A NEW WAY OF EXPERIENCING HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS<\/span><\/h3>\n
Today, healthcare environments are called upon to care not only for illness, but also for the quality of the experience lived by patients, families and healthcare professionals.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Nature represents one of the most studied non-pharmacological resources for supporting stress reduction, anxiety relief and the recovery of personal resources.<\/span><\/h6>\n

BIOPHILIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY<\/h3>\n

Over recent decades, numerous studies have shown how the characteristics of environments significantly influence people\u2019s experiences in healthcare and care settings.<\/p>\n

The presence of natural elements is associated with reduced stress and anxiety, lower pain perception, and more favourable conditions for attention, relationships and well-being, including for physicians, healthcare professionals and caregivers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These findings are part of a broader field of research developed over recent decades, from Roger Ulrich\u2019s studies on Stress Recovery Theory<\/strong><\/a><\/em> to Stephen and Rachel Kaplan\u2019s work on Attention Restoration Theory<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Within this framework, nature videos have emerged as a non-pharmacological support in different healthcare and rehabilitation contexts, contributing to emotional regulation and to the overall quality of a person\u2019s experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11851″ img_size=”1510X1080″ alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”72px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

WHEN NATURE BECOMES PART OF CARE<\/span><\/h4>\n

Every care pathway has specific needs. Alamar Life supports different contexts with experiences of Nature designed around people\u2019s characteristics and the objectives of each activity.<\/p>\n

DEMENTIA AND COGNITIVE FRAILTY<\/h3>\n

In contexts of cognitive decline, the quality of the environment can influence emotional states and the perception of the present moment.<\/p>\n

Natural scenes offer a stable, recognisable and non-invasive experience that can support calm, orientation and a reduction in agitation, while also helping maintain remaining abilities and emotional well-being.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_btn title=”LEARN MORE” color=”success” link=”url:%23DEMENZE”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8230″ img_size=”700×470″ style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8463″ img_size=”700×500″ style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text el_class=”margin_par”]<\/p>\n

ADDICTIONS AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION<\/h3>\n

During recovery from addiction, regaining balance and emotional regulation abilities represents an important part of the therapeutic process.<\/p>\n

Viewing natural sequences can support greater emotional stability, helping strengthen self-regulation skills.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_btn title=”LEARN MORE” color=”success” link=”url:%23recupero-dipendenze”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” rtl_reverse=”yes” el_class=”swap-on-mobile”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text el_class=”margin_par”]<\/p>\n

PHYSICAL AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION<\/h3>\n

In rehabilitation pathways, the environment can influence motivation, attention and continuity throughout the therapeutic experience.<\/p>\n

Natural images create a perceptual setting that can support recovery, encouraging presence, attention and participation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_btn title=”LEARN MORE” color=”success” link=”url:%23riabilitazione”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7946″ img_size=”700×450″ style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8845″ img_size=”700×450″ style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text el_class=”margin_par”]<\/p>\n

Nature Supporting Those Who Care<\/h3>\n

Beyond supporting the well-being of people receiving care, Alamar Life also accompanies the daily work of physicians, nurses, healthcare assistants, therapists and educators.<\/p>\n

The presence of Nature contributes to creating a calmer atmosphere and supports relationships with residents, offering a shared reference point during everyday activities and more delicate moments, such as assisted personal care.<\/p>\n

An environment perceived as more harmonious also positively influences families and visitors, helping improve the overall quality of the experience within the facility.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”62px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

EMOTIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cI find watching these images very beautiful\u2026 I really like it<\/strong>, it\u2019s very relaxing. I love the fact that when I look away and then look back at the screen, there is a new and wonderful image\u2026 it\u2019s always a surprise<\/strong>. A flower whose fragrance I almost feel I can smell. I always admire it, because it\u2019s something that speaks to you<\/strong>. I get goosebumps just saying it.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cWith the experience of the nature videos, we have felt not only memories, but also emotions. Emotions remain until our last breath.<\/strong> Sharing these moments with them also stirs emotions in us as caregivers, emotions we can carry home as an emotional resource to draw on during the more difficult moments of our work.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cWe cannot take them to the mountains, but we can bring the mountains into the facility<\/strong> and make them feel at home again. This is the great power we have: we give them their lives back. \u2026 It is truly a therapeutic tool, pure therapy for the soul and the heart<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cEmotions and feelings of wonder and beauty. The environment becomes calm and welcoming. The first result was a reduction in what are known as \u2018behavioral disturbances\u2019.<\/strong> Some of them also experienced physical improvements. Last but not least, the sense of beauty<\/strong> that these images of nature have brought to the setting. The scenes being projected are truly beautiful, never the same, and they also create, from an aesthetic perspective, a pleasant environment to be in<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

MEMORIES<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cRomeo had not spoken for two years<\/strong> and no longer expressed any emotions. One day, I played the video of the sea and, all of a sudden, we heard him say, \u2018Ah, the sea!\u2019 He began telling us how he had asked his wife to marry him, kneeling on the beach. They later got married and returned there for their honeymoon. And he told us about his honeymoon.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cI never would have believed that I would relive that journey, I never could have imagined it.\u201d She relived the honeymoon she had taken with her husband<\/strong>, and that is why she was so moved, because that moment had been so beautiful for her. These testimonies show you what people experience when we use a tool that creates therapeutic beauty<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cWithin no more than three minutes<\/strong>, A. slowly stops crying, her face relaxes, and her mood changes completely, from distressed to carefree. The videos truly seem to be an excellent tool for allowing these people to bring their most cherished memories back to the surface<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

MEMORIES<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cIn a state of calm, while looking at a forest, a flower, or other images, memories began to resurface<\/strong>. Some people would start singing, or remember a nursery rhyme. A group of relatives had formed who would get the residents to sing after dinner in the evening, in front of the images. A sense of tranquillity had developed that made conversation possible.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

SHARED EXPERIENCES<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cOften, moments of sharing arise around reminiscences, stories of their experiences, or memories. Many, through emotion and sighs<\/strong>, are able to make us understand the inner depth<\/strong> that these videos allow us to reach.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

SHARED EXPERIENCES<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cThe storytelling methodology combined with nature video stimulation evokes, activates, and conveys emotions<\/strong>. The conversational dimension intensifies within the group. The dimension of memory is activated<\/strong> by the natural setting<\/strong>, but from there it merely passes through, leading to deeply personal sensations and EMOTIONS<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

\u201cReading the stories we have created again makes us realize the richness of this approach<\/strong>, which does not end with the storytelling itself but continues on the written page.

Ilaria Sardo<\/div>
Psychotherapist, Director, Residenza Paradiso di Gattinara (VC), Italy<\/div>
OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cUsing Alamar Life at our Residence has significantly helped both residents and caregivers<\/strong> experience personal care as a moment of well-being and relaxation. Bathing has thus become an opportunity to reminisce, strengthening trust and compliance with the caregiver. We have also observed a significant reduction in behavioral disturbances<\/strong> and greater engagement and cooperation<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cMany goals were achieved<\/strong>: one resident went from a condition of social isolation and apathy to rediscovering her independence, establishing a weekly routine connected to the activity, increasing her self-esteem, and improving her manual skills over the months.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cThe interesting observation \u2014 and one that I think would be worth investigating through a more detailed study \u2014 is that the videos introduced an important cognitive and attentional stimulus<\/strong> following a period of relaxation, while maintaining a sense of calm and tranquillity<\/strong> throughout the session.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cWe had two residents who no longer wanted to eat. They would say, \u2018I don\u2019t want to live anymore, so I\u2019m not going to eat.\u2019 We played the video of the fruit, or the one showing the vegetable garden, and in the end they started eating independently<\/strong>, on their own.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cCare staff have also found their work easier. The Relax Channel projections help set the pace of care<\/strong>, which is slow and gentle.
This slowing down can be perceived in so many everyday actions: you see more, you listen more, you feel more\u2026<\/strong> perhaps this is the most significant change that the tool has brought about.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

OBSERVATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cI believe our televisions should remain switched off, and that there should be thoughtful guidance in offering images designed around these people\u2019s biographies<\/strong>. We let the video play, and it brings us back to a sense of peace as well. Two or three armchairs, the video playing, and you have created an environmental pause<\/strong> that allows a person to sit down, rest, and then carry on. Today, we can choose solutions that have a very low economic impact and a very high impact on quality of life.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/a><\/div>

Reminiscence brings serenity and well-being and has an emotional and relational function, as well as a cognitive one: through the recovery of memories, a person can once again perceive a sense of continuity in time and feel reassured. Reducing anxiety, in turn, frees and improves all other cognitive functions.\u201d<\/p>\n
