Detailed Description:
This research proposal aims to explore the impact of poem writing on the well-being of adult volunteers serving patients recovering from mental illness in Hong KongThe research design was a single-arm intervention study with 30 participants The intervention consists of two sessions of poem writing each lasting for 3 hours led by experienced Chinese teachers or drama directors The themes of the poems will focus on accomplishment joy and gratitude
The primary outcomes are mental well-being and happiness measured using the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale and a single-item happiness scale Feasibility outcomes include recruitment rate retention rate and acceptability of the interventions Secondary outcomes include depressive symptoms anxiety interest in poem writing perceived benefits after the activity and the number of successfully written poems
Moreover the proposal includes plans for in-depth interviews with participants to gather qualitative data The results will be analyzed descriptively and narratively with no efficacy statistical tests due to the nature of this feasibility study
Apart from that the process evaluation will be done by the instructors after the end of the second class including the teachers speakers and the leaders of each group This act aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the app in creating and writing poems as well as the feelings after class on the instructors An evaluation analysis will be made after the collection of data
The proposal underscores the potential of poem writing as a therapeutic tool for volunteers serving patients recovering from mental illness enhancing their overall well-being Poem writing not only allows volunteers to express their thoughts emotions and experiences but also enhances their self-esteem by validating their feelings and providing a sense of accomplishment Volunteers working with individuals recovering from mental illness often encounter intense emotions Writing poems allows them to channel these emotions constructively preventing burnout and fostering resilience Furthermore the act of creating poems can be joyful and fulfilling Volunteers experience a sense of flow where time seems to disappear as they immerse themselves in the creative process Lastly incorporating poem writing into volunteer programs can be a powerful tool for enhancing both the volunteers and the patients well-being self-esteem and emotional resilience Volunteers can find solace connection and purpose through their poetic expressions ultimately benefiting both themselves and the individuals they serve
