    Area of Science:

    • Environmental enrichment
    • Pediatric healthcare
    • Auditory interventions

    Background:

    • Hospital environments can be stressful for children, families, and staff.
    • The need for non-pharmacological interventions to improve well-being in pediatric settings is growing.
    • Nature sounds, like birdsong, are increasingly explored for their therapeutic potential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of introducing recorded birdsong into a children's hospital.
    • To assess the effects on patients, their caregivers, and hospital staff.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and reception of an auditory nature-based intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of recorded birdsong in designated areas of a children's hospital.
    • Data collection through surveys and observational feedback from patients, carers, and staff.

  • Analysis of reported changes in mood, stress levels, and overall atmosphere.

    • Main Results:

    • Positive impact reported by children, carers, and staff.
    • Observed improvements in mood and reduction in perceived stress.
    • General acceptance and positive reception of the birdsong intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Recorded birdsong can be a beneficial addition to the pediatric hospital environment.
