Measure before and after the action, determine the average value and standard deviation of each, and judge whether the interval scale has changed significantly. 2 Evaluate mental health by farm work, regional walks, mood profile survey before and after each act (POMS 2 simplified version). Disease verification is performed by conducting TMD score conversion, judging that improvement can be expected if the average value of the score rate and the standard deviation of individuals are obtained and each decreases before and after the tour. | — |
