Abstract

Quantitative results did not achieve statistical significance, but analysis of focus groups indicates that participants derived benefit from involvement in the study, particularly related to the regular self-reflection required by completing the monthly PSS-10. The study is a successful proof-of-concept, indicating that medical students derive benefit from a librarian-led bibliotherapy program as part of student wellness.
