Abstract
Objective
Natural elements in the built healthcare environment have shown to hold
potential stress-reducing properties. In order to shed light on the
underlying mechanism of stress-reducing effects of nature, the present
study investigates whether the stress-reducing effects of indoor plants
occur because such an environment is perceived as being more attractive.

Results
.
Participants exposed to the hospital room with indoor plants reported less
stress than those in the control condition. Mediation analysis confirmed
that indoor plants in a hospital room reduce feelings of stress through
the perceived attractiveness of the room.
.
Conclusion
.
This study confirms the stress-reducing properties of natural elements in
the built healthcare environment. It also sheds light on the underlying
mechanism causing this stress-reduction.
