The intersection between space or ‘dark nature’, and people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia: a mixed‐methods survey study

This study provides novel insights into how people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia conceptualise space or 'dark nature', and the universe. It suggests potential mechanisms of action for the positive effects of contemplating space or carrying out space-related activities, and barriers and facilitators to space-related activities. This could help future researchers develop space-related or 'dark nature-based' interventions tailored for this population.

Abstract

This study provides novel insights into how people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia conceptualise space or 'dark nature', and the universe. It suggests potential mechanisms of action for the positive effects of contemplating space or carrying out space-related activities, and barriers and facilitators to space-related activities. This could help future researchers develop space-related or 'dark nature-based' interventions tailored for this population.
