This article reports the results of a study evaluating a book-supported primary prevention program "Dominique's Handy Tricks" for anxiety disorders in children aged 9-12 years. This cognitive-behavioural program is delivered using a combination of storybooks and workshop sessions. The originality of the program comes from the use of storybooks that were not developed specifically for anxiety management. Every session is based on a story describing characters facing common stressors and how they manage to cope with their daily problems. In our randomized control trial with 46 children, participation in the program led to a significant improvement in coping skills, perceived self-efficacy, anxiety sensitivity, as well as in symptoms of anxiety and fear. The theoretical and practical elements underlying the delivery of this primary prevention program are described.
It is suggested that such an approach, without any labelling specific to anxiety disorders, can be useful in primary prevention programs.
本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究评估了一个名为“多米尼克的实用技巧”的、以书籍为支撑的针对9至12岁儿童焦虑症的一级预防项目。这个认知行为项目通过故事书和工作坊课程相结合的方式实施。该项目的独特之处在于使用了并非专门为焦虑管理而编写的故事书。每节课都基于一个故事，讲述角色面对常见压力源以及他们如何设法应对日常问题。在我们对46名儿童进行的随机对照试验中，参与该项目使应对技能、感知到的自我效能、焦虑敏感性以及焦虑和恐惧症状都有了显著改善。本文描述了这个一级预防项目实施背后的理论和实践要素。
建议这种没有任何针对焦虑症特定标签的方法在一级预防项目中可能会有用。
