简要总结
An exploratory trial using a cuasi-experimental design aimed to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities. The intervention consists of 11 consecutive sessions of forest bathing (one session per week), each one lasting about 2 hours. Each session involves an easy walk through a forest area, interspersed with non-intrusive activities of contact with the surrounding nature aimed at fostering mindfulness and the use of the five senses. Data were collected at baseline, post intervention, and 7 months of follow-up.

Using INICO-FEAPS questionnaire (Verdugo Alonso et al., 2013): Scale for the Integral Evaluation of the Quality of Life of people with intellectual or developmental disability, developed by the University Institute for Community Integration (INICO) and the Spanish Confederation of Organizations for People with Intellectual or Developmental Disability (FEAPS). It is a self-report tool that consists of 72 four-point Likert-type items divided among 8 dimensions: self-determination, rights, emotional wellbeing, social inclusion, personal development, interpersonal relationships, material well-being, and physical well-being. Each dimension is composed of nine items. Each subscale score is calculated by summing up the score for each of the nine items, and a total score is then calculated by summing up the scale scores. Higher scores are associated to better quality of life.
