Description
Evidence shows writing is good for us. The mystery is how writing facilitates and sustains health and wellbeing. Using a phenomenological salutogenic (strengths-based) theoretical framework, this study involved a four-month online writing group program. It supported participants to work on writing projects of their choice. Interviews with participants at four timepoints showed the program was life changing. The research resulted in the development of a model demonstrating how writing can achieve wellbeing: the LOCH model. The primary finding was the importance of languaging the feeling body through writing to health and wellbeing policy and practice.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
