Background Psychiatric diseases seriously affect the cognitive, emotional and social functions of patients. Traditional treatment methods such as drug therapy and psychotherapy have been effective in improving the symptoms of patients, but there are still limitations. In recent years, art therapy has attracted more and more attention. Film and television animation, as an art form with rich expression and appeal, has gradually been recognized for its potential value in emotional regulation and cognitive guidance. In view of the limitations of the systematic application of film and television animation in the treatment of psychiatric patients, this study explores the auxiliary role of film and television animation in the treatment of psychiatric patients, aiming to open up a new path for psychiatric treatment, enrich treatment methods, and improve the rehabilitation effect and quality of life of patients. Methods The study selected 120 psychiatric patients as research objects, randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 60 people in each group. On the basis of conventional drug treatment, the experimental group watched carefully selected film and television animation three times a week for 30 minutes each time, while the control group only received conventional drug treatment, the experiment period was three months. The experiment was evaluated by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). In addition, the Generic Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI) questionnaire was used to conduct a questionnaire survey, and the psychological state, quality of life and satisfaction of patients were regularly assessed. Meanwhile, the changes of physiological indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure of patients before and after watching film and television animation were recorded and analyzed. All participants signed informed consent and strictly followed ethical principles during the experiment. Results The study data showed that after the experimental group watched carefully selected film and television animations for eight consecutive weeks, the HAMA score decreased by an average of 23% and the HAMD score decreased by an average of 27%. In the control group, HAMA and HAMD scores decreased by 8% and 12% respectively (P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. GQOLI scores in the experimental group increased by an average of 15 points, but only increased by 5 points in the control group, the difference was also significant (P<0.05). In the experimental group, heart rate dropped by an average of 5 beats per minute, systolic blood pressure dropped by an average of 10mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure dropped by an average of 5 MMHG. Discussion Research has confirmed the auxiliary role of film and television animation in the treatment of psychiatric patients, and future studies can further explore the influence of different types of film and television animation on the therapeutic ef

Background The high-pressure environment of modern society has led to increasingly serious mental health problems among college students, such as anxiety, depression, and mood swings, which have become important factors affecting their academic performance and quality of life. Sport is widely recognized as an economical and easy-to-implement mental health intervention, and studies have shown that sport not only enhances mental toughness by increasing physical fitness, but also regulates psychological states by releasing stress hormones and neurotransmitters that promote positive emotions. However, the mechanisms by which different exercise modes and intensities affect emotional regulation have not been fully clarified. The study aims to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on college students’ emotion regulation and mental health, and to provide a scientific basis for mental health interventions in colleges and universities. Methods The study was conducted on 200 college students of a university with an age range of 18 to 25 years old, with a balanced gender ratio, who volunteered to participate in the study and had no history of major physical or mental illnesses. The participants were randomized into experimental and control groups, 100 in each group. The experimental group received an eight-week physical activity intervention consisting of three 60-minute sessions of aerobic exercise per week, including running, calisthenics, and basketball, while the control group maintained their study and lifestyle habits and did not participate in any systematic physical activity intervention. Before and after the intervention, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) were used to measure the emotion regulation ability and mental health of the two groups of students. Data were analyzed for intervention effects by paired t-tests, with P<0.05 as the criterion for significance. Results The results of the experiment showed that the physical education and sport intervention had a significant effect on both emotional regulation and mental health of the university students. The ERQ scores of the experimental group increased from 14.3±3.2 before the intervention to 22.7±4.1 after the intervention, while the ERQ scores of the control group only increased from 14.5±3.4 to 15.2±3.5, which was not a significant difference. The results of mental health assessment showed that the GHQ score of the experimental group decreased from 18.5±6.3 to 12.1±5.7, which was significantly better than that of the control group. The experimental group showed a significant decrease in the indicators of psychological stress and negative emotions (P<0.01), demonstrating a stronger ability to regulate emotions.

Background Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by cognitive impairments, emotional dysregulation, and social cognition deficits, severely affecting patients’ quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies, especially art therapy, have gained attention for their creativity and psychological intervention. Ink painting therapy, part of Chinese culture, may positively impact emotional control and social cognition in patients through the expression and regulation of emotions in painting. Research on its therapeutic effects is scarce; this study aims to explore its impact on schizophrenia patients’ emotional stability and social cognition, offering new clinical treatment approaches. Methods The study included 120 patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=60) and the control group (n=60). The experimental group received 12 weeks for 90 minutes; the control group was maintained with conventional treatment. Ink painting art therapy includes the teaching of basic painting skills, free subject painting, and group discussion. Intervention effects were assessed by emotional stability on the Emotional Stability Scale (Emotional Stability Scale, ESS), social cognition measured by the Social cognitive Questionnaire (Social Cognition Questionnaire, SCQ), and P300 component changes related to emotional processing and social cognition were analyzed by event-related potentials (Event-Related Potentials, ERP). Data analysis used SPSS 26.0 software. Results The changes in emotional and social cognitive indicators between the experimental group and the control group before and after the intervention are shown in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the experimental group showed significant improvements in ESS, SCQ, and P300 amplitudes. After intervention, the amplitudes increased from 48.5±6.2 to 67.3±5.8, 58.9±7.1 to 74.6±6.3, and 8.3±1.2 to 10.6±1.1, respectively. The control group showed no significant changes, ranging from 49.2±6.4 to 52.1± 6.5, 59.3±7.5 to 61.2±7.0, and 8.2±1.3 to 8.4±1.3, respectively. The inter group differences and time effects were significant (P<0.001), indicating that the intervention had a significant positive effect on emotional stability, social cognition, and P300 amplitude. Discussion The results indicate that ink painting art therapy can significantly improve the emotional stability and social cognitive ability of patients with schizophrenia, and its mechanism of action may be related to enhancing P300 amplitude. This suggests that ink painting art therapy may indirectly enhance patients’ social cognitive function by improving their attention allocation and emotional processing abilities. Future research should further explore its intervention mechanisms and optimal implementation strategies, while considering the impact of different cultural backgrounds on intervention effectiveness.

Background Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder, and its patients are often accompanied by cognitive impairment, emotional symptoms and social dysfunction, which poses a serious obstacle to rehabilitation. In recent years, physical activity, as a non-drug intervention, is believed to promote the improvement of mental health and social function. By increasing physical activity, patients may improve neuroplasticity, alleviate core symptoms, and improve overall functional level. Methods Methods: Sixty patients who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) were randomly divided into a physical activity group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The physical activity group received a 12-week intervention, including 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as jogging and yoga, 5 times a week, and conventional drug treatment. The control group only received conventional drug treatment. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess the cognitive function of the patients before and after the intervention, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the emotional symptoms, and the Social Dysfunction Screening Scale (SDSS) was used to assess the social function. Paired t-test and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the differences in data within and between groups. Results After the intervention, the physical activity group’s scores in cognitive function, emotional symptoms and social function were significantly improved. Among them, the MoCA score increased from an average of 21.4 ± 3.2 points before intervention to 26.7 ± 2.8 points after intervention (P < 0.01), while the control group only improved from an average of 21.6 points before intervention to 23.1 points (P > 0.05). In the PANSS score, the total score of the physical activity group dropped from an average of 85.2 points to 65.4 points (P < 0.01), and that of the control group dropped from an average of 84.9 points to 75.6 points (P < 0.05). Specific to the positive and negative symptom dimensions, the positive symptom score of the physical activity group decreased from 23.5 points to 15.3 points, and the negative symptom score decreased from 27.1 points to 18.4 points (P < 0.01), while the control group decreased to 19.8 points and 23.5 points respectively. points (P > 0.05). In terms of improvement in social function, the SDSS score showed that the physical activity group decreased from 18.7 points to 10.5 points (P < 0.01), and the control group only decreased from 18.5 points to 14.2 points (P > 0.05).

Background Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness characterized by sensory, cognitive, and emotional disorders. It often occurs in young and middle-aged individuals and can cause significant stress to the patient, their family, and society. Schizophrenia may also lead to symptoms such as sleep disorders, lack of concentration, and memory loss, which in turn affect the patient’s brain function and cognitive abilities. At present, the treatment of schizophrenia mainly relies on taking antipsychotic drugs, but it requires long-term medication and attention should be paid to avoiding drug dependence and side effects. Therefore, researching new treatment methods for schizophrenia without drug side effects is of great significance. Scholars have found that reading can stimulate the cerebral cortex, improve thinking ability and memory, which has a positive effect on maintaining and improving the brain function of psychiatric patients. Therefore, the study will explore the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese cultural reading on cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia. Methods The study selected 74 patients with schizophrenia admitted to a tertiary hospital in a certain city from April 2021 to May 2023 as the research subjects. Randomly divide these patients into an observation group and a control group, with 37 patients in each group. The control group patients received routine care, while the observation group patients received an additional 3 hours of Chinese traditional culture reading every day on the basis of routine care. The experiment lasts for three months. Use the Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) to evaluate the severity of patients’ symptoms before and after treatment, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. And use the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) to score the patient’s cognitive function, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function. SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, with P<0.05 indicating statistically significant differences. Results There was no significant difference in clinical general data between the two groups of patients (P>0.05), so a comparison can be made. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in LOTCA scores between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After three months of treatment, the LOTCA score of the observation group was 64.24 ± 4.57, significantly higher than that of the control group patients (P<0.05). Before treatment, the SANS score of the control group patients was 67.05 ± 5.97, while the SANS score of the observation group was 67.12 ± 5.34, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). After three months of treatment, the SANS score of the observation group was 35.48 ± 2.02, significantly lower than that of the control group patients (P<0.05).

Background Schizophrenia, a chronic and disabling mental illness, affects approximately 1% of the world’s population. It is characterised by a range of symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, disturbed thinking and cognitive impairment. The traditional approach to treating schizophrenia has centred on antipsychotic medications and various forms of psychotherapy. However, recent research suggests that supplemental therapies such as complementary therapies supplemented with contemporary literature can enhance the effectiveness of traditional treatments by improving cognitive functioning and mood regulation. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of integrating contemporary literature into psychotherapy on mental health outcomes for patients with schizophrenia. Methods A randomised controlled trial of 120 participants with schizophrenia diagnosed at our institution were selected for the study. All participants were divided into a control group and an intervention group of 60 participants each. The control group received standard treatment (antipsychotic medication and traditional psychotherapy) and the intervention group received the same standard treatment and a programme treatment involving reading and discussing contemporary literature. The intervention group participated in weekly programme treatments, reading and discussing selected works, focusing on themes related to mental health and personal experiences. The study used the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were conducted to assess participants’ cognition and emotion. The entire experimental period was 12 months. Results Positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions) decreased by 25% (P<0.05) and negative symptoms (social withdrawal and emotional flatness) decreased by 30% (P<0.05) in the intervention group after 12 months. Cognitive functioning in the intervention group as measured by the MCCB improved by 15% (P<0.05) compared to the control group. Emotion regulation in the intervention group improved DERS scores by 20% compared to the control group (P>0.05). The results showed that there was a correlation between the level of engagement with literature and the improvement of participants’ symptoms and cognitive functioning (R=0.56, P<0.001). Specific results are shown in Table 1. Discussion Findings suggest that integrating contemporary literature into psychotherapy can significantly improve mental health outcomes for people with schizophrenia.

It is characterised by a range of symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, disturbed thinking and cognitive impairment. The traditional approach to treating schizophrenia has centred on antipsychotic medications and various forms of psychotherapy. However, recent research suggests that supplemental therapies such as complementary therapies supplemented with contemporary literature can enhance the effectiveness of traditional treatments by improving cognitive functioning and mood regulation.

Background Mental illness is a disorder of brain function and a disease with serious psychological disorders. Usually, patients’ cognition, emotion, will and action behavior are manifested as continuous abnormalities. For psychiatric patients, seeking treatment and intervention can promote their recovery and social function recovery. At present, a variety of psychological, artistic and social intervention therapy is gradually used as a supplement or even substitute for drugs, and its clinical effect has been widely confirmed. Among them, the diversified expression of visual communication refers to the process of conveying information and emotions through various expressions such as color, graphics, fonts, layout and multimedia elements, which is expected to profoundly affect people’s emotional expression and perception. This study introduces it into the field of psychological intervention for psychiatric patients and explores its emotional impact on patients. Methods 40 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of psychosis were divided into experimental group and control group according to the principle of uniform and random, and the intervention period was set for 6 months. The control group received routine nursing treatment and did not participate in any form of intervention activities, while the experimental group received visual communication diversified expression intervention twice a week during the intervention cycle, and communicated with the visual communication designer through dynamic and interactive design with various elements. The scale was tested before intervention and at 2, 4 and 6 months after intervention. The measurement scales included Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and self-rating anxiety scale (self-rating Anxiety Scale). SAS, self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS). Results The comparison results of DERS scale of different subjects before and after intervention are shown in Figure 1. As can be seen from Figure 1, there was no statistical difference in DERS scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05), and the subsequent experimental analysis was scientific and effective. After one month of intervention, DERS scores of the experimental group began to decline, and there was a statistical difference compared with the control group (P<0.05). When the intervention time reached 4 months, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.01). After the intervention, the experimental group’s DERS score decreased from 68.167 to 48.496. In addition, the scores of SAS and SDS in both groups decreased, but the scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Background Patients with schizophrenia are often accompanied by emotional disorders, including emotional flatness, emotional incongruity and impairment of emotional perception. These symptoms have a serious impact on patients’ social interaction and daily life functions. Although antipsychotic drugs can effectively control the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, they have limited effect on improving the negative symptoms and emotional perception of patients. As an auxiliary therapy, traditional cultural reading therapy can promote patients’ self-reflection and emotional expression through reading and discussing traditional cultural materials, and help improve patients’ emotional perception and social skills. In order to improve the emotional perception and social function of patients, the study comprehensively considered the potential positive effects of drug therapy and traditional cultural reading on mental rehabilitation. Methods Between January 2020 and December 2023, 60 long-stay schizophrenic patients admitted to a hospital were randomly assigned to a study group and a control group, with 30 people in each group. The control group received the usual care and medication, and worked to establish good communication with the patients to create a harmonious nurse-patient relationship. The nursing staff monitors the patient’s psychological changes, guides the patient’s negative emotions appropriately, and ensures that the patient follows the doctor’s instructions to take the medication correctly. The research team used reading therapy, which was equipped with multimedia devices such as VCD players and cable TV. Patients in the study group were divided into two groups, each group of 15 people, each group for 4 weeks to read books, usually 1 hour a day, divided into two sessions in the morning and afternoon. Patients were evaluated using Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Results Patients with schizophrenia who are hospitalized for a long period of time are often socially impaired, showing significant negative symptoms and varying degrees of positive symptoms. The analysis showed that there was no significant difference in negative emotion scores between the two groups before intervention (P > 0.05). However, after the intervention, the negative emotion score of the study group was lower than that of the control group, and the nursing satisfaction of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Since the patients are often accompanied by thinking disorders, lack of energy, anxiety and depression, social dysfunction is significant, therefore, providing reading therapy intervention to these patients can help improve their cognitive symptoms, negative symptoms, and social functioning. Discussion In practical application, reading therapy enables patients to discuss mental health issues after reading and understand their mental state more deeply, which proves that

Background Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder characterized by disorders of thinking, hallucinations, delusions, and emotional and social dysfunction. Due to their unique psychological development stage and social environment, college students are of special importance for the early identification and intervention of schizophrenia. Early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia is essential to improve prognosis, reduce disability, and improve quality of life. However, due to the complexity and heterogeneity of schizophrenia, early diagnosis and treatment pathway selection face many challenges. Knowledge management, as a systematic approach, is able to integrate and optimize information, knowledge, and skills to provide support for the early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. Study aims to explore how to through the perspective of knowledge management, combined with clinical symptoms, drug response, cognitive health and mental related factors, optimize the early diagnosis of schizophrenia and treatment path, and explore the special group of schizophrenia patients’ health care utilization and cost benefit, in order to provide more accurate and more effective mental health services for college students. Methods Using the case-control study method, 300 college students who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and 150 healthy college students were selected as the control group. By using neuroimaging techniques such as Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), the cognitive and social functions of two groups of students were evaluated. Meanwhile, the visual scanning path pattern analysis technique was used to examine the patient’s ability to process facial emotion perception. After data collection, multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cognitive function, social function, and facial emotion perception and the severity of schizophrenia symptoms. Results The results showed that the schizophrenia patient group performed significantly less in cognitive function tests and social function assessment than the control group (P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that cognitive function (β=0.65, P<0.001) and social function (β=0.52, P<0.001) were significant predictors of symptom severity in schizophrenia. In addition, there was a significant correlation between facial emotion perceptual processing ability and symptom severity (β=0.48, P<0.01). In terms of treatment pathway optimization, patient treatment adherence and quality of life can be significantly improved through knowledge management strategies such as patient education, family support and integration of community resources (P<0.05).

Background Workers in the financial industry generally face high pressure and high competition in the working environment, and have a high risk of mental health, including a high incidence of schizophrenia. Patients are usually accompanied by cognitive disorders, emotional disorders and impaired social functions, which seriously affect their quality of life and work ability. At present, the main use of drug intervention, but the efficacy is limited and may produce drug resistance and adverse reactions. Music therapy, which can regulate emotions, relieve stress and improve cognitive function, has gradually become a potential adjuvant therapy. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the effect of music therapy on financial practitioners with schizophrenia. The study evaluated the intervention effect of music therapy on the symptoms of financial practitioners, explored its application prospects and mechanisms, and provided references for personalized treatment programs. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was used to enroll 120 financial practitioners diagnosed with schizophrenia. All participants were randomly divided 1:1 into music therapy (n=60) and control (n=60) groups. The music therapy group received a 60-minute music therapy intervention twice a week for 12 weeks, in addition to their usual medication. Music therapy includes guided music listening, rhythmic interaction, and emotional expression activities that are personalized to match subjects’ musical preferences. The control group received only conventional drug treatment and no additional non-drug intervention. Symptom assessment measures included the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), which were measured at baseline, at week 6, and at the end of the intervention. In addition, acceptance and adherence to the intervention were assessed using satisfaction surveys. Results Baseline assessment showed no statistically significant differences in gender composition, mean age, duration of disease, or symptom score between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the total score of PANSS in the music therapy group was 62.3±12.4, while that in the control group was 73.5±11.2, which was significantly lower than that in the music therapy group (P<0.05). Further sub analysis showed that the negative symptom score of the music therapy group was 23.6±5.1, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (27.8±6.4, P<0.05). In terms of depressive symptoms, BDI scores in the music therapy group decreased from 28.5±6.8 to 18.4±5.2 at baseline (P<0.05), and BDI scores in the control group decreased from 28.7±7.0 to 23.4±6.7 (P<0.05).
