Since a free-learning semester has been introduced to middle school curriculum, interest in career experience programs has increased. To respond to this new demand, we developed a continuous agriculture-related career experience program linked with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, and we examined the program’s effects on the job awareness of middle school students. The program was conducted from April 8, 2015 to June 24, 2015, and consisted of 12 classes. The direct experience subprogram was based on 13 different horticultural activities that reflect producing (nine programs), cooking (two programs), and sales (two programs) of horticultural produces. For the indirect experience subprogram, we preliminarily selected 10 representative agricultural jobs, and based on the keywords analyzed from 7 direct experience programs, we chose to introduce seven jobs to the students by videos and the three others by written material. We then investigated the effect of introductory videos on job interest, understanding, and preference by the students. We found that the student’s interest, understanding, and preference regarding each job were significantly improved when direct experience and video watching were combined. Career awareness was improved for gardener (47.0%), nursery grower (42.0%), rural extension official (31.1%), eco-friendly farm material developer (30.9%), agricultural research official (23.4%), plant doctor (19.8%), and agricultural wholesale distribution experts (9.3%). Conclusively, it is expected that career experience programs have the greatest effect on students when both interest in the job and participation on direct experiences are encouraged.

This study was conducted to apply a horticultural therapy program to childhood cancer patients, to analyze their psychosocial changes and thus to examine its possibility as a way to manage the recovery of childhood cancer patients. This study was conducted on patients who were diagnosed with childhood cancer, and they were divided into the experimental group (8 patients who visited H association offices located in 3 cities and participated in the horticultural program) and the control group (5 patients who did not participate in the program). The homogeneity between the two groups before conducting the program was compared, and there was no statistically significant difference, which proved that the two groups were homogeneous. After conducting the program, the score of social immaturity, one of the sub-categories of problem behaviors, of the experimental group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group (p=.019). Changes before and after the program within the groups were compared, and the somatization score (p=.039) of the experimental group (p=.039) after the program was 1.13, down from 2.13 before the program. The social immaturity score (p=.017) of the experimental group after the program was 1.00, down from 2.63 before the program, and the attention problem score (p=.026) of the group after the program was 1.25, down from 2.50 before the program. The total problem behavior score (p=.034) of the experimental group after the program was 9.63, down from 18.50 before the program, showing a statistically significant decrease. The cumulative subjective mood score (p=.000) of the experimental group throughout the entire sessions after the program was 7.82, up from 6.99 before the program, showing a statistically significant increase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the horticultural therapy program developed based on the ‘relaxationsocial support-cognitive behavior’ strategy was effective to reduce the negative psychosocial state of childhood cancer patients.

This study was conducted to investigate the change of workers physiology and sensitivity according to the plant decoration activity using electroencephalographic (EEG), electrocardiogram, and semantic differential (SD) methods on 31 male and female workers in their twenties. Plant decoration activity and writing documents on a computer (WDOC) were carried out for 10 minutes each. The relative slow alpha power spectrum (RSA) has been highly exhibited at most measurement points at plant decoration activity compared to WDOC, and ratio of alpha to high beta spectrum (RAHB) was higher in the parietal lobe responsible for visual function in charge of visual function and showed stable and relaxed effect with little stress or tension. In addition, the relatively fast alpha power spectrum (RFA), which is responsible for visual function, after WDOC was higher than after plant decoration activity in the left parietal lobe (P <.05). Although not statistically significant, the relative high beta power spectrum (RHB) and the ratio of mid beta to theta (RMT), which are stress concentration indexes with tension, were highly regarded as a whole when performing WDOC. There was little difference in heart rate between after both activities. However, high frequency (HF) component indicating parasympathetic nervous system activity was more highly active after WDOC than Planting decoration activity, and the low frequency (LF) component indicating sympathetic nervous system activity tended to be lower after WDOC than after planting activity meaning that plant activity have a sense of stability than WDOC and these results were similar to brain wave analysis. In addition, the sense of comfort, naturalness, calm were significantly higher when the plant decoration activity was performed than when the WDOC was performed in the SD emotional vocabulary survey. These results could be interpreted that plant decoration activity induced more physiologically and psychologically stability and relaxation than WDOC, and enhanced attention ability in appropriate awakening state.

The objective of this study was to investigate the current situations of farms in South Korea which provide care farming activities in order to develop and settle care farms. A questionnaire that includes 60 questions about resources, clients, management, background of establishment, budget, manpower, organization, etc. was developed by the researchers. The survey was conducted by email and phone interview in the period of July to August, 2016. Five farms were participated in this study. As the results, each farm had a different size of land, about 744 – 39,670 m2. The farms were classified by different types of farming activities such as cultivating horticultural crops or cultivating horticultural crops and raising animals. The background of farmers was health, special education, social welfare or professional farmer. The income sources were from care farming programs, educational program, and crop production. The participants in the care farm were children with or without disability, adolescents, adolescents with behavior problem, adults, adults with mental disability or developmental disability, mental illness, dementia, addict, etc. The major activities in care farms were plant cultivating, harvesting, garden maintenance, cooking by using harvest, crop processing, waling in the farm, caring for animals, dealing with farm work equipment, and farming activity with local residents, etc. The participation duration was 25% for one-day experience, less than two weeks in a week, and more than six months, respectively. To settle and develop care farming of South Korea, the concept, clients, operation, professional manpower, policy, support, etc. should be established.

This study was taken place to find out the psychological change with comparing before and after the experience of installation of indoor garden with 55 of subjects out of 62 subjects. More than 50% of subject answered that the garden management would be difficult before they experience the installation but the pressure was decreased while the interest of plants and landscape increased, however, the burden of management decreased and the interest in the kinds of plants and landscape design tended to increase after the experience of the installation. The psychological effect of indoor garden of workers was significantly increased with the question of “Indoor garden improves effect of air cleaning.” after the experience of installation and the loyalty was statistically increased with the question of “Intend to invest more fund to purchase indoor plant” (p <.05). As a result of the comparison of two psychological indicators, the recovery index of the state according to experience of indoor gardening was significantly higher after experiencing the indoor garden than before the indoor gardening experience. As the result of sensibility evaluation of pleasant, natural and calm with semantic differential method, workers feel more of them with the indoor garden. In addition, the loyalty was statistically significantly higher in the question “I would be willing to invest more in plant purchase” after experiencing the composition indoor garden (p <.05). This result is similar to the result that the resident’s recovery index, pleasantness, calm feeling, and emotional index are higher the indoor garden in public resting area with indoor garden than without indoor garden. With this study, the perception of indoor garden changed as a result of the worker’s experience of indoor gardening in the workplace and the view of the indoor garden created by the workers. As the psychological healing effect of indoor garden increased, increase in the cost investment for the emotional health promotion of the workers is expected to have a positive effect on the increase of the indoor garden.

This study was conducted to analyze the muscle activity in the right forearm and shoulderwhile doing the sowing activity by muscle type and work section, and to find the possibility of the utilization of sowing as a muscle exercise and rehabilitative activity based on the results of the analysis. The results showed that the activity of 7 muscles including the upper trapezius near the neck, the upper trapezius near the shoulder, the middle deltoid, the biceps brachii, the triceps brachii, the brachioradialis, and the flexor carpi ulnaris were significantly higher than the stable state. In addition, the muscle activity in the sections of mixing the soil, filling the tray with the soil, sowing, writing the label, and watering was significantly higher than the stable state. In particular, the muscle activity of the biceps brachii and the triceps brachii was statistically significantly high in the section of filling the tray with the soil, which indicates that the task of filling the tray with the soil can be utilized as an exercise to activate the biceps brachii and the triceps brachii. In addition, the muscle activity of the brachioradialis was significantly high in all the work sections, which indicates that the sowing process can be utilized to exercise the brachioradialis in particular. These results can be used as the basic data about the activated muscle types and degrees throughout the sowing process. These results can be also used to induce the activation of specific muscles, and the overall exercise and rehabilitation of the forearms.

This study was focused on the relationship between horticultural preference and parenting attitude of parents having elementary school students. Because a human’s preference of plant was inhered an image of one’s life. This study carried out to define the variables related to horticultural preference and parenting attitude, for promotion in horticultural activity program of parent. For this study, the data was collected from 193 parents having elementary school child from May to July, 2015 at Seoul, and Jeonju city. The major variables related to parenting attitude were grade of children, dialogue hour with their children, understanding of their children, intimate, number of breakfast, occupation, family income, growing activity. And the relationship between parenting attitude and horticultural preference were marked statistical difference at plant classification into need a supporting stick, foodstuff, life time of plant, individual or community growth, cook and industrial arts or ornamental plants. Especially it was concerned in achievement, rationality, affection of parenting attitude.

It was conducted to provide a basis for the development of healing programs utilizing the existing infrastructure of the rural education farm in the process of looking for early application plan of ‘Agro-healing’. The purpose of operating the farm was in order production･ process･sales and education, and then, healing. The production･process･sales was the highest (p=0.000). All farms have had signs or bulletin board, parking. Gender-separated toilets, and basin was held 90% or more. The farm which was held cultivation facilities for disabled in wheelchair was found to be 9.6%. Regular employee was minimum 1 people including owner up to 10 people, an average of 3.7 people were working, a welfare horticultural therapist is the highest as a retain qualification. The purpose of operating program in the farm was education, it was the highest. The most utilizing resources were agricultural work for operation the programs (p=0.000). The program was developed by owner themselves in the most of farms. Regular employment was found to be 6.7%. The age of participant was in order elementary schoolchild and then toddlers. Group form of visiting was school unit or work unit mostly. Target who needed help appeared to alcohol drug addicts and then handicapped, the number of people of participating at the same time was minimum 10 to 100 people. 79% of respondents had the intend of introducing healing program and transition to healing farm. Subject who respondents wanted to access for the next healing program was elementary schoolchild. Number of participants which respondents wanted as a group was 15. Most general people wanted the emotional experience which stimulated the emotion and mood such as positive emotions, joy, and pride. If we introduce the program for healing utilizing the infrastructure of the rural education farm, it might contribute to explore new spaces for creative agriculture and the early settlement of ‘Agro-healing’.

This study was conducted to understand the public recognition about the concepts and literary definition ‘curing, healing’ as a reporter for basic research to be able to use the meaning of the terms and terminology related to ‘agro-healing’. The public was aware that ‘curing’ and ‘healing’ are different, ‘healing’ is natural compared to ‘curing’, ‘do’ is for ‘curing’, ‘become’ is for ‘healing’. This is interpreted as ‘curing’ is active, ‘healing’ is ‘passive’ and natural processes manually. And also, ‘healing’ is required for those who do not have a problem and was recognized as priority access to psychological and social purposes. ‘Healing’ has the means to cure the sick and disease, and the target of ‘sick, disease’ include abstract and mental. It equals to literary definition. Based on these results, in order to promote the ‘agro-healing’ in Korea, it will have to go to find the direction focused on the psychological and social purpose to highlight the differences between the results obtained with the medical approach. This study looked at with meaning and usage of english vocabulary. The area which is discussed as ‘agro-healing’ in Korea is expressed as green care’, ‘care farming’, ‘green care farming’, ‘social farming’, etc. in Europe. There are presented translation of the term differently for each scholar, Rural Development Administration has proposed as ‘agro-healing’ in final. How to use the english vocabulary may not be considered, but to develop the ‘agro-healing’ as science, brand name and industry internationally, which english brand name will be used should also be important. When we saw the meaning of many english vocabulary, including usage and discussion, the word ‘healing’ which means the healing in humans is considered the best goal-oriented and well known term that reflects the current social trends. when combined ‘agri’ which means the ‘land’ comes from the Latin word as a expression that encompasses rural resources with ‘healing’, ‘agro-healing’, it could be used as english name which has comprehensive meaning that is healing and rural resource utilization through agriculture.

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of indoor horticultural therapy program based on ‘relaxation - cognitive behavior - social support’ strategy on quality of life, stress and serotonin of woman cancer patients. Subjects were 18 female cancer patients. Experimental group of 9 members received a horticultural therapy program and control group of 9 members did not receive a horticultural therapy program. The horticultural therapy program was conducted, for 90 minutes per session, once a week, total 8 times. And this study was performed from 9. Nov. to 28. Dec. in 2015. As a results, horticultural therapy program made significant improvement in emotional condition among sub-category of quality of life, nervousness, depression and frustration among sub-category of stress. Also the program decreased the total stress score with significant increased level of serotonin comparing to control group. This result means that depression mood in cancer patients was improved. In summary, horticultural therapy program focused on indoor activities based on ‘Relaxation-social support-cognitive behavioral’ strategy could be utilized as supporting program for psychological health for cancer survivors.
