The main question it aims to answer is:Does a 2-week contemplative nature intervention improve spiritual well-being?Researchers will compare intervention conditions to active control (walking in nature) and passive control (waitlist) conditions to see if contemplating in nature works to improve spirituality.Participants in the intervention condition will walk for 10 minutes and then choose a nice spot to sit for 10 minutes. During these minutes they will be asked to be silently present and observe trees, plants, flowers, or other aspects of nature and contemplate their connectedness to nature and their own awareness. Then walk back 10 minutes.Participants in the active control condition will walk for 30 minutes without further instruction., conditionsModule conditions: Spiritual Well-being, conditions: Healthy, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 200, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Contemplating in nature, interventions name: Walking in nature, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List Short Form (SAIL-SF), primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List Short Form (SAIL-SF), primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List Short Form (SAIL-SF), primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), primaryOutcomes measure: Spiritual well-being assessed by Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES), otherOutcomes measure: Client satisfaction of intervention condition assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), otherOutcomes measure: Client satisfaction of active control condition assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), otherOutcomes measure: Client satisfaction of passive control condition assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by the single item Inclusion of Nature with Self scale (INS), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by the single item Inclusion of Nature with Self scale (INS), otherOutcomes measure: Nature connectedness assessed by the single item Inclusion of Nature with Self scale (INS), otherOutcomes measure: Well-being assessed by Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF), otherOutcomes measure: Well-being assessed by Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF), otherOutcomes measure: Well-being assessed by Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF), otherOutcomes measure: Psychological well-being assessed by Brief INSPIRE-O, otherOutcomes measure: Psychological well-being assessed by Brief INSPIRE-O, otherOutcomes measure: Psychological well-being assessed by Brief INSPIRE-O, otherOutcomes measure: Stress assessed by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), otherOutcomes measure: Stress assessed by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), otherOutcomes measure: Stress assessed by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of Twente, city: Enschede, state: Overijssel, zip: 7522NB, country: Netherlands, contacts name: TALITHA RUARUS-BLANKERT, role: CONTACT, phone: +31534891289, email: pgt@utwente.nl, contacts name: Ernst Bohlmeijer, Prof. Dr., role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 52.21833, lon: 6.89583, hasResults: False
