El presente estudio analiza el efecto de la exposición mediada de imágenes de ambientes con cualidades restauradoras en el estrés y bienestar de mujeres con cáncer de mama. En un diseño pre-test (O1) y post-test (O2) de un solo grupo, participaron 36 mujeres (M = 50.19; DE = 7.93) expuestas a imágenes de alto potencial restaurador durante cuatro sesiones semanales de ocho minutos. Las variables estrés, bienestar y potencial restaurador se evaluaron mediante la escala de estrés percibido, la escala de bienestar físico, psicológico y social, y la escala de percepción de restauración ambiental. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los niveles de estrés y bienestar intragrupo (O1 vs. O2). El potencial restaurador de las imágenes se vio afectado por la edad de las participantes. Se encontraron relaciones positivas y significativas entre el bienestar global, el potencial restaurador de las imágenes y cualidades como la fascinación, estar alejado y la coherencia.
This study analyzed the effect of mediated exposure to restorative environments on stress and well-being in women with breast cancer. A single-group pre-test (O1) and post-test (O2) design was used with 36 women with breast cancer (M = 50.19; SD = 7.93) who were exposed to high-restorative potential images during four weekly sessions of eight minutes each. The variables of stress, well-being, and restorative potential were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale, the Physical, Psychological, and Social Well-Being Scale, and the Perceived Restorative Scale. No statistically significant differences were found in intragroup stress and well-being levels (O1 vs. O2). The restorative potential of the images was affected by the participants’ age. Positive and significant relationships were found between overall well-being, the restorative potential of the images, and the qualities of fascination, being away, and coherence, as well as relationships between some of the restorative qualities and the well-being dimensions.
