简要总结
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela on mood, satisfaction with life, happiness, ability to pay attention to the present moment and the capacity to make choices in a more conscious and values-oriented way. Other personal aspects that could be related to the effects of the Camino and that may also mediate some of its effects (e.g., personal reasons for walking, socialization along the Camino, number of days walked, physical pain associated with walking, previous pilgrimages to Santiago, etc.) will be also assessed.
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Patient Health Questionnaire, short form (PHQ-2; Kroenke, Spitzer, & Williams, 2003)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
PHQ-2 is a 2-item measure assessing frequency of the two core depression symptoms (depressed mood and anhedonia) over the past two weeks, using a 4-point Likert scale (from 0= "not at all" to 3= "nearly every day"; total score ranges from 0 to 6). Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptoms.
Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
SHS is a measure of global subjective happiness and consists of four items with a 7-point Likert-type scale. Mean total score ranges from 1 to 7, with greater scores indicating higher levels of perceived happiness.
Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
SWLS assesses global life satisfaction. It contains five items rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 7 ("strongly agree") ( total scores range from 5 to 35). Higher scores indicate greater perceived satisfaction with life/wellbeing.
International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, short form (I.PANAS-SF; Thompson, 2007)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
I-PANAS-SF is a 10-item version of the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) to measure positive and negative affect. Items are on a 5-point scale that ranges from "never" (1) to "always" (5). Subscale scores (i.e. Positive affect or Negative affect) may range from 5 to 25 with higher scores meaning greater presence of positive or negative affect .
General Anxiety Disorder scale, short form (GAD-2, Kroenke, Spitzer, Williams, Monahan, & Löwe, 2007)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
GAD-2 is a 2-item scale that serves as an initial screening tool for generalized anxiety. Items are on a 4-point Likert scale (from 0= "not at all" to 3= "nearly every day"; total score ranges from 0 to 6). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety symptoms.
Perceived Stress Scale, short form (PSS-4; Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 3 months
PSS-4 is a 4-item scale which measures the degree to which respondents appraised situations as stressful in the last month. Responses are scored on a Likert-scale between 0 = "never" and 4 = "very often" (total score ranges from 0 to 16). Higher scores indicate greater perceived stress.
