Abstract
We examined the effectiveness of Naikan Therapy for reducing stress related to the Covid-19 pandemic. We performed Naikan therapy for 12 patients who visited our hospital during the pandemic, and we asked them to complete the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ12), and a separate questionnaire for Covid-19. The results showed a significant improvement in the overall GHQ12 score. In addition, all of the questionnaire items showed significant improvement, except for item 4. The results suggest that Naikan Therapy is effective in reducing stress related to Covid-19.
