| dc.abstract.en | During COVID 19 pandemic- related restrictions it was observed that people were more willing to spend time in nature and the thus number of forest visitors doubled. It has been proven that communing with nature reduces symp toms of anxiety, depression, alleviates stress, improves concentration and vitality. It also strengthens the immunological response of the body and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Being in nature encourages people to show prosocial behaviour, strengthens social bonds, and even reduces the level of violence. There is a connection be tween lowering blood serum levels of cortisol, dopamine and norepinephrine and spending a significant amount of time in nature. Walking in the forest can be effective in mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to summarize the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, while indicating the therapeutic properties of the forest that can prevent or mitigate the effects of the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In addition, it was indicated what are the possibilities and tasks of forest pedagogy in encouraging people to take advantage of the benefits of forest recreation | |
| dc.abstract.pl | W trakcie obostrzeń związanych z pandemią COVID-19 zaobserwowano, że ludzie chętniej spędzali czas na łonie natury, a liczba odwiedzających las wzrosła ponad dwukrotnie. Udowodniono, że obcowanie z przyrodą zmniejsza objawy lęku, depresji, redukuje stres, poprawa koncentrację i witalność, zwiększa odporność na infekcje i zmniejsza ryzyko związane z chorobami układu krążenia, nowotworami i otyłością. Przebywanie na łonie natury skłania człowieka do zachowań prospołecznych, sprzyja zacieśnianiu więzi społecznych, obniża poziom przemocy. Przebywanie w lesie obniża poziom kortyzolu, dopaminy i noradrenaliny. Spacerowanie w lesie może być skuteczne w łagodzeniu następstw pandemii COVID-19. Celem pracy było podsumowanie długotrwałych następstw pandemii COVID-19 przy jednoczesnym wskazaniu terapeutycznych właściwości lasu, które mogą działać profilaktycznie lub też łagodzić skutki przebytej choroby wywołanej wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Ponadto wskazano, jakie są możliwości i zadania pedagogiki leśnej w zachęcaniu ludzi do korzystania z dobrodziejstw rekreacji leśnej. | |
