Mental and social health outcomes from a portfolio of women's outdoor tourism products, with ~100,000 clients, are analysed using a catalysed netnography of >1000 social media posts. Entirely novel outcomes include: psychological rescue; recognition of a previously missing life component, and flow-on effects to family members. Outcomes reported previously for extreme sports, but not previously for hiking in nature, include psychological transformation. Outcomes also identified previously include: happiness, gratitude, relaxation, clarity and insights, nature appreciation, challenge and capability, and companionship and community effects. Commercial outdoor tourism enterprises can contribute powerfully to the wellbeing of women and families. This will be especially valuable for mental health recovery, following deterioration during COVID-19 coronavirus lockdowns worldwide.
通过对超过1000条社交媒体帖子进行催化式网络民族志分析,研究了一系列面向约10万名客户的女性户外旅游产品所带来的心理和社会健康结果。全新的结果包括:心理救援;认识到以前缺失的生活组成部分,以及对家庭成员的连带影响。以前在极限运动中报告过但在自然徒步中未曾报告过的结果包括心理转变。以前确定的结果还包括:幸福、感恩、放松、清晰与洞察、对自然的欣赏、挑战与能力,以及陪伴和社区影响。商业户外旅游企业可以为女性和家庭的幸福做出巨大贡献。在全球范围内因新冠疫情封锁导致健康状况恶化之后,这对于心理健康恢复将特别有价值。
