Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Throughout the AWN programme, nature-based exercises are facilitated in which participants are encouraged to recognise the significance of physical environment and social support in coping with environment-related emotions, nature connectedness and wellbeing. AWN programme is facilitated by a trained health care professional.
The AWN has three separate stages (4 weeks each): Stage 1: nature connectedness, environmental self-regulation and confidence in the group; Stage 2: environmental-related emotions, psychological flexibility and coping strategies; Stage 3: experimenting with change alternatives and affirming positive change in environmental behaviour.
Participants respond to online surveys at five measurement points: a pre-measurement at the start of the programme, two measurements during the programme (at 4 and 8 weeks of the programme), a post-measurement at the end of the programme, and a follow-up measurement three months after the end of the programme. The participants in the intervention group (nature-based AWN programme) are compared to the participants in the control group who continue life as usual and only respond to online surveys at three measurement points (pre-, post- and follow-up measurements). Coping with environment-related emotions, comprehensive nature experience, nature connectedness, environmental emotions and personal environmental goals are investigated as mediators to explain changes in well-being and pro-environmental behaviour.
This research is funded by the Research Council of Finland (Project Numbers: 350971 and 350964).
