Although many studies have suggested that nature-based activities have a healing effect on human beings, there is little research on the underlying mechanism. This study investigated the role of nature connectedness in the relationship between the perception of nature and individuals' physical and psychological health. We recruited essential workers who participated in disease prevention and control during the COVID-19 pandemic and their family members as the subjects for this study. The stress levels experienced by this group made them an ideal sample. The results of a survey-based study showed that nature-based activities had a positive effect on alleviating state anxiety levels. The results also showed that nature-based activities affected perceived restoration via the feeling of nature connectedness. This study examined the healing effect of nature-based activities that stimulate the five senses and nature connectedness and explored the potential of nature-based treatments for people experiencing high levels of stress.
虽然许多研究表明，基于自然的活动对人类具有治疗效果，但对于其潜在机制的研究却很少。本研究调查了与自然的连接感在人们对自然的感知与身心健康之间关系中的作用。我们招募了在 COVID-19 大流行期间参与疾病预防和控制的一线工作者及其家属作为研究对象，他们所经历的压力使他们成为一个理想的样本。基于调查的研究结果表明，基于自然的活动对缓解状态焦虑水平有积极影响。结果还表明，基于自然的活动通过与自然的连接感来影响感知恢复。本研究检验了基于自然的活动的治疗效果，这些活动刺激了人的五种感官和与自然的连接感，并探讨了基于自然的治疗方法对高压力人群的潜在作用。
