简要总结
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to test if digital engagement instructions (a nature guide APP) can enhance the nature connection and provide positive health outcomes for individuals with mobility disabilities.
The study has an active control group, that will have the same nature exposure without the guidance of the APP. 124 participants will be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group.
The intervention consists of two parts:
Intervention day 1: The intervention starts for both the 'intervention group' and the 'control group' in the Hoersholm arboretum, which contain Denmark's largest collection of different trees and shrubs. The intervention group will listen to the 'intervention APP' during a tour with three stops along a trail in the arboretum. The active control group will take the same tour but does not have access to the 'intervention APP'.
4 week intervention: During the following 4 weeks the participants will be encouraged to visit nature for 120 minutes in total per week on their own. The intervention group will still be encouraged to use the APP during the nature visits.

结局指标
主要结局
The Nature Connection Index
时间窗: Baseline 0 (1 week before intervention), After intervention day 1, End of intervention (after 4 months), 1 month follow-up, 3 month-follow up, 6-months follow-up
Questionnaire Nature Connection Index (NCI) is a 6-item self-report measure of connection to nature. The level of agreement with each of the 6 statements is rated on a scale from 1 (completely agree) to 7 (completely disagree), where a higher score indicates higher level of nature connection.
次要结局
- The Restorative Outcome Scale(After tour on intervention day 1, End of intervention (after 4 months))
- The Subjective Vitality Scale(Baseline 0 (1 week before intervention), After intervention day 1, End of intervention (after 4 months), 1 month follow-up, 3 month-follow up, 6-months follow-up)
- The Health-related Quality of Life Short Form Survey(Baseline 0 (1 week before intervention), End of intervention (after 4 months), 1 month follow-up, 3 month-follow up, 6-months follow-up)
- the State Mindfulness Scale(Baseline 1 (just before intervention), After tour on intervention day 1, End of intervention (after 4 months))
- Heart Rate Variability(During tour on intervention day 1)
- The State-Trait Assessment of Resilience Scale(Baseline 0 (1 week before intervention), After intervention day 1, End of intervention (after 4 months), 1 month follow-up, 3 month-follow up, 6-months follow-up)
