The purpose of this paper is to describe a bibliotherapy-based wellness initiative that was developed at the health science library at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
A comprehensive literature review and consultations with stakeholders were completed. A bibliotherapy program, which included the practice of using books and reading to promote mental health, well-being, and resilience for chiropractic students, was developed and launched in January 2020. The program included shared reading, reflection, and a guided group discussion. Short readings of various genres (i.e., poetry, fiction, nonfiction) were tailored specifically to address psychological, emotional, and social challenges facing students.
The program participant feedback showed that shared reading helped students cope with anxiety, worries, and loneliness and isolation caused by the pandemic, as consistent with bibliotherapy research.
The bibliotherapy program at this 1 location seemed to be well-received by chiropractic students. The program was recognized by faculty and college administrators as a valuable addition to other mental health and wellness support services available on campus. These findings suggest future research to evaluate the potential efficacy of bibliotherapy for the mental health, well-being, and resilience of chiropractic students.
本文旨在描述加拿大纪念脊椎按摩疗法学院健康科学图书馆开展的一项基于阅读疗法的健康促进倡议。
完成了全面的文献综述并与利益相关者进行了磋商。2020年1月制定并启动了一项阅读疗法计划，该计划包括利用书籍和阅读来促进脊椎按摩疗法专业学生的心理健康、幸福感和恢复力。该计划包括共读、反思和引导式小组讨论。各种体裁（即诗歌、小说、非虚构作品）的简短读物是专门为应对学生面临的心理、情感和社会挑战而量身定制的。
项目参与者的反馈表明，共读有助于学生应对焦虑、担忧以及疫情造成的孤独和孤立感，这与阅读疗法研究结果一致。
该场所的阅读疗法计划似乎受到了脊椎按摩疗法专业学生的欢迎。该计划被教师和学院管理人员认可为校园内其他心理健康和健康支持服务的宝贵补充。这些发现为未来评估阅读疗法对脊椎按摩疗法专业学生心理健康、幸福感和恢复力的潜在疗效的研究提供了方向。
