COVID-19疫情影响心理健康。越来越多的研究已经确定了自然接触的心理健康益处，包括园艺。我们使用横断面调查来调查园艺和其他户外活动与美国成年人焦虑之间的关系。RANG（减少对自然和园艺的焦虑）调查于2020年6月至9月通过社交媒体（Twitter和Facebook）和国家园艺大师列表服务器在线发布。调查问题使用广泛性焦虑症7项量表收集人口统计数据、COVID-19经历、园艺、户外活动和焦虑。使用卡方检验、Fisher精确检验和Kruskal-Wallis检验以及逻辑回归分析数据。在参与者中，46%报告了焦虑症状。园艺时间≥ 15年和园艺时间> 8小时超过两周的参与者焦虑评分较低。在工作日花更多的时间在户外也降低了焦虑分数。在调整协变量后，50-69岁和70-89岁的人与18-29岁的人相比，男性与女性相比，德克萨斯州与马里兰州居民相比，焦虑的几率较低。这些发现证实了COVID-19大流行期间焦虑增加，并表明持续的园艺和其他户外活动可能有助于减少焦虑。
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted mental health. Growing research has identified the mental health benefits of nature contact, including gardening. We used a cross-sectional survey to investigate the association between gardening and other outdoor activities with anxiety among U.S. adults. The RANG (Reducing Anxiety with Nature and Gardening) survey was distributed online from June–September 2020 through social media (Twitter and Facebook) and a national Master Gardeners listserv. Survey questions captured demographics, COVID-19 experiences, gardening, outdoor activities, and anxiety using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and Kruskal–Wallis tests, as well as logistic regression. Among participants, 46% reported anxiety symptoms. Participants who had gardened ≥ 15 years and those gardening > 8 h over two weeks had lower anxiety scores. Spending more time outdoors on weekdays also decreased anxiety scores. After adjusting for covariates, lower odds of anxiety were identified for 50–69 and 70–89-year-olds vs. 18–29-year-olds; males vs. females; and Texas vs. Maryland residents. These findings confirm increased anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic and suggest that sustained gardening and other outdoor activities could help reduce anxiety.
