摘要

摘要本研究评估了心理教育是否能显著减轻尼日利亚青少年的焦虑症状。在Spence儿童焦虑量表（SCAS）中排名最高的40名青少年来自两所学校（干预学校和对照学校各20名）。干预组接受了三次关于焦虑和放松技巧的小组心理教育。参与者年龄为13-16岁年，由12对雄性和28对雌性组成。在控制基线SCAS评分的情况下，心理教育干预在减少焦虑方面无效{F（1,36）=1.56，p = 0.22}。缺乏疗效可能是由于参与者的基线焦虑评分非常高。

A controlled clinical trial of a brief psycho-educational intervention for anxiety among in-school adolescents in Nigeria

Abstract This study evaluated if psycho-education can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms among Nigerian adolescents. Forty adolescents with highest ranked scores on the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) were selected from two schools (20 each from intervention and control schools). The intervention group received three sessions of group-based psycho-education about anxiety and relaxation techniques. Participants were aged 13–16 years and consisted of 12 male and 28 female pairs. Controlling for baseline SCAS scores, the psycho-educational intervention was not effective in reducing anxiety {F(1,36) = 1.56, p = 0.22}. The lack of efficacy may be due to participants’ very high baseline anxiety scores.
