与自然的连通性(CN)影响与户外自然环境接触的动机。在自然环境中度过闲暇时间对人类的健康和福祉是有益的。除了这些积极影响外，露天活动的健康风险主要与无保护措施的阳光照射相关的急性和慢性皮肤危害有关。因此，我们在奥地利居民中进行了一项具有代表性的横断面电话调查，以研究感知CN水平与太阳暴露知识、晒黑习惯和防晒行为的关系。共有1500名研究对象(50.5%的女性)参与了这次问卷调查。虽然关于晒黑的知识和晒黑的动机在性别上是相似的，但与男性相比，女性采取了更多的光防护措施，更接近自然(P<；0.001)。高龄和户外运动是影响感知CN水平的显著的性别独立预测变量。此外，受教育程度与男性CN有关，而不吸烟和高知识水平对女性CN有预测作用。这项调查提供了到目前为止没有报道的关于奥地利居民自然连接性和与皮肤健康相关的娱乐习惯之间关系的经验数据。研究结果建议，在就户外活动的多种健康好处进行咨询时，应纳入迄今被忽视的针对特定性别的公共(皮肤)健康促进。
Connectedness to nature (CN) influences motivation to have contact with outdoor natural environments. Spending leisure time in natural environments is beneficial for human health and well-being. Besides these positive effects, health risks of open-air activities are mainly related to unprotected sun light exposure-associated acute and chronic skin hazards. Thus, we conducted a cross-sectional, representative telephone survey among Austrian residents to study the association of perceived CN level with sun-exposure knowledge, tanning habits, and sun protective behaviour. In total, 1,500 study subjects (50.5% females) participated in this questionnaire survey. Although knowledge about tanning and motives to tan were similar among genders, females performed more photoprotective measures and were more connected to nature (all p < 0.001) compared to males. Older age and outdoor sport were significant gender-independent predictor variables influencing perceived CN level. Additionally, level of education was relevant in male CN, whereas non-smoking and higher knowledge were predictive of female CN. This survey provides so far unreported empirical data on the relationship between nature connectedness and skin health-relevant recreational habits of Austrian residents. The findings suggest to integrate hitherto neglected gender-specific Public (Skin) Health promotion when counselling on the manifold health advantages of outdoor activities.
