The analysis of studies on bibliotherapy showed that the cognition of bibliotherapy was poor in medical staff and patients, the number of studies on the theory of bibliotherapy was greater than that on the application of bibliotherapy in clinical practice, the service methods and platforms were insufficient, the education levels of patients were various, the majority of librarians involved in bibliotherapy were poor in medical knowledge .The methods for implementing a new bibliotherapy model were therefore put forward based on the common participation of librarians, ward assistants , psychological physicians and patients , and the effects of bibliotherapy for readers were assessed using the self-designed reading efficiency scale, SAS, SDS, and t test, respectively, according to the psychological prin-ciples of bibliotherapy .

Objective Conducting reading therapy to enrich the content of health education, to meet the knowledge needs of the patients during hospitalization and to enhance the patients'confidence with diseases, thus to improve patients' the quality of life and satisfaction. Methods Patients with breast cancer who had surgery were selected between January 2014 to December 2014. They were randomly divided into the control group ( traditional health education ) and the intervention group according to the random number method. Patients in the intervention group read the related information provided by the research team, coached, information platform and salon during perioperative and rehabilitation period. They selected the method of"read-centric and interactive reading therapy" which is combined with each as intervention. Results No statistic difference was found between the scores of SAS and SDS on admission (P>0. 05). After the reading therapy, scores of SAS and SDS were (44. 02 ± 4. 81), (45. 66 ± 3. 78) and were all lower than those in the control group (64.52 ±6.89) and (63.67 ±4.92) (t=17.25, 18.25;P<0.05). The satisfactions of the patients and their families in the intervention group were (97. 6 ± 2. 1), which were higher than that in the control group (91.4 ± 1. 2). The difference was statistically significant (t = -18. 13,P <0. 05). Conclusions Using reading therapy in breast cancer patients during perioperative period can be in line with modern "biology-psychology-social medicine" model, provide effective measures for health education and psychological care, enrich the forms and content of health education, significantly improve patients' and their families' satisfaction and mental state during perioperative and rehabilitation period. And it makes psychological care of cancer patients more feasible.
