About

Randomized clinical trial about the evaluation of the use of nature photographs in the positive and negative affects of oncological patients.

Full description

In recent decades there has been growing interest from researchers in understanding how the adoption of natural elements in daily life, even in hospitals, can characterize restorative environments and reflect in better health for patients. Contact with nature can be done indirectly through photographs. This clinical trial aims to verify the therapeutic potential of the nature images, previously validated in another part of this study, in the care of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Anchored on the assumptions of the theory of Biophilia, and the environmental theory of Florence Nightingale our study hypothesis is that this intervention promotes well-being and promote more positive mood states, and reduce symptoms resulting from the treatment during chemotherapy session.
