| Sumario: | In rehabilitation of stress-related mental illness where nature is used as support, this study
examines how professionals engaged in nature interventions describe the activities and
what dimensions they perceive as essential for nature interventions to be active. Three
people working in Sweden in nature-assisted rehabilition organisations are interviewed
about their experiences. The material describes how nature interventions can break negative
spirals of stress and create good conditions so that healing processes can occur. This by
offering recovery, natural environments and activities where forest walks and gardening
activities are mixed and adapted to the participant's needs and choice. The outcome is
discussed in the light of previous environmental psychological research and describes how
rehabilitation processes take place in different sequences where the individual's ability to feel calm,
permissiveness and joy is essential leading to new perspectives and new skills,
which in turn makes it easier for the individual to relate for the need of control and
reorientation. Nature's rhythm with associated seasonal changes and environmental
qualities as well as the supervisor's professional guidance reveals as central to the
description of the activities and participants' development of new habits with increased use
of nature and physical activity. Support from research is requested regarding
documentation, evaluation and frameworks. A concluding question ends the study of the
connection between nature and increased physical activity, and if habits of being in nature
occur. |
