Language communication barriers have a profound impact on the lives of individuals with autism, as they struggle to understand the verbal and nonverbal communication of others, and have weak adaptability. Studies have shown that painting can help individuals with autism release their inner emotions and stress, reduce anxiety and stereotyped behavior. The digital art team can provide patients with a non-verbal way of expression through art therapy, helping them release emotions and improve social interaction and communication skills. However, the actual application effect of digital art teams in the intervention of language communication disorders in autistic patients has not been verified. Therefore, the study will explore the intervention effect of digital art teams on language communication disorders in individuals with autism. Methods The study selected 65 autistic patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in a certain city from October 2019 to July 2023 as the research subjects, and divided them into an observation group (n=33) and a control group (n=32) using a random number table method. Patients in the control group received routine care, while patients in the observation group received art therapy from the digital art team on the basis of routine care. The experiment lasts for 2 months. The study used the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) to evaluate the degree of autism in autistic patients before and after treatment from four dimensions: language communication, physiology, cognitive ability, and social ability. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms. Results The ATEC scores of the two groups of patients before and after treatment are shown in Table 1. From Table 1, there was no statistically significant difference in ATEC scores between the two groups of patients before treatment (P>0.05). After two months of treatment, the ATEC scores of both groups of patients significantly decreased (P<0.05). And the scores of the observation group patients in the four dimensions of language communication, physiology, cognitive ability, and social ability were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Discussion Language communication skills disorder is a common and significant obstacle among individuals with autism. The experimental results show that the art therapy of digital art teams can effectively improve the language communication ability, cognitive ability, and social ability of autistic patients, and improve their autism symptoms. The research findings contribute to improving the quality of life and social functioning of individuals with autism, and provide an effective means of intervening in language communication disorders among individuals with autism.","PeriodicalId":21530,"journal":{"name":"Schizophrenia Bulletin","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This disease may cause patients to experience symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, confused thinking, and emotional dullness. The civil capacity of special groups of schizophrenia patients is difficult to determine due to the fluctuation of symptoms. The cognitive function and judgment ability of patients vary greatly at different times and situations, which can affect their ability to participate in social activities and also affect the determination of their civil capacity. Based on this, the study aims to explore the impact of schizophrenia on patients’ cognitive function, emotional state, and social adaptation ability by comparing the differences in civil capacity between schizophrenia patients and the general population. Methods A study selected 30 special group patients diagnosed with schizophrenia at a mental health center, including 15 males and 15 females, aged between 18 and 75 years old, covering early to old adulthood. Select another 30 normal special groups, with the same selection criteria as above. Participants meet the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the International Classification of Diseases. Ensure that all participants understand the research objectives and obtain written informed consent before participating in the study. Participants were randomly divided into an experimental group (schizophrenia patients) and a control group (normal population). Through a team composed of social psychology experts, psychiatrists, social workers, and clinical medicine experts, emotional state and cognitive function assessments were conducted on two groups of individuals, and their cognitive function, emotional state, social perception, and language expression abilities were comprehensively scored. The score ranges from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating better performance. Results The scores of various indicators before and after the experimental group and control group patients are shown in Table 1. According to Table 1, the control group scored 1.86 in cognitive function, while the experimental group scored 4.82. The control group scored 1.67 in terms of emotional state, while the experimental group scored 5.21. In terms of social perception, the control group had a score of 2.33, while the experimental group had a score of 5.16. In terms of language expression ability, the control group had a score of 1.44 and the experimental group had a score of 4.23. The statistical results showed a significant improvement in the civil capacity of the experimental group (P<0.001).

Patients generally have significant deficiencies in social functioning and cognitive abilities, with cognitive dysfunction being considered a core issue affecting their quality of life. Although traditional medication and psychological intervention can alleviate symptoms to some extent, their effectiveness in improving cognitive function is limited. In recent years, non-pharmacological intervention methods have gradually received attention, especially dance education. By combining physical movement, rhythm training, and emotional expression, it can not only promote the plasticity of brain cognitive function, but also provide patients with an educational and entertaining form of rehabilitation. Methods To systematically evaluate the improvement effect of dance education intervention combined with conventional psychotherapy on cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia, in order to provide new intervention strategies for clinical practice. The study recruited 62 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia as the research subjects. The research subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 31 people in each group. The experimental group received a 12-week dance education intervention in addition to routine psychiatric treatment. The dance course design is guided by patient abilities and covers three modules: body coordination training, rhythm development, and emotional expression. It is conducted three times a week, each lasting 60 minutes. The control group only received routine psychiatric treatment without any additional activity arrangements. Before and after intervention, patients’ cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Among them, MoCA is used to evaluate patients’ multidimensional cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and executive function; WCST focuses on testing classification ability and cognitive flexibility. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Firstly, paired sample t-test is used to analyze the cognitive function changes of each group of patients before and after intervention, and then independent sample t-test is used to compare the improvement differences between the two groups. Results The research results showed that the total score of MoCA in the experimental group significantly increased after intervention, from 22.1±3.2 to 26.5±2.8 (P<0.01), with significant improvements in cognitive dimensions such as executive function, attention, and memory. However, the control group only showed slight improvements in some indicators, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).

These disorders have a significant impact on patients’ daily life, work and social functioning. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia and is often difficult to completely alleviate with conventional drug treatment. In recent years, television media, as a popular multi-sensory stimulation method, has been gradually introduced into the field of mental health intervention. Through dual visual and auditory stimulation, television media helps enhance patients’ emotional resonance, cognitive abilities, and social adaptability. The study aims to evaluate the impact of television media-based auxiliary treatment on the recovery of cognitive functions in patients with schizophrenia, and to provide new ideas for future rehabilitation treatment of schizophrenia. Methods The study selected 60 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and randomly divided them into experimental groups and control groups, with 30 people in each group. The experimental group received TV media-assisted treatment for 8 weeks, 3 times a week, 60 minutes each time. The treatment content includes emotional expression, cognitive training, situation simulation, etc. By watching specially designed programs, the patient’s cognitive and emotional responses are stimulated, aiming to improve the patient’s social skills, emotional regulation and cognitive function. The control group continued to receive conventional medication and cognitive training. All patients were evaluated through the cognitive function scale and clinical symptom scale before and after the intervention. The evaluation content included the improvement of attention, memory, executive function and clinical symptoms to ensure the comprehensiveness and representativeness of various indicators. Results The experimental group showed significant improvements in all evaluation indicators after the intervention. Specifically, the attention score increased from 24.5 before intervention to 33.7 after intervention, with an improvement of 9.2 points (P < 0.05). The memory score increased from 25.3 to 34.2, an improvement of 8.9 points (P < 0.05). The executive function score increased from 26.1 to 35.1, an improvement of 9.0 points (P < 0.05). The clinical symptom score dropped from 48.3 to 32.5, an improvement of 15.8 points (P < 0.05).

Anxiety is a common issue among college students. Studies have shown that early anxiety does not require medication intervention, and psychological counseling alone can have a good relieving effect. In order to alleviate the inner anxiety of college students, psychological counseling and assistance services have gradually become an important psychological intervention method. The research aims to explore the alleviating effect of psychological counseling and assistance services on the inner anxiety of college students. Methods The study recruited 100 college students who self-reported anxiety as experimental subjects and divided them into an experimental group and a control group, with 50 students in each group. The experimental group received psychological counseling and assistance services. Psychological counseling assistance services mainly focus on face-to-face individual psychological counseling, supplemented by group psychological counseling. Each student receives a 40 minutes psychological counseling session once a week, which includes topics such as cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation techniques, and stress management. The control group maintained their regular academic schedule without any psychological intervention. The study conducted self-assessment anxiety scale (SAS) scores and emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ) scores on all participants before and after the intervention. Results The scoring results of the scale before and after the experiment are shown in Table 1. According to Table 1, the SAS score of the experimental group was as high as 45.85 ± 6.58 points before the experiment, and decreased to 35.94 ± 4.69 points after the experiment, with a statistical difference between the two (P < 0.05). At the same time, the ERQ score of the group before the experiment was only 3.24 ± 0.68 points, which increased to 4.85 ± 0.57 points after the experiment, with statistical differences (P < 0.05). The SAS score of the control group did not decrease but instead increased, while the ERQ score remained almost unchanged. In the inter group comparison, there was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in the SAS score and ERQ score between the two groups of participants after the experiment. Discussion The results show that students who received psychological counseling assistance services experienced a significant decrease in anxiety levels and a significant improvement in emotional regulation abilities. Through individual psychological counseling, college students can learn to recognize and regulate emotions, which is beneficial for enhancing their resilience in the face of academic and life pressures.

At present, the treatment for this anxiety symptom mainly includes medication and psychotherapy. Artistic art creation therapy, as a means of psychological treatment, is a conscious intervention by professionals using art forms and creative processes to patients. Past studies have noted that the effects of different art therapies are comparable, but the impact on emotional symptoms in patients with schizophrenia has been less studied. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of combining artistic art creation activities with paroxetine therapy on relieving anxiety symptoms in stable schizophrenic anxiety students. Methods From October 2022 to March 2023, 600 long-stay schizophrenic patients in a hospital were selected as study subjects. A total of 60 student patients with Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores ranging from 50 to 69 were selected and randomly assigned to the control group and intervention group, with 30 students in each group. The control group participated in the routine rehabilitation activities organized by the hospital, and took paroxetine regularly according to the doctor’s advice, the treatment cycle was 6 weeks. In addition to the control group, the intervention group received art therapy, that is, art creation therapy. The treatment was performed twice a week for an hour each time for a total of six weeks. During the painting process, patients are encouraged to freely express their inner feelings, including emotions such as worry, happiness or hope. Results Table 1 shows how the SAS scores of the two groups compare. At the beginning of treatment, the mean SAS score in the intervention group was 63.21±2.85; The average score in the control group was 63.52±2.87. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in SAS scores between the two groups before treatment (t=0.914, P=0.187). By the third week of treatment, SAS scores in the intervention group had decreased to 54.72±2.90, compared to 59.97±3.52 in the control group. At this point in time, there was a significant difference in scores between the two groups (t=7.693, P=0.000). At the sixth week of treatment, SAS scores in the intervention group were further reduced to 39.87±4.87, and the difference was also statistically significant (t=6.403, P=0.000). Discussion The results of this study show that the creation of artistic works has a significant effect on improving the anxiety symptoms of schizophrenia patients in a stable period. This kind of artistic creation, as a cognitive behavioral training, can improve patients’ self-confidence and self-efficacy, reduce their negative evaluation of their own abilities, and effectively reduce anxiety levels.

Although the symptoms of patients have been alleviated during rehabilitation, they still face challenges in the recovery of social and cognitive functions, and are susceptible to external stimuli. The lack of communication and social support during the recovery period may aggravate and worsen the condition. Outward bound training, as an experiential learning activity, can promote patients’ teamwork, self-confidence and self-efficacy, and has a potential positive effect on improving patients’ social function and mental health. The aim of the study was to explore how outreach training can improve patients’ mental health and reduce anxiety and depression levels by enhancing their self-confidence, social skills and coping abilities. Methods From January 2022 to March 2023, 60 patients with schizophrenia admitted to the Third Hospital of Zhuzhou City were selected as the observation group. Meanwhile, a group of volunteers with similar health conditions were selected as the control group. The SCL-90 Symptom Checklist was used in the study to assess the psychological health status of participants. The students in the experimental group underwent a two-day, 8-10 hours, 12 weeks expansion training program over the weekend. The training content includes orienteering, jungle exploration, wilderness camping, as well as field projects such as horizontal bars, bridge crossings, and winding trails. The control group of students maintained their regular physical education schedule, twice a week, which included aerobics, athletics, football, basketball, and more. Results From Table 1, it can be seen that before intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of each factor of the symptom self-assessment scale between the experimental group and the control group (P values were all greater than 0.05). After 12 weeks of expansion training, the experimental group showed significantly lower scores in all factors compared to the control group (P values were all less than 0.01), especially in the reduction of hostile factors.

Traditional treatment methods mainly focus on medication and psychotherapy, but rarely involve cultural and artistic interventions. As a comprehensive cultural resource, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) under the educational concept of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics Education (STEAM) has the potential to relieve stress and improve mental health. By integrating ICH into the STEAM education framework and exploring its stress relief effect on schizophrenia patients, it is helpful to provide new ideas and methods for mental treatment. Methods Fifty schizophrenia patients were selected and randomly divided into an ICH intervention group and a control group, with 25 patients in each group. The ICH intervention group participated in a 12-week training by participating in an ICH course with traditional crafts, folk music and dance as the content. The course combined the STEAM education concept and emphasized hands-on operation and artistic creation. The control group continued to receive conventional drug treatment and psychological intervention. Before and after the study, the stress level and symptom changes were evaluated by the Stress Assessment Scale (SAS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Results The results showed that the intangible cultural heritage intervention significantly reduced the psychological stress of patients with schizophrenia and improved the patients’ positive symptoms and overall symptom performance. See Table 1 for specific data. As can be seen from Table 1, the improvement in the stress score of the intangible cultural heritage intervention group was 13.7 points, from 42.3 points to 28.6 points (P < 0.05), and the positive symptom score dropped from 16.4 points to 12.3 points (P < 0.05).

Results The total score of the SCAS for the experimental group patients significantly increased from 45.3±5.6 to 60.8±6.2 after intervention (P<0.01), while the control group only slightly increased from 44.8±5.4 to 46.2±5.8, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). In the core dimensions, the emotional recognition score of the experimental group patients increased from 14.2±2.1 to 19.1±2.4 (P<0.01), social reasoning increased from 16.3±3.2 to 22.5±3.5 (P<0.01), and intention understanding increased from 14.8±2.3 to 19.2±2.7 (P<0.01). The improvement of the control group in these dimensions was relatively small and not statistically significant (P>0.05). The results of the FEQQ showed that the experimental group had a pre-intervention score of 32.4±4.5, which significantly increased to 46.7±5.3 after intervention (P<0.01), while the control group only slightly increased from 33.0±4.2 to 33.8±4.6 (P>0.05). The experimental results showed that sociological intervention in family education significantly improved patients’ social thinking ability and the quality of family education, providing effective s","PeriodicalId":21530,"journal":{"name":"Schizophrenia Bulletin","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
