The experiences and perspectives of participating in a nature integrative rehabilitation programme when suffering from post-concussion syndrome: responses, gains, and impact from using enriched nature environments as a rehabilitation setting and integrating nature as rehabilitation means
This study aims to understand the perspectives of individuals participating in a nature integrative rehabilitation (NIR) programme for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) in Denmark. The focus is on benefits, challenges, and impact of using enriched natural environments in rehabilitation.
A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 23 participants who completed a 10-week NIR programme in a therapy garden. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and patterns in participants' experiences.
Participants reported enhanced emotional and sensory engagement with natural environments, leading to decreased PCS symptoms. The structured nature integrative activities promoted present-moment awareness, relaxation, and physical activity, which were valued by the participants. The facilitators' ability to adapt activities to individual needs was crucial to the perceived benefit of the programme. Group settings provided social support, reducing feelings of isolation.
NIR supports individuals with PCS by enhancing emotional well-being, reducing symptoms, and providing coping strategies. Alongside social support, the flexibility of the activities, allowing individuals to engage according to their symptoms and capabilities, is critical for rehabilitative outcomes. Future research should explore long-term effects and refine intervention protocols for implementation in the healthcare system to ensure the efficacy of NIR for people with PCS.

Are cultural ecosystem services expressed in school songs associated with nature-related educational activities?
Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are increasingly recognized not only for their symbolic and experiential values but also for their potential to shape human behavior. Song lyrics incorporate natural motifs; however, these references are often generic and not tied to specific places, raising questions about their ability to foster place-based attachment or local engagement with the ecosystems. School songs are institutionally embedded and repeatedly performed within defined communities, which could be making them reinforce local ecological identity. This study examined whether ecological terms in school songs are associated with nature-related education activities. We focused on public elementary and junior high schools in Hachioji City, Tokyo, where Mt. Takao represents a dominant natural landmark. The lyrics of school songs were collected, and keywords related to mountains were extracted. Information on nature-related educational activities was obtained through a questionnaire survey of schools, with valid responses from 63 schools. A statistical test was conducted to determine whether schools with mountain-related terms in their songs were more likely to conduct nature-related educational activities. Results indicated that schools whose songs contained mountain-related terms had educational programs using local green spaces more often than those without such terms. This finding suggests that cultural representations embedded in school traditions may influence educational practices. Our study suggested that CES expressed through place-specific song lyrics can mediate concrete human-nature interactions.
