Abstract
The international master’s program, Outdoor Environments for Health and Well-Being, leads to a Master of Science degree specializing in environmental psychology. The program covers health-promoting outdoor environments throughout the lifespan, evidence-based health design, occupational aspects, and the One Health concept. One of the courses offered is Nature and Animal-Assisted Interventions (MP0009), which focuses on occupations, occupational performance, and values performed with natural elements and/or animals in indoor or outdoor settings, i.e., a place independent occupational performance for health promotion. This fact sheet is a final assignment of the student´s work, presented at the NAAI course conference in 2024.
