suggesting their potential as a feasible adjunct to mental health care in Pakistan. Addressing identified barriers may facilitate integration into routine services and enhance access to holistic mental health support in community settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs16081298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T11:38:54Z","timestamp":1785411534000},"page":"1298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinicians\u2019 Perceptions of Nature-Based Interventions in Mental Health Care: A Qualitative Descriptive Study from Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5364-5238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yumna","family":"Ali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Hazara University, Mansehra 21120, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4415-9657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akihiko","family":"Ozaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Governance Research Institute, Tokyo 108-0074, Japan"},{"name":"Breast and Thyroid Center, Jyoban Hospital of Tokiwa Foundation, Iwaki\u00a0972-8322, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0251-0085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Kotera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"},{"name":"Center for Infectious Disease Education and Research, Osaka University, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Social Sciences, Azerbaijan University, AZ1007 Baku, Azerbaijan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.2174\/1745017902016010017","article-title":"Prevalence and correlates of mental health status among pre-hospital healthcare staff","volume":"16","author":"Abbaspour","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ali, Y., Ozaki, A., and Kotera, Y.
