Résumé
Plusieurs études montrent que le stress vécu par les travailleurs et étudiants est de plus en plus présent au point de devenir une préoccupation de santé publique. Cette problématique serait notamment causée par l’augmentation des demandes sur le système cognitif. L’exposition à la nature est reconnue pour diminuer les symptômes d’anxiété, mais également pour restaurer les ressources cognitives. Cet article a donc pour objectif de présenter la façon dont le système cognitif peut bénéficier d’une exposition à la nature et de soulever les principales études qui appuient son intégration dans les milieux de travail ou scolaires.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that stress among workers and students is increasingly common, to the extent of becoming a public health preoccupation. This might be partially explained by increasing demands on the cognitive system. Exposure to natural settings has been shown to help decrease anxiety levels, but also to restore cognitive resources. Hence, this article aims at presenting how cognitive processes can benefit from nature exposure and at highlighting the main studies supporting nature integration among work and scholar environments.
