Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: This is a naturalistic study with a 3-month follow-up. Voluntary participation of pilgrims doing one of the "Way of Saint James" routes will be requested. Participants will be asked to complete an online questionnaire with sociodemographic data and outcome measures (e.g. mindfulness, satisfaction with life, depression, stress, anxiety) before starting the Camino, at the end of the Camino and 3 months later. These evaluations will help us discover the effects of the Camino de Santiago on mental health and well-being in the short- and mid-term.

Pilgrims doing the "Camino de Santiago" (any route)
In the present study we utilized the "Ultreya" dataset. The Ultreya study is an online longitudinal study aimed at evaluating the effects of the pilgrimage on the Way of Saint James on mental health and wellbeing (www.estudiocamino.org). This pilgrimage involves hundreds of paths around Europe with a common termination at Santiago de Compostela (Spain), and it was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during the Middle Ages. Currently, it is walked by thousands of people (\>300,000 per year).
No interventions assigned to this group
