Abstract
Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) among adolescents is a significant mental health concern that can hinder their social and emotional development. This study explores the positive effects of a psychosocial therapy model based on the news media context for treating social anxiety disorder in adolescents. Subjects and Methods A randomized controlled trial design was employed, involving 120 adolescents diagnosed with SAD. Participants were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received the psychosocial therapy model based on the news media context, while the control group received standard treatment. The Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQ) and the 3-min Confusion Assessment Scale (3D-CAM) were utilized to assess anxiety levels and cognitive functioning, respectively. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS23.0 software. Results The results indicated significant reductions in anxiety levels within the intervention group compared to the control group ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, cognitive functioning, as assessed by the 3D-CAM, showed significant improvement in the intervention group ( P < 0.05). Participants in the intervention group reported increased self-confidence, improved social skills, and decreased social anxiety symptoms. Conclusions The psychosocial therapy model based on the news media context demonstrated positive effects in the treatment of social anxiety disorder among adolescents. The findings suggest that incorporating news media scenarios into therapy can enhance the overall treatment outcomes, including anxiety reduction and cognitive improvement. This integrated approach has the potential to positively impact adolescents’ social functioning and emotional well-being. Further research is warranted to validate and expand upon these findings.
期刊介绍:
CNS Spectrums covers all aspects of the clinical neurosciences, neurotherapeutics, and neuropsychopharmacology, particularly those pertinent to the clinician and clinical investigator. The journal features focused, in-depth reviews, perspectives, and original research articles. New therapeutics of all types in psychiatry, mental health, and neurology are emphasized, especially first in man studies, proof of concept studies, and translational basic neuroscience studies. Subject coverage spans the full spectrum of neuropsychiatry, focusing on those crossing traditional boundaries between neurology and psychiatry.
