  1. Coping with COVID Through Nature: Evidence from Breast Cancer Patients
    Source: Michigan State University (MSU)

    Format: PDF
    Annotation: In order to increase physical activity and reduce chronic stress on a population level, researchers and city planners are exploring features of the built environment, including access to urban green space that may promote healthy lifestyles. Parks serve as places to engage in physical activity (PA) in direct contact with nature -- called "green exercise" -- which has been shown to lower perceived stress and risk of chronic disease. In addition, research indicates that passive exposure to green space (e.g., visual, as in the sight of plants and trees, and auditory, as in birdsong) may lower stress. However, many adults may experience barriers to getting outdoors, visiting parks, and engaging in PA during COVID-19 lockdowns, particularly people with compromised immune systems like those living with cancer. Exploring both how and why physical activity and outdoor behaviors have changed can help us to further understand the decision-making process and potential interventions that will benefit the health and well-being of breast cancer patients.

    Questions Adapted From: Questions about usage of outdoor spaces were both novel and adapted from University of Minnesota and Kansas State University surveys on outdoor activities during COVID-19. Perceived stress scale from Cohen (Cohen, S., T. Kamarck, and R. Mermelstein, A global measure of perceived stress. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 1983. 24: p. 385-396). Quality of life questions from PROMIS (Hays, R.D., et al., Development of physical and mental health summary scores from the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) global items. Quality of life research: an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2009. 18(7): p. 873-880). Symptom experience from Cleeland (Cleeland, C.S., Symptom burden: multiple symptoms and their impact as patient-reported outcomes. J Natl Cancer Inst Monogr, 2007(37): p. 16-21).
