Nature for Body ImageSimple nature exposureStructured Built Environment Exposure

Nature for Body Image: The intervention will include a range of activities in nature (e.g., in a public park), such as meditation, body scans, and grounding exercises.

Simple nature exposure: The intervention will simply involve spending time in nature (e.g., in a public park), without specific guidelines.

Structured Built Environment Exposure: The intervention will mirror the activities of the structured nature exposure intervention (e.g., meditation, body scans, and grounding exercises), but without any exposure to nature.

Study summary

Nature exposure has been found to be particularly beneficial for body image, as recent studies have identified a positive association between time spent in nature and positive body image. Positive body image, defined as the ability to accept and respect one's body, has been linked to greater life satisfaction and engagement in healthy behaviors. Conversely, negative body image is recognized as a public health concern due to its detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. It has been associated with symptoms of Body Image Disorders (BIDs), including Eating Disorders (EDs) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

The Nature for Body Image (NBI) project aimed to examine the impact of a structured nature exposure intervention on improving body image among young women aged 18-35 years.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Negative Body Image — 5 weeks
    Assessed with the Italian - Body Image Concern Inventory (I-BICI), a 19-item self-report questionnaire measuring negative body image. Scores range from 19 to 95, with higher scores indicating greater negative body image.
  • Body Appreciation — 5 weeks
