Abstract
In a widely cited 2017 study, Robinson et al. (2017) found that 'emotionally expressive' writing makes physical wounds heal faster when compared to writing that did not engage the emotions. The Writing Long COVID project at Aberystwyth University engaged similar territory in a recent pilot study. Participants' writing activities explored how literary production can affect a person's experience of this new chronic condition, as well as contribute to our understanding of its symptoms. In this short essay, I show how we designed a course of short-duration online workshops that increased accessibility for people with Long COVID-related fatigue. I also argue that future Long COVID creative activities should let their timing, venue, content, and structure be influenced by the preferences of the Long COVID patient. The preliminary study suggests that the traditional parameters of the writing workshop, including its duration, could deter participation in potentially beneficial creative activities.
在 2017 年一项被广泛引用的研究中，罗宾逊等人（2017 年）发现，与没有调动情感的写作相比，"情感表达型 "写作能使身体伤口愈合得更快。阿伯里斯特威斯大学的 "长期写作"（Writing Long COVID）项目在最近的一项试点研究中也涉及了类似的领域。参与者的写作活动探讨了文学创作如何影响人们对这种新型慢性疾病的体验，以及如何促进我们对其症状的理解。在这篇短文中，我将展示我们是如何设计一门短期在线研讨会课程，以提高长期慢性阻塞性肺病相关疲劳患者的可及性。我还认为，未来的 Long COVID 创造性活动应根据 Long COVID 患者的喜好来安排时间、地点、内容和结构。初步研究表明，写作工作坊的传统参数（包括持续时间）可能会阻碍人们参与可能有益的创造性活动。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
