ABSTRACT Research has found that viewing nature reduces stress and improves mood, but few studies have focused on the potential of viewing nature to reduce negative emotions associated with dementia. Using a counterbalanced design, 14 memory care residents were alternately exposed to a virtual nature experience (treatment) and a generational movie (control). Before and after each exposure, heart rate was measured, and emotions were assessed with the Observed Emotion Rating Scale and the Agitated Behavior Scale. Results are that heart rate declined significantly compared with the generational movie, and anxiety and pleasure showed greater improvements during the nature intervention, although the difference was not significant.

摘要 研究发现，观赏大自然可以减轻压力并改善情绪，但很少有研究关注观赏大自然以减少与痴呆症相关的负面情绪的潜力。使用平衡设计，14 名记忆护理居民交替接触虚拟自然体验（治疗）和世代电影（控制）。在每次暴露之前和之后，测量心率，并使用观察情绪评定量表和激动行为量表评估情绪。结果是，与一代电影相比，心率显着下降，焦虑和愉悦在自然干预期间表现出更大的改善，尽管差异并不显着。
