Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of university library reading therapy on the mental health problems of college students through a meta-analysis. Eleven intervention studies (3480 college students) were included in the systematic search of relevant databases, and the RevMan 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that reading therapy could significantly improve the mental health of college students, and the effect was obvious when the intervention period reached three months, which could effectively alleviate anxiety symptoms. This study provides a theoretical basis for university libraries to conduct reading intervention activities and suggests that university libraries should actively promote reading therapy to improve the mental health of college students.
