AB - The purpose of the study is to prove the effectiveness of the bibliotherapy in decreasing the stress among the elderly. A 4-week program was developed and provided in 2 types, group meeting and individual telephone contact, for the old over 60 years. A total of 121 participants completed the program offered at 16 institutions. Participants’ stress perception and stress response were measured prior to the bibliotherapy and post-tests were followed. 17 hypotheses were tested statistically by t-test and ANOVA. The followings are the main results. Both types of the bibliotherapy are effective in decreasing the stress of the old. Group meeting program is more effective than individual contact program. There were no significant effectiveness difference among the groups divided by sex, age, and education level. Bibliotherapy effectiveness is differ among groups divided by the initial stress perception level. Obviously, bibliotherapy was more effective for the old in high stress level than those in low stress level. Based on the results, recommendations are suggested to promote the bibliotherapy program.
