DISORDERS
The participants completed seven self-rated psychological distress and well-being measures. Pre-test was conducted before the gardening program had begun (at baseline) and post-test was conducted after the final session (at the end of the program). In the gardening group, depression, anxiety, daily activities, and life satisfaction were assessed three times to examine the change trends (at baseline, in the middle of the program, and at the end of the program). Therapeutic alliances were assessed twice, at mid- and post-intervention, in the gardening group. Sociodemographic information such as gender, age, employment, marital status, education, and the presence of mental disorders was collected at baseline.
