Abstract

Objective: Study the auxiliary therapeutic effect of psychological counseling treatment after collective rehabilitation training of the patients with anxiety disorder.

Methods: 38 college students with anxiety disorder are randomly divided into an experiment group and a control group, each of which consists of 19 students. The experiment group only receives psychological counseling treatment; the control group, based on psychological counseling treatment, receives the collective rehabilitation training, that is, the joint therapy.

Results: before the treatment, the inter-group difference of the general data about the patients in 2 groups shows no statistically significance, P > 0.05, which is comparable; after 8 weeks' treatment, HAMA and SAS scores of the patients in 2 groups are significantly improved compared with those before treatment, P < 0.05; meanwhile, the improvement effect of the experiment group is better than that of the control group P < 0.05. After 3 months' follow-up, it is found that the recurrence rate of the experiment group is obviously lower than that of the control group P < 0.05.

Conclusion: the joint treatment, consisting of psychological counseling and collective rehabilitation training, exercises synergetic effect on the college students who are anxiety disorder patients and its curative effect is obviously superior to the single psychological counseling and its recurrence rate is low.
