Summary

Each hospitalization leads to stress and anxiety. This is particularly true in psychiatry, because of "decompensation". That is why therapeutic treatments are delivered quickly to treat these symptoms and to allow a better relationship with patients. This relationship patients-nursing staff called "therapeutic alliance" is needed in psychiatry. Moreover, other treatments added to the therapeutic ones are used, like mediation, to increase the patients' state of health.

These last years, numerous studies were based on hortitherapy or care-gardens. It consists in the use of plants with a medical staff (for example nurses). A lot demonstrated the efficacy of the care-gardens, but most of them showed methodological weaknesses.

That is why the investigators would like to perform a randomized study, controlled, and they aim to demonstrate the efficacy of hortitherapy on anxiety in patients allowed in adult psychiatry for at least 4 weeks.
