University students frequently experience high levels of stress, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other mental health challenges. There is growing evidence that university campus landscapes may offer tangible benefits for mental health and overall well-being but to date this has not been brought together and synthesised. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the existing body of research on how and to what extent university campus landscapes can impact student mental health is needed. A scoping review of relevant studies was carried out with the aim of highlighting any gaps in knowledge and to offer recommendations for potential future research directions. The review was based on the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. Through a database search, 54 studies were identified as eligible for inclusion in the review, following several consecutive screening stages. We observed a considerable diversity in exposure data, study designs, outcome measures, landscape types and characteristics. Over 96 % of the included studies indicated a positive relationship between different aspects of university campus landscapes and student mental health while only two studies reported no association. The review uncovered gaps in the current evidence base regarding the effect of campus blue spaces and landscape design characteristics on student mental health. Furthermore, associations with some mental health conditions like schizophrenia, emotional and attentional problems, and eating disorders have not been investigated to date. The findings identify a need for additional studies addressing these specific aspects.

大学蓝色和绿色空间如何影响学生的心理健康：范围界定审查


大学生经常经历高水平的压力、抑郁、焦虑和各种其他心理健康挑战。越来越多的证据表明，大学校园景观可能为心理健康和整体福祉带来切实的好处，但迄今为止，这些好处尚未汇总和综合。因此，需要对现有的关于大学校园景观如何以及在多大程度上影响学生心理健康的研究进行彻底分析。对相关研究进行了范围审查，旨在突出知识差距，并为未来潜在的研究方向提供建议。该审查基于 PRISMA-ScR 检查表。通过数据库检索，经过几个连续的筛选阶段，54 项研究被确定为符合纳入审查的资格。我们观察到暴露数据、研究设计、结果测量、景观类型和特征存在相当大的多样性。超过 96% 的纳入研究表明大学校园景观的不同方面与学生心理健康之间存在正相关关系，而只有两项研究报告没有关联。该审查发现了当前关于校园蓝色空间和景观设计特征对学生心理健康影响的证据基础的差距。此外，迄今为止尚未研究与精神分裂症、情绪和注意力问题以及饮食失调等一些心理健康状况的关联。研究结果表明需要进行更多研究来解决这些具体方面。
