We conducted a campus forest-walking program targeting university and graduate students during their lunchtime and examined the physical and psychological effects of the program. We utilized a quasi-experimental design with a control group and a pretest-posttest design. Forty-seven men (M = 25.5 ± 3.8 years) and 52 women (M = 23.3 ± 4.3 years) volunteered to participate (experimental group = 51, control group = 48). The intervention group participated in campus forest-walking program once a week for six weeks; they were also asked to walk once a week additionally on an individual basis. Additionally, participants received one lecture on stress management. Post-tests were conducted both just after the program ended and three months after. A chi-square test, -test, and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to evaluate the effects of the program. Health promoting behaviors ( = 7.27, = 0.001, ES = 0.27) and parasympathetic nerve activity ( = 3.69, = 0.027, ES = 0.20) significantly increased and depression ( = 3.15, = 0.045, ES = 0.18) significantly decreased in the experimental group after the intervention compared to the control group. In conclusion, using the campus walking program to target students during their lunchtime is an efficient strategy to promote their physical and psychological health.
我们开展了一项针对大学生和研究生午餐时间的校园森林漫步计划，并研究了该计划对身体和心理的影响。我们采用了带有对照组的准实验设计和前测-后测设计。47名男性（M = 25.5 ± 3.8岁）和52名女性（M = 23.3 ± 4.3岁）自愿参与（实验组 = 51人，对照组 = 48人）。干预组每周参加一次校园森林漫步计划，共持续六周；他们还被要求额外每周进行一次个人漫步。此外，参与者接受了一次关于压力管理的讲座。在计划结束后和三个月后分别进行了后测。使用卡方检验、t检验和重复测量方差分析来评估该计划的效果。与对照组相比，干预后实验组的健康促进行为（F = 7.27，p = 0.001，ES = 0.27）和副交感神经活动（F = 3.69，p = 0.027，ES = 0.20）显著增加，抑郁（F = 3.15，p = 0.045，ES = 0.18）显著降低。总之，利用午餐时间针对学生开展校园漫步计划是促进他们身心健康的有效策略。
