20 minute break in nature

What if spending 20 minutes a day in nature has a significant impact on chronic stress and burnout symptoms?

A recent study of nurses working in emergency departments, a highly stressful work environment, revealed impressive results. Over 6 weeks, nurses who took their 20-minute breaks in the hospital garden, compared to those who took their breaks indoors, experienced:

• Improved emotional resilience: A significant reduction in emotional exhaustion, a key component of burnout.
• Better mental well-being: Lower depersonalization scores (Maslach Burnout Inventory), indicating better mental health and a stronger connection to work.
• Immediate relief: Immediate psychological benefits and noticeable improvement in overall symptoms during garden breaks.
