Abstract: (472 Views)
Background & Aims The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased in recent decades. Bibliotherapy has been shown to be effective in addressing the challenges faced by individuals with ASD. This study aims to review the effects of different bibliotherapy methods (such as poetry therapy, book therapy, and story therapy) on the common problems of ASD patients.
Materials & Methods This is a systematic review. The search was performed on Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Google Scholar, SID, and MagIran databases for related studies published until May 31, 2024, according to the PRISMA guidelines and using the MeSH terms. The quality of studies was assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT). Finally, 31 eligible studies were included in the present systematic review.
Results The participants were people with ASD aged 3-30 or their caregivers. The bibliotherapy approaches were effective in improving speech and language skills, social activities, social development, interaction with others, social participation, positive social behaviors, comprehension and concentration, verbal and long-term engagement in children, and reducing inappropriate behaviors and mental distress.
Conclusion Due to the ease and availability of bibliotherapy methods, it is helpful to employ these interventions in hospitals, care centers, and educational institutions for individuals with ASD with the participation of their teachers, parents, or caregivers, to improve their skills and reduce their cognitive, social, behavioral, and verbal challenges.
