摘要: | 背景及目的:一場世紀大瘟疫,全面影響人們的生活形態,全球像是按了暫停鍵,所有經濟活動頓時靜止,世界各國為因應Covid-19疫情,實施各項封鎖政策,限制人們行動與社交距離,迫使人們需長期處於家中。疫情徹底改變了人們在公共綠地中進行身心恢復的能力,封鎖及隔離導致心理健康惡化,包括創傷後壓力症候群、憤怒、焦慮及各種的生理疾患症狀等等。近年來國內外多項研究顯示,重啟與自然的連結可促進身心健康,本研究主要探討在疫情期間受限於戶外活動減少,是否也可透過生活環境中的綠色體驗支持身心健康,同時探討自然連結經驗與生心理健康之關聯,開啟與自然療癒相關研究之對話。 材料及方法:本研究採用橫斷式問卷調查方式,於2021年11月12至2022年1月31日期間,透過線上招募全台20~59歲民眾進行調查。問卷內容包含個人基本資料、疫情期間的生活適應 (Questionnaire for Residents' Daily Status during COVID-19, QRDSC) 與綠色體驗調查表 (Greenery Experienced, GE)、自然關聯性量表 (Natural Relatedness Scale, NRS)、知覺恢復性量表 (Perceived Restorativeness Scale, PRS) 及華人健康問卷 (Chinese Health Questionnaire, CHQ-12)。問卷數據以SPSS18.0統計軟體進行描述性統計、獨立樣本T檢定、Pearson 相關分析及多元迴歸分析等統計法進行分析探討。 結果:本研究問卷透過網路回收有效問卷共226份,女性佔59.73%,男性佔40.27%;年齡40-49歲佔45.13%;學歷學士佔43.36%。受訪者背景在各研究變項的差異性分析,本研究結果發現疫情期間男性與女性在自然連結的部分並無太大差異性;整體綠色體驗上,女性有較高的綠色體驗參與感;在知覺恢復性上,女性同樣高於男性;自覺健康上性別則無太大差異。年齡層在50-59歲的綠色體驗與知覺恢復性都具有顯著差異,顯示疫情期間綠色體驗對於中高年齡層,有助於注意力恢復與身心狀況緩解更加明顯。自覺健康方面,結果發現自然連結特別對於憂鬱和家庭關係有顯著正向影響,同時也發現綠色體驗對於睡眠品質有較顯著正向的影響。 結論:疫情期間的綠色體驗與自然連結對於注意力恢復與身心健康具有正向的影響,在COVID-19疫情封鎖期間,人們的生活空間被迫侷限在有限的室內與特定的戶外空間中,此研究結果似乎更加凸顯人與知覺恢復環境之間的相互關聯以及人們面臨疫情的不確定性,透過自然連結和綠色體驗幫助安定身心的迫切需求。 Background and Purpose:A pandemic of the century profoundly affects people's living condition. The world seems to have pressed the pause button, and all economic activities have suddenly shut down. The pandemic has revolutionized people's ability to recover physically and mentally in public green spaces. The lockdowns and quarantines cause to worsen mental health, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anger, anxiety, and a variety of physical disorders symptoms. The study intends to explore whether it is possible to support physical and mental health through green experiences and nature connectedness in the living environment during pandemic while the amount of outdoor activities have been reduced, with the hope of starting conversation between natural healing research field. Materials and Methods: An online self-report survey was distributed between Nov. 12, 2021 and Jan. 31, 2022, and conducted among people aged 20 to 59 in Taiwan. The questionnaire includes basic personal information, Questionnaire for Residents' Daily Status during COVID-19 (QRDSC) and Greenery Experienced (GE), Natural Relatedness Scale (NRS), Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ-12). Results: A total of 226 valid questionnaires were collected through online survey, 59.73% were women and 40.27% were men, 45.13% were aged 40-49, and 43.36% were with bachelor's degrees. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficients of ”Natural Relatedness” and ”Green Experience” for ”Perceived Restorativeness” were significantly correlation. For ”Conscious Health”, the correlation coefficient of ”Natural Connectedness” for ”physical symptoms” was significantly correlated, and the correlation coefficient between ”Natural Self” and ”Natural Experience” was significantly correlated with ”depression or poor family relationship”. The ”Green Experience” has a significant correlation with ”sleep status” of ”Conscious Health”. Conclusion: The findings of the study explore summarize that green experience and nature connectedness have the positive effects on human mental and physical health. During COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, people have been forced to stay indoors and particular outdoors. The study results emphasize the significant interconnectedness between people and the environment of perceived restorativeness. The urgent demand for people to stabilize their mental and physical health through natural connectedness and green experiences to face the uncertainty during pandemic. |
