Findings from several studies of non-patient groups sug- gest that even brief visual encounters with real or simu- lated natural settings can elicit significant psycho-phy- siologic restoration within as little as 3 - 5 min [6,16-18]. This restoration is manifested as reduced negative effects, and heightened positive effects and changes in physiolo- gic systems that are indicative of reduced arousal or stress mobilization (electrocortical, cardiovascular, neuroendo- crine and musculoskeletal) [17]. Accordingly, Sherman et al. [19] focused on the activities of the users in the hospital, and found that 66% of staff garden usage was in the form of “walk-throughs” from one place to another. Although this activity does not fully exploit the gardens to their full capacity, research such as Kaplan’s [20] on micro-restorative experiences suggests that even these brief encounters may enhance staff’s well-being and job satisfaction, both of which are predictors of patient healthcare satisfaction
