Abstract

Forest bathing is an approach that uses the healing effects of forests to improve people's health and prevent disease through forest walks. Although the terms forest therapy and forest bath are used in the same sense, they are different applications. While the forest therapy application is carried out in the company of a professional trained in this subject, the therapist in the forest bath is the forest itself. Considering the positive effects of forest bathing on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, immune system and mental health, it is thought that it can be used as an approach to protect and improve women's health. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the physiological and psychological effects of forest bathing and forest therapy on women's health. In this study, which was revealed by literature review, the results of national and international studies on the subject were compiled. Many positive effects of forest bathing and forest therapy on the protection of human health have been reported in the literature. There are limited studies on the effects of forest therapy and forest bathing on human health, and no scientific research has been found in the field of health in our country. It is thought that these practices can be used in our country, which is rich in forests, and that scientific studies on this subject can provide benefits for women's health.

Özet

Orman banyosu, orman yürüyüşleri yoluyla insanların sağlığını geliştirmek ve hastalıkları önlemek için ormanların iyileştirici etkilerini kullanan bir yaklaşımdır. Orman terapisi ve orman banyosu terimleri aynı anlamlarda kullanılmakla birlikte farkı uygulama şekilleridir. Orman terapisi uygulaması bu konuda eğitim almış profesyonel kişi eşliğinde yapılırken orman banyosunda terapist ormanın kendisidir. Orman banyosunun kardiyovasküler sistem, sinir sistemi, endokrin sistem, bağışıklık sistemi ve ruh sağlığı üzerindeki olumlu etkilerine bakıldığında kadın sağlığının korunması ve iyileştirilmesinde bir yaklaşım olarak kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı orman banyosu ve orman terapisinin kadın sağlığı üzerindeki fizyolojik ve psikolojik etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Literatür taraması yapılarak ortaya konan bu çalışmada, konu üzerine yapılan ulusal ve uluslararası çalışmaların sonuçları derlenmiştir. Literatürde insan sağlığının korunmasında orman banyosu ve orman terapisinin pek çok olumlu etkisi bildirilmiştir. Orman terapisi ve orman banyosunun insan sağlığına etkileri konusunda sınırlı sayıda araştırma mevcut olup, ülkemizde bu konuda sağlık alanında bilimsel bir araştırmaya rastlanmamıştır. Ormanlar açısından zengin olan ülkemizde bu uygulamaların kullanılabileceği ve bu konuda bilimsel çalışmalar yapılmasının kadın sağlığına faydalar sağlayabileceği ön görülmektedir.
