Informal caregivers play an essential role in caring for persons who require assistance and in managing the health of their loved ones. Unfortunately, they need more health, leisure, and relaxation time. Nature interaction is one of many kinds of self-care intervention. It has long been regarded as a refreshing break from stressful routines, and re...
Lower extremity muscle strength (LEMS) and body balance (BB) are essential for older adults to maintain an upright posture and autonomously perform their basic activities of daily living. This study aimed to examine whether LEMS and BB mediate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a large samp...
Informal caregivers play a fundamental role in caring for people that need assistance and provide an effective service in managing their loved ones’ health. Because of this, they have little time to attend to themselves and perform self-care practices. Some of these practices can improve mental health. By snowball sampling, we recruited 15 informal...
With virtual reality (VR) industries and research focusing on gaming, training and, somewhat, in healthcare, there seems to be a lack of VR as simpler form of relaxing leisure, despite its potential. When emotions are targeted, there appears to be a focus on visceral ones like jump scares, panic, high adrenaline, fears and anything related to bad f...
Cueing is defined as the use of external temporal or spatial stimuli to facilitate the initiation and continuation of movement. For gait rehabilitation, cues can take the form of multimodal stimuli, providing metrics and instructions for patients to correct their movements, and can be used in multiple contexts and objectives. Therefore, the design...

... The use of VR immersive content to promote relaxation has also been investigated recently, not only among people suffering from mental health problems, but also among healthy individuals. For relaxation, most of the applications consist of exposing the subject to a relaxing environment, usually featuring nature content, or even using the content to induce a meditative state (Noronha and Campos, 2021;Lopes et al., 2022;Riches et al., 2023). In addition, nature immersion delivered by head-mounted displays (HMDs) has been self-reported as more relaxing than when they are delivered on a PC screen (Knaust et al., 2022). ...
... However, because PA and HRQoL change with age, the results from these studies may not be representative of older adults. In addition, the vast majority of studies focus only on the amount of PA, not the type of PA [10], leading to inconsistent conclusions [6, 11,12]. Lastly, few studies have explored the mechanisms by which PA leads to a decrease in HRQoL. ...

... Research on how mobile phone reminders can enhance people's lives in very busy lifestyles, like the informal caregivers, is very scarce. Peres et al. [14] explore this issue on a broader scale and in self-care routines. We expand this study by further researching the effects of mindful self-care subdomains to increase the frequency of self-care practices. ...
