Background: Well-being and quality of life are a major focus area in nursing. Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-Yoku, was developed in Japan. It refers to spending time in nature as a means of reducing stress and promoting well-being while immersed in nature. Aim: In a nursing context, to test the relevance of virtual reality experience with sensory stimulation representing forest nature. Method: Observations and qualitative individual first person interviews with 15 elderly mobility-constrained individuals living in their own home (71-98 years). Each participant took part in a virtual representation of the forest twice with pre-and post-interviews. Results: Nature can create both positive thoughts and good feelings, but nature can also initiate negative feelings and thoughts depending on the participant's actual life situation. Conclusion: VR representing forest bathing can be relevant to use in a nursing context, but it must be used with care and caution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
