家福會「自然為本靜觀課程研究」 (Chinese Version Only)

家福會一直關注照顧者需要，於2021年起獲香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助，於本會崇德家福軒 — 家庭退修中心(白屋)推行為期三年的「賽馬會家家自然好心晴」計劃，旨在提升家庭照顧者的身心健康，透過融合大自然元素的靜觀活動紓解照顧者壓力。

家福會亦於 2022至 2024 年與專門從事靜觀研究的香港理工大學盧希皿博士合作，為長者照顧者及經歷壓力的家長設計一個自然為本靜觀課程，並進行相關研究以評估課程效益。

研究發現長者照顧者在參與課程前後比較，在「抑鬱」、「焦慮」、「壓力」等指標均有顯著改善；而面對壓力的家長，在「壓力」、「身體癥狀」等指標亦有顯著改善。另外，參加者表示課程有助遠離壓力及體驗大自然靜觀力量，以新角度面對壓力，將正能量帶到現實。

家福會建議政府、社福機構及商界合作，予市民參加「融合大自然元素」的靜觀課程，歇息一刻，促進心理健康。
