Readymade and memorable solutions
SAID
Participants in both arms indicated that they appreciated how the booklets served as a “solution bank” that offered specific solutions to common problems, as well as offering structured descriptions of problem‐solving steps. The P‐O‐D heuristic (“Problem – Options – Do it”) was perceived as being particularly memorable and helpful.In the booklets, it was explained how to relax oneself, I followed that and learned ways to calm and relax myself. I found the title ‘POD’ as most useful in working through problems… The booklets said that first, see what our problem is and understand it. Then, develop the ways in which we can solve the problem. Then ‘do it’ – meaning try them and see. And the booklets helped a lot because they made me realise that I need to bring some change in my thoughts… If there are problems, then we should understand them, and only after understanding our problems can we find a solution.
