Problem statement: Based on recent reports, students in the current era are experiencing psychological disorders at unprecedented levels. Concurrently, natural university campuses positively influence the students’ psychological Components. This study aims to synthesize previous research and quantitatively estimate the magnitude of this effect.
Research objective: This study aims to determine the extent to which natural university campuses influence psychological Components among students by reviewing prior research and conducting a meta-analysis.
Research method: This study examined research conducted between the years 2000 and 2023 by searching four databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PsycInfo, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria for studies in this meta-analysis were publication in English, implementation of short-term interventions, use of experimental or quasi-experimental methods, application of standardized cognitive assessment tools, availability of appropriate statistical data for meta-analysis, and publication in reputable journals. After all researchers independently screened the studies, out of the 8,010 identified articles, 34 studies were initially selected in the first stage. Subsequently, 10 studies were excluded due to not meeting the meta-analysis criteria, and 24 were selected for final review. The process of preparing the meta-analysis report was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines (2020 version).
Conclusion: The exploration of previous studies led to the identification of 18 psychological Components among students. Fifteen Components—including anxiety, stress recovery, self-esteem, restorativeness, relaxation, negative/ positive health effects, mental health, perceived recovery, psychological well-being, reflection, attention recovery, energetic, clear thought, total mood disturbance, and good-natured— were significantly influenced by the natural campuses of the university. Two Components, depression, and positive/negative feelings, showed moderate influence, while happiness exhibited minimal influence. Overall, the natural campuses of universities had a substantial impact on students’ psychological Components (Cohen’s index = 0.759). Additionally, the studies included in the research did not show any publication bias. |
