Community crises require the provision of short-term reflective intervention methods to help service users identify stressors, and access and intensify their adaptive coping. Here, we demonstrate the use of a single-session online cognitive behavioral- and art-based (CB-ART) intervention within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this method, the individual draws three images: his/her COVID-19-related stress, his/her perceived resources, and an integration of stress and resources. This method provided a reflective space in which individuals could identify their experienced stressors, acknowledge their coping resources, and integrate these two elements within the context of the current pandemic. In this article, we use illustrative examples from a study implemented during the first national lockdown in Israel and present a tool that can be easily implemented by mental-health professionals in ongoing community crises. The aims of this intervention were to co-create knowledge with service users, access their self-defined needs and strengths, and enhance their coping by enabling them to view stress and coping as part of the salutogenic continuum.
社区危机需要提供短期的反思干预方法,以帮助服务使用者识别压力源,并获得和加强他们的适应性应对。在这里,我们展示了在 COVID-19 大流行背景下单次在线认知行为和艺术(CB-ART)干预的应用。在这种方法中,个体画三幅画:与 COVID-19 相关的压力、感知到的资源,以及压力和资源的整合。这种方法提供了一个反思的空间,个体可以在其中识别他们所经历的压力源,承认他们的应对资源,并在当前大流行的背景下整合这两个元素。在本文中,我们使用了在以色列第一次全国封锁期间实施的一项研究中的实例,并提出了一种工具,心理健康专业人员可以在持续的社区危机中轻松实施。这种干预的目的是与服务使用者共同创造知识,了解他们自我定义的需求和优势,并通过使他们能够将压力和应对视为健康促进连续体的一部分来增强他们的应对能力。
