Emerging evidence points to rising levels of psychological distress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need for self-administered, low-cost, and accessible interventions that facilitate wellbeing and growth.
This study used a randomised controlled trial (RCT) design to investigate the effects of a two-week positivity-oriented photography intervention on wellbeing and posttraumatic growth in comparison to a control group. Participants were adults between the ages of 21 and 80 living in the UK recruited between May and August 2020 ( = 109).
After adjusting for baseline wellbeing, both wellbeing and PTG were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group following intervention completion, with this effect remaining similar at one-month follow-up.
The study offers preliminary evidence that a brief self-administered photography intervention could hold therapeutic value.
有新的证据表明，由于 COVID-19 大流行，人们的心理困扰程度正在上升。因此，需要自我管理、低成本和易于获取的干预措施来促进幸福感和成长。
本研究采用随机对照试验 (RCT) 设计，比较了为期两周的以积极为导向的摄影干预对幸福感和创伤后成长的影响。参与者为年龄在 21 至 80 岁之间、居住在英国的成年人，于 2020 年 5 月至 8 月招募( = 109)。
调整基线幸福感后，与对照组相比，干预组在干预完成后幸福感和创伤后成长显著更高，这种效果在一个月随访时仍然相似。
该研究初步表明，简短的自我管理摄影干预可能具有治疗价值。
