China66 participantsStarted 2026-02
Plain-language summary
Non-suicidal self-harm is a serious issue. Adolescents with depression are among the high-risk groups for non-suicidal self-harm behavior. Therapeutic gardening uses plant cultivation and corresponding gardening activities as the medium of action, allowing patients to obtain therapeutic benefits by participating in gardening activities such as planting, maintaining, and harvesting plants. Therefore, this study will apply therapeutic gardening based on the healing system to adolescents with depression who have non-suicidal self-harm behavior, in order to improve their non-suicidal self-harm behavior, negative emotions, emotional expression disorders, self-efficacy, sleep quality, and loneliness.
