Background With the continuous economic growth and the rapid development of urbanization, people are facing a tense pace of life. The pressure in work, study and life seriously affects people’s mental health. The denseness of the urban environment and the fast-paced lifestyle may lead to increased mental stress among residents. The natural restorative environment of green smart cities improves people’s physical and mental health by providing ecological goods and services, relieving stress, and promoting physical activity and social interaction. In order to reveal the time-specific correlation between urban environment and brain structure and function, mental health status and neuropsychological assessment of young people, this study combed the existing researches from four dimensions: smart city green space, population attributes and characteristics, research methods and stress measurement, aiming to provide reference for the research on mental stress relief. Methods The study selected residents from Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Guangdong, and Nanning, Guangxi as research subjects. In the preliminary survey (pre-test), a total of 336 questionnaires were collected, while in the subsequent survey (post test), 300 questionnaires were collected. After matching, 256 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. The study used the Brief Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) to assess the psychological health status of participants. After the questionnaire collection is completed, use SPSS 26.0 software for data entry and analysis. In the data analysis stage, Harman single factor test is used to evaluate whether there are significant common method biases in the questionnaire results. Results In order to explore the causal relationship between green natural exposure, artificial outdoor exposure, and residents’ mental health, researchers conducted correlation analysis on pre - and post test data. The analysis found that there was no significant correlation between the artificial outdoor environment and residents’ levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, while the green natural environment was significantly correlated with these dimensions of mental health (P<0.05). Figure 1 shows the cross-lag analysis results of the relationship between green smart city environment and residents’ mental stress disorders, indicating a significant negative correlation between “green natural exposure T1” and “mental stress level T2”, while the correlation between “mental stress level T1” and “green natural exposure T2” is not significant. This indicates that green natural contact is a pre factor affecting residents’ mental stress levels. Discussion This study analyzed the cross lagged correlation between the environment of green smart cities and residents’ mental stress levels. Compared with artificial outdoor environments, the exposure to green natural environments is more related to residents’ mental health. The pre-test of green natural contact showed a significant n

Background Schizophrenia significantly impairs patients’ social functioning, including social interaction, work ability, and daily living skills. Among these, the damage to social functioning is a crucial barrier in the recovery process of patients with schizophrenia. In recent years, Digital Media Art (DMA) has been introduced as an innovative therapeutic approach for patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the impact of DMA on the social functioning of patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods The study included 100 patients, aged 25 to 60, diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia, with a duration of illness exceeding five years. Patients were randomly divided into Group A (n=50) and Group B (n=50). Group A received standard treatment, while Group B received standard treatment plus a 12-week DMA intervention. The intervention included creative activities using digital tools twice a week. The Scale for the Assessment of Social Functioning (SASF) was used to assess patients’ social functioning, and the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was used to evaluate cognitive functioning. Data were analyzed using mixed-design ANOVA to compare changes in social and cognitive functioning over time between the two groups. Results The SASF score of group A increased from 57.9 to 63.5 before the intervention. The SASF score of group B increased from 58.2 to 82.4 before the intervention. Group B showed a significant improvement in social functioning (F (1,98) =23.45, P<0.001) and cognitive functioning (F (1,98) =15.67, P<0.001) compared to group A. The SASF score of group B increased from 58.2 to 82.4 before the intervention. Before the intervention, the MCCB score was 65.4 in group A and 64.8 in group B. The difference was not significant (P>0.05). After the intervention, group A scored 69.2 on the MCCB and group B scored 76.3, with a significant difference (P<0.05). The effect sizes of the intervention were more pronounced for social functioning in group B (Cohen’s d=0.89) and more moderate for cognitive functioning (Cohen’s d=0.58). On attention/vigilance (MCCB subscale), the average score for Group A improved only from 8.0 to 8.8, while the average score for Group B improved from 8.1 to 9.5. Subgroup analyses showed that younger patients (<40 years) benefited more from the DMA intervention in terms of social perception and facial emotion recognition. 76% of patients in group A were satisfied with the treatment, and 97% of patients in group B were satisfied with the DMA intervention. Discussion The findings suggest that DMA intervention can significantly enhance the social and cognitive functioning of patients with chronic schizophrenia. The creative and participatory nature of the intervention may provide a motivational boost, leading to better social engagement and cognitive stimulation. The differential effects based on age highlight the importance of tailored interventions. The study’s

Background The clinical manifestations of schizophrenia include perceptual disorders in thinking, emotions, behavior, and lack of coordination in mental activities. The patient population of schizophrenia is mostly young adults, who often suffer from cognitive impairment and mental disabilities due to abnormal factors, environmental factors, and the influence of brain structure. In the intervention of schizophrenia, art design therapy is an emerging nursing intervention method, and aerobic exercise has achieved many results in the intervention of mental illness. The quality of art and design can improve the quality of life of patients by meeting their emotional needs and psychological state, while aerobic exercise can enhance their mentality and self-control ability by strengthening brain neurotransmitters and blood circulation. Therefore, the study will focus on patients with schizophrenia to explore the intervention of art design therapy combined with aerobic exercise on schizophrenia and its impact on patients’ physical health. Methods The study focused on 78 patients with schizophrenia. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 39 cases in each group. Two groups were set as the control group and the experimental group, with the control group receiving routine nursing interventions. On the basis of drug intervention and environmental care in the control group, the experimental group added intervention elements of artistic design and aerobic exercise. The intervention lasted for 3 months, and after the intervention, the Brief Psychiatric Assessment Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to evaluate the intervention status and physical health of patients in the experimental group and control group, respectively. Results In the experiment, the study compared the anxiety, depression, thinking disorders, and sleep quality indicators of the control group and the experimental group before and after intervention. The specific results are shown in Table 1. From Table 1, it can be seen that after three months of intervention, the anxiety, depression, thinking disorders, and sleep quality indicators of the control group all decreased, but the intervention effect of the experimental group was more significant, with a greater decrease in evaluation indicators. In terms of anxiety and depression indicators, the control group decreased from 22.45±2.24 to 19.34±3.49, while the experimental group decreased from 22.34±2.48 before intervention to 17.16±3.24, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). At the same time, in terms of cognitive impairment indicators, the index of the control group decreased from 23.42±3.53 to 18.63±2.36, while the index of the experimental group decreased from 23.51±2.63 to 15.38±2.94. Finally, in terms of sleep quality indicators, the control group decreased from 2.59±0.24 to 1.79±0.36, while the experimental group decreased from 2.61±0.25 to 1.37±0.54.

Background At present, mental health problems have become the main influencing factors affecting the life and study of college students. Psychological anxiety, as a common psychological problem, has had an adverse effect on students’ learning, life and social adaptability. Traditional mental health treatment methods are mostly based on psychological counseling and drug therapy. However, sports, as a non-drug intervention method, have the advantages of low cost and easy implementation in relieving students’ psychology, so it has received widespread attention. Basketball is widely loved by college students because of its moderate intensity and strong fun. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effect of basketball physical training on relieving college students’ psychological anxiety and provide new reference directions for mental health intervention in physical education teaching. Methods The study selected 60 college students with psychological anxiety in a certain university, and used the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) to screen the psychological anxiety of college students, and included students with scores above 50 points in the study. All subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 30 people in each group. The experimental group received special basketball physical training intervention, while the control group only participated in regular sports activities and did not receive special basketball physical training intervention. The study used the SAS scale to evaluate the psychological anxiety levels of the experimental group and the control group, and tested their psychological anxiety in different cycles of sports intervention. At the same time, the emotional changes and sports participation of the two groups of students during the training process were observed. Results The study compared the SAS assessment results of the two groups of patients and analyzed the scale scores of college students under exercise intervention at different periods, as shown in Table 1. Can be seen from Table 1, under different periods of intervention, when the intervention period was 12 weeks, the subject’s scale score was the lowest at only 40.5±3.1, which shows that the psychological anxiety of the subject has been significantly improved after the exercise intervention. At the same time, the scale score of the control group subjects after 12 weeks of exercise intervention was 47.8±3.4, which also shows that exercise intervention can improve the psychological anxiety of college students, but its effect is not as obvious as basketball intervention. Discussion Research results show that basketball physical training can effectively alleviate the psychological anxiety of college students. Although the results of the study can show that basketball physical training has a significant effect on alleviating psychological anxiety among college students, the sample size of the current study is small and single. Therefore, in sub

Background With the intensification of social competition and the acceleration of people’s pace of life, college students are facing unprecedented pressure. According to relevant survey data in China, over 70% of college students experience varying degrees of psychological pressure, with about 20% of students having significant psychological disorders. Psychological pressure and obstacles not only affect the learning, life, and interpersonal communication of college students, but may also have a negative impact on their future development. Psychological counseling, as an effective psychological intervention method, has achieved good results in helping individuals cope with psychological stress. In this context, the study aims to explore the positive intervention effect of psychological counseling strategies combined with social support on stress disorders in college students, with the hope of providing new ideas and methods for the intervention of psychological stress disorders in college students. Methods This study involved 200 college students with stress disorders, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group, with 100 participants in each group. Before the experiment, a comprehensive psychological assessment was conducted using the “Self Rating Scale for Stress Disorders in College Students”, with a scoring range of [0,5]. The higher the score, the more severe the stress disorder. The experimental group adopted a psychological counseling strategy combined with social support for a period of 8 weeks. Two weeks before the experiment, psychological counselors had one-on-one conversations with college students twice a week for 60 minutes each time to understand background information and establish trust. During weeks 3-8, develop personalized plans based on evaluations, encourage participation in club activities, and incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy and teaching coping skills. During weeks 4-7, provide the experimental group of college students with 30 minutes communication support with family and friends every 2 weeks. The control group used the same psychological counseling strategy as the experimental group, but did not involve social support interventions. The counseling frequency was once a week, 60 minutes each time, lasting for 8 weeks. Results The pre intervention stress disorder score of the experimental group was 3.5 ± 0.6 points, and the post intervention stress disorder score was 2.1 ± 0.4 points. The difference before and after intervention was statistically significant (P<0.01). The pre intervention stress disorder score of the control group was 3.6 ± 0.5, and the post intervention stress disorder score was 2.8 ± 0.5. The difference before and after intervention was statistically significant (P<0.01). After intervention, the stress disorder scores of the experimental group and the control group showed statistical significance (P<0.01). Discussion The psychological counseling strategy c

Background Schizophrenia, as a serious mental disorder, has a profound impact on the psychological health and social functioning of patients. Traditional medication treatment ignores the psychological health of patients and affects their comprehensive recovery. In recent years, the application of positive psychology theory in mental health education has gradually received attention. Related studies have shown that interventions guided by positive psychology theory can effectively enhance the happiness and motivation of patients with schizophrenia, improve their health status, and reduce the incidence of depression and disease recurrence. Therefore, the study mainly explored the application effect of positive psychology health education in the rehabilitation nursing of patients with schizophrenia. Methods The study selected 100 schizophrenia patients recruited from a certain hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 as research subjects, and divided them into an experimental group and a control group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group only received conventional psychiatric medication treatment, while the experimental group added 2 sessions of positive psychology education courses per week on top of the control group, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Among them, psychological therapy courses mainly include positive emotions, personal strengths and virtues, interpersonal relationships, happiness and life satisfaction, meaning and goals, etc. The treatment period is 14 weeks, and the life satisfaction scale, Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS), and Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) are used as evaluation criteria before and after treatment. Results The experimental results can be obtained from the life satisfaction, SAPS, and SANS scale scores of schizophrenia patients in the experimental and control groups before and after a 14-week intervention treatment. The experimental group using positive psychology education curriculum therapy showed significant improvements in life satisfaction, SAPS, and SANS scale scores, and the improvement effect was significantly better than that of the control group. Among them, in the early stage of intervention, the life satisfaction scale score of the experimental group was 62.89 ± 5.87 points, which increased to 69.37 ± 2.11 points after intervention, and there was a statistical difference between the two (P<0.05). At the same time, the SAPS score of the experimental group was significantly reduced before and after intervention, with a certain statistical significance (P<0.05), while the SANS score was significantly improved, with statistical differences (P<0.05). In addition, in the inter group comparison, the experimental group showed certain optimization effects on the scores of various scales after intervention compared to the control group.

Traditional medication treatment ignores the psychological health of patients and affects their comprehensive recovery. In recent years, the application of positive psychology theory in mental health education has gradually received attention. Related studies have shown that interventions guided by positive psychology theory can effectively enhance the happiness and motivation of patients with schizophrenia, improve their health status, and reduce the incidence of depression and disease recurrence. Therefore, the study mainly explored the application effect of positive psychology health education in the rehabilitation nursing of patients with schizophrenia. Methods The study selected 100 schizophrenia patients recruited from a certain hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 as research subjects, and divided them into an experimental group and a control group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group only received conventional psychiatric medication treatment, while the experimental group added 2 sessions of positive psychology education courses per week on top of the control group, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Among them, psychological therapy courses mainly include positive emotions, personal strengths and virtues, interpersonal relationships, happiness and life satisfaction, meaning and goals, etc. The treatment period is 14 weeks, and the life satisfaction scale, Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS), and Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) are used as evaluation criteria before and after treatment.

Background In the field of mental disorders, early intervention is widely recognized as an important strategy to improve long-term outcomes and social functioning of patients. Research shows that people with psychosis often face a significant decline in social functioning after experiencing an episode, affecting their quality of life and social adjustment. As an effective means of early intervention, psychological education intervention has attracted more and more researchers’ attention in recent years. Psychological education can not only help patients and their families understand the nature of the disease and treatment options, but also enhance patients’ coping ability and social skills, and provide support for the recovery of their social functions. However, there is still a lack of systematic empirical research on the specific effects of psychoeducational intervention on the recovery of social function in psychiatric patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early psychoeducational intervention on the recovery of social function in psychiatric patients and to provide empirical support for future treatment programs. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was used to recruit 120 patients diagnosed with psychosis, who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received three months of psychological education intervention, including pathological knowledge teaching, coping skills training and social ability improvement. The control group received only the usual drug treatment. Before the study began, all participants completed an assessment questionnaire on social functioning, covering multiple dimensions of social interaction, occupational functioning, and daily life. At the end of the intervention, the participants completed the same assessments again to assess changes in social functioning. In order to ensure the reliability of the data, a mixture of required evaluation tools was used during the study, and the statistical data were rigorously analyzed. SPSS software was used for data processing, and T-test and ANOVA were applied to compare the differences between the two groups. Results The results showed that the social functioning scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group after the intervention (P<0.001). Specifically, the improvement of social communication ability is the most obvious, followed by occupational function and daily life ability. In addition, the experimental group showed significant improvement in the scores after the intervention, especially in social skills and coping skills (P<0.01), while the control group showed no significant change in these dimensions (P>0.05). Overall, early psycho-educational intervention significantly promoted the recovery of social function in psychiatric patients.

Background In the clinical management of schizophrenia, patients belonging to special populations, including the elderly, adolescents, and those with comorbid conditions, often face unique challenges. These challenges extend beyond the diagnosis and treatment of the disease to include impairments in cognitive functions that affect memory, attention, and executive functions, thereby impacting their daily living and work capabilities. Ethical issues are particularly prominent in the medical decision-making process, especially when dealing with informed consent, respecting patient autonomy, and safeguarding the best interests of the patient. For these special populations, balancing these ethical principles to ensure appropriate treatment and care is particularly urgent. Therefore, the study aims to address the cognitive health and ethical issues in medical decision-making for special populations of schizophrenia patients. Methods The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of cognitive health indicators with qualitative assessment of ethical challenges in medical decision-making. The study included 150 schizophrenia patients from a specialized psychiatric clinic, with a focus on the elderly (aged 60 and above). Cognitive health was assessed using the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). Ethical challenges were evaluated through semi-structured interviews with patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Results Quantitative analyses showed that a special group of schizophrenics showed significant impairments in all seven cognitive domains of the MCCB compared to the normal population. In terms of assessing the speed at which things are done, the average score of the patients was 58.3±12.4, which was significantly different from the normal population (P<0.001). For working memory, the average score of the patients was 52.1±10.8, again significantly different from the normal population (P<0.001). The average score for executive functions in the patient group was 49.5±11.2, which was significantly different from the normal population (P<0.001). Qualitative analysis revealed ethical challenges faced in medical decision-making, including the difficulty of obtaining informed consent, balancing patient autonomy with the necessity of medical intervention, and the impact of comorbidities on treatment choices. Additionally, the study found significant differences in healthcare utilization and costs among special populations. The average healthcare utilization rate for the special population was 42.6%, lower than the general population’s 58.9% (P<0.05). The average annual cost of healthcare for the special population was $12,345, higher than the general population’s $9,876 (P<0.05).

Background Schizophrenia is a group of serious mental diseases that often occur in young adults. At present, the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has not been fully defined, and it is believed that it is influenced by genetic, neurobiological, environmental and psychosocial factors. Risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole and other drugs can regulate the function of neurotransmitters and relieve mental symptoms to a certain extent. However, long-term medication can easily lead to reduced adherence to the drug and damage to other body functions. At present, various psychological AIDS have been applied to the treatment of various mental and psychological diseases in clinical research, among which the clinical effect of art therapy has been widely concerned. Art therapy can improve the physiological, psychological, life and social states of participants through painting, music gardening, handwork and other forms, but its intervention effect in the emotional regulation of schizophrenia patients has not been proven, so this study applies art therapy to the intervention of schizophrenia to investigate its impact on patients’ emotions. Methods Fifty patients who met the third edition of Chinese Classification and Diagnosis criteria for schizophrenia were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The control group received conventional treatment without any other form of psychological intervention. The experimental group received art therapy as defined by the British Association of Art Therapists for intervention, 120min twice a week for 6 months. Scale scores were performed for two types of treatment: Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Patient Health Questionnaired-9, PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), Emotional Expressivity Scale (GAD-7), EES), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), which were conducted at various stages before, during and after the intervention, and data analysis was performed using SPSS25.0 software. Results The difference of treatment means made the scale score different between groups. Compared with the control group, the experimental group’s DERS scale was significant after the third month (P<0.05), and finally achieved a DERS scale score of 37.164 after the intervention, and the emotional regulation ability was significantly improved. The scores of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scales decreased in both groups, but the scores of the two scales in the art therapy intervention group decreased by 17.164 and 11.467 points, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.05). At the same time, in the two dimensions of positive emotion and negative emotion, the positive emotion of the experimental group was stronger, the negative emotion was weaker, and the emotional positivity was stronger than that of the control group (P<0.05). Finally, the EES score of the experimental group increased from (47.116±2.496) to (54.794±3.467), whi

Background Depression is a common mental illness characterized by persistent low mood, cognitive dysfunction, and impaired social functioning. In recent years, with the rapid development of digital media technologies, using these technologies to study the changes of emotional and cognitive functions has become a new research direction. Digital media technologies such as digital applications, online assessment tools and biofeedback devices, which provide real-time data collection and analysis, offer innovative approaches to depression assessment and intervention. These techniques not only help researchers gain a deeper understanding of the emotional experience and cognitive function of people with depression, but also support the development of personalized treatment programs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the emotional state and cognitive function performance of patients with depression by using digital media technology. Methods The study was designed using a hybrid approach, combining quantitative and qualitative studies, to gain insight into the emotional and cognitive functions of patients with depression. Taking 160 patients diagnosed with depression who were treated at a mental health center, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) meets the DSM-5 criteria for depression. Participants were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=50, receiving the digital media technology intervention) and a control group (n=50, receiving the usual treatment). Groups are grouped using a computer-generated list of random numbers to ensure that the two groups match on baseline features. Prior to the study, all participants completed a self-rated questionnaire on depressive symptoms and daily mood performance, including the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). At the end of the 12-week intervention, all participants filled out the Hamilton Depression Scale again, and cognitive function was assessed via an online cognitive platform. Results The score results of the two groups of patients before and after the experimental intervention are shown in Table 1. The baseline HAM-D score of the experimental group was 22.5 points, which decreased to 12.3 points after 12 weeks, with a mean change range of 45.5%. The statistical results showed significant changes in depressive symptoms in the group (P<0.001). The experimental group had a baseline cognitive function score of 72.8, which improved slightly to 74.0 after 12 weeks, a change of only 1.6%. Showed little substantial improvement in cognitive function in the control group. Discussion The results of the study support the validity of using digital media techniques to analyze mood and cognitive function in patients with depression. Through precise data collection and analysis, the study revealed a close relationship between mood swings and cognitive function in patients with depression, suggesting that emotion management may be an important way to impr
