ALONSO-AREVALO, Julio; FERNANDEZ-MARTIN, Celia Luz; MIRON CANELO, José Antonio e ALONSO-VAZQUEZ, Antía. Reading and its relation with the health and well-being of people. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.4, pp. 1-12. ISSN 2307-2113.
The aim of this study was to try to identify the elements of reading that involve us most powerfully in this activity, in order to determine how reading habits affect health. To this end, a survey was designed and distributed among people who habitually read, from the Autonomous Communities of Castilla y León, Extremadura, Madrid, and Asturias. In this, the respondents had to assess those aspects that they considered most important for them regarding reading: tranquility, fun, information, and others. Collected and analyzed 255 responses, the results highlight that, above traditional functions related to training and information, the respondents valued most the healing aspects of reading, such as alleviating loneliness, avoiding negative thoughts and managing emotions better.
