It showed that CMI score is reduced significantly in post-score in the experimental group which attended forest therapy program(F=42.276, P= .000). According to results of STAI-X-1, there was significant reduction(F=78.145, P .000) and there was significant reduction( F=48.639, p= .000 ) in results of STAI-X-2.
