From: Daily exposure to virtual nature reduces symptoms of anxiety in college students
Impacts of virtual nature relative to a control condition (no intervention) on two dimensions of anxiety symptoms (worry (A) and panic (B)), depressive symptoms (C), and an underlying cause of poor mental health: rumination (D) (N = 40). Greater decreases correspond to stronger benefits of exposure for mental health. Red lines connect median values pre- and post-intervention. The time between the pre- and post-intervention was three weeks for the 18 students (45% of the total sample) who participated before the COVID-19 pandemic and four weeks for the 22 students (55% of the total sample) who participated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
