The effect of bibliotherapy using recommender systems on stress reduction and depression treatment

Literature shows bibliotherapy can be helpful for moderate depression treatment. The aim of this systematic review is to verify the long-term effects of bibliotherapy. Methods : With the help of the Study Recommendation System (CBF method), we seek to relieve stress in adolescents. Accordingly, we have attempted to introduce the best study articles with soothing effects and motivate the user to study.Results: The treatment was compared to standard treatments or no intervention in all studies. After long-term period follow-ups, six studies, including adults, reported a decrease of depressive symptoms.Conclusion: The results of the present review suggest that bibliotherapy could play an important role in the treatment of a serious mental health issue. Further studies should be conducted to strengthen the evidence of bibliotherapy s efficacy. The recommended articles for users were able to increase their study motivation by an average of 3.1 (out of 2) and to record a stress-reducing effect by an average of 3.1 (out of 1). This experiment shows that the online study recommendation system can be effective in relieving adolescent stress.
