In this study, it is intended to prove the effects of garden healing programs by designing and mediating customized garden healing programs using garden healing resources for the psychological improvement of anxiety and depression, mood reduction, and relaxation of blood pressure, pulse stability, and cortisol hormone secretion. A bereavement refers to the experience of losing a meaningful object in which one has a relationship to death. This experience of bereavement with a loving family is the most extreme life event that brings serious stress and requires readjustment throughout all life (Parkes, 1988). In particular, the pain of losing a spouse or an object of great attachment is very acute, and the grief is known to last for many years (Weiss, 1988). In order to alleviate these mourning symptoms, the bereavement care program conducted by hospice, palliative care institutions and nursing hospitals accounted for most of the non-therapeutic interventions (85%) such as letters/postcards, telephone counseling, and memorial meetings, and therapeutic interventions such as personal and collective counseling and music therapy were reported to have gone through about 15%. It is also reported that awareness surveys often show one-off activities and lack of professional staff is insufficient and less satisfying as a bereavement care program (Kim Ji-soo, 2016). Therefore, it is time for the development and mediation of garden healing programs using natural healing resources in outdoor gardens such as nursing hospitals and horticulture activities that meditate plants effective in improving depression, anxiety, and helplessness, which are representative symptoms of bereavement, to be suggested as an alternative to the new care program in accordance with the trend of eco-friendly care programs as part of interest in well-being and various needs for new lifestyles. In response, this study analyzes the characteristics of bereavement, palliative care institutions, nursing hospitals, etc. and the healing resources of outdoor gardens to reduce anxiety and depression, the typical mourning symptoms of the bereavement, psychological improvement of mood conditions, and the physiological improvement of blood pressure, pulse stability, and cortisol hormone secretion, and to plan and mediate a customized garden healing program for the deceased. The experiment was conducted at SungMo Maria Garden of the MH Medical Center in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, and the experimental group was selected as nine experienced personnel at the same hospital, and the method of arbitration was mediated for a total of two and a half hours over a total of 10 sessions for five weeks under the detailed garden healing program by a healer. In the case of control group, nine experienced personnel were also selected from the same medical center and nearby areas, and individual gardeners were individually taken for about 20 minutes over a total of five sessions for five weeks without the progress of a healer. For psychological reaction evaluation, measurement tools of BAI, BDI for depression, and POMS for mood condition scale were used, OMRON electronic blood pressure gauges were used for blood pressure and pulse measurement for physiological response evaluation, and for cortisol measurement, they were collected on saliva sampling tubes, frozen, and analyzed by a hormone analysis agency. Through this study, we could confirm that the garden healing program has statistically significant effects on the improvement of anxiety, depression and lethargy, which are typical mourning symptoms of the bereavement, and the results derived from each study are as follows. First, the results of the garden healing program arbitration and the verification of the effects of anxiety, depression relief and mood improvement were examined by the BAI, BDI, and POMS test papers to confirm the responses before and after the arbitration, confirming that the post-test mean was statistically significantly lower than the pre-test mean. These results show that the garden healing program by a healer has been proven to be efficient in psychological improvement of depression, anxiety, and lethargy, which are typical symptoms of mourning for the deceased. Second, the arbitration of the garden healing program and the verification of the effects of blood pressure, stability of pulse, and degradation of cortisol were measured by OMRON's electronic blood pressure system for confirmation of responses before and after arbitration, and the analysis was requested by a specialized analysis agency to measure cortisol, confirming that the post-test average was statistically significantly lower than the pre-test average. These results show that the garden healing program by the healer is an efficient healing program due to psychological instability such as depression, anxiety, and lethargy, which are typical symptoms of mourning for the deceased, instability of the pulse, and improvement of the imbalance of cortisol hormones. Third, the results of independent sample t-test with TMD scores of BAI, BDI, and POMS showed that the average of garden healing programs was low in all areas of anxiety, depression, and mood. These results mean that the improvement of the garden healing program far exceeds that of the individual gardening program, so the garden healing program is recommended as a way to ease mourning symptoms for the deceased and to actively mediate healing as a care program. Fourth, there were no statistically significant differences in constrictive blood pressure, relaxation blood pressure, pulse, and cortisol levels in the garden healing program and in the verification of cortisol's improvement effect (p>.05) before and after the experiment in the garden healing program and in the mitosis of cortisol. In other words, it is difficult to say that the mediation of the gardening program has an advantage in improving physiology over the individual walking, as the physiological improvement effect of the gardening program is quite high, but personal improvement is also shown to have some physiological improvement effect. In the end, the garden healing program by the healer's guide has considerable physiological improvement, but regular personal gardening measures can also be considered to have physiological improvement in certain areas. Fifth, the satisfaction level of the gardening program (M=4.77±0.33) was much higher than that of the individual garden book (M=2.43±0.32) in the arbitration of the gardening program and the verification of the satisfaction level of the individual gardening program (t=15.249, p<).001). These results have been confirmed that participants are much more satisfied with the garden healing program by the healer. If the garden healing program is implemented at hospices, palliative care institutions, and nursing hospitals, the number of participants will increase. Sixth, in the comparative verification of psychological improvement and physiological improvement advantage of garden healing program, the psychological improvement effect of garden healing program showed an improvement rate of 85% overall average of anxiety, depression and mood condition, and the physiological improvement showed an improvement rate of 21% overall average of systolic blood pressure, pulse and cortisol. Given these results, it is believed that the garden healing program by the healer can expect greater psychological improvement than physiological improvement. As can be seen from the above verification results, the garden healing program has been proven to have significant effects on psychological improvement of anxiety, depression relief and mood improvement, blood pressure, pulse stability, and low physiological improvement of cortisol, and the psychological and psychological improvement advantages of the garden healing program and personal gardening book, and satisfaction has also shown an advantage of more than twice as much in satisfaction. Meanwhile, it has been found that just being exposed to the garden healing environment on a regular basis, such as individual garden walks, has a limited psychological and physiological effect. Based on these findings, the garden healing program is considered suitable as an alternative care program for the alleviation of mourning symptoms and improvement of psychological and physiological pain of the deceased, such as hospice, palliative care institutions and nursing hospitals. In addition, it is thought to have a great effect on stress relief, health promotion, and disease prevention programs for the general visitors, the sick and the members of the facility.
