Background Depression is a psychological disorder characterized by depressed mood and diminished interest, accompanied by significant cognitive impairment, including decreased verbal expression and social communication skills. Language dysfunction is characterized by delayed speech, poor vocabulary and difficulty in verbal expression, while impaired communication skills exacerbate the patient’s sense of social isolation. In recent years, choral singing, as a group musical activity, has been widely recognized as having psychological rehabilitation and social promotion effects. Through musical expression, patients can benefit from emotional catharsis and language training; while through team interaction, patients can enhance social skills and self-efficacy. The study aimed to assess the effects of choral activities on language function and communication ability of young depressed patients, and to provide innovative rehabilitation interventions for patients. Methods The study included 100 depressed patients aged 18-35 years, all of whom met the diagnostic criteria for depression in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 50 in each group. The experimental group received conventional psychotherapy and participated in a 10-week choral intervention, which took place three times a week for 90 minutes each time, and included vocal training, choral technique practice and group music creation. The control group received only conventional psychotherapy. Before and after the intervention, the patients were assessed for changes in verbal expression and social communication skills using the Language Function Assessment Scale and the Communication Skills Assessment Scale, respectively. Data were analyzed by paired t-tests and between-group comparisons, with P<0.05 as the level of significance. Results The results of the experiment showed that the language function and communication ability of the patients in the experimental group improved significantly and the effect was better than that of the control group (P<0.01). The language function score of the experimental group improved from 45.2±6.1 before the intervention to 60.3±5.9 after the intervention, while the language function score of the control group only improved from 46.1±5.6 to 47.8±5.5. The communication skills score improved from 42.1±5.4 to 58.4±4.7 in the experimental group and from 41.9±5.2 to 43.6±5.1 in the control group. The difference in improvement between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). Discussion The results of the study confirmed the positive effects of choral activities in improving the language function and communication ability of young depressed patients. Through choral activities, patients were able to exercise their language skills in musical expression and overcome language expression difficulties; team interaction provide

Background Environmental art design is a comprehensive design method that improves the living experience of residents by optimizing the artistic and functional aspects of space and environment. In recent years, environmental art design has gradually been applied in the field of mental health. Multiple studies have shown that optimized living environments can effectively alleviate negative emotions in patients with schizophrenia. However, the application of environmental art design in the psychological rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia is still in its early stages. The study aims to explore the impact of living spaces based on environmental art design on the psychological rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. Methods A study selected 58 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia from a certain hospital, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups of patients were treated with conventional drugs. The control group maintained the original hospitalization environment. The living space of the experimental group patients was renovated according to the principles of environmental art design. In the renovation, the overall color design is mainly focused on warm and comfortable tones. At the same time, natural lighting was increased, and wide windows and transparent materials were installed. In addition, add plants, natural landscapes, and artistic decorations indoors. Before and after the experiment, the Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used to evaluate the psychological rehabilitation status of patients. Results The SDS and SAS scores of the two groups of patients before and after the experiment are shown in Table 1. According to Table 1, the SDS scores of the experimental group before and after treatment were 45.2 ± 5.3 points and 28.6 ± 4.8 points, respectively. The SAS scores before and after treatment were 51.1 ± 7.8 points and 31.5 ± 5.5 points, respectively, with statistical differences (P<0.05). The improvement of depression and anxiety symptoms in the control group was relatively small, with only the SDS score showing statistical differences (P<0.05). In the inter group comparison results, the scores of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Discussion The research results indicate that optimizing living spaces through design elements such as warm color tones, sufficient natural lighting, green plants, and artistic decorations can significantly improve the psychological state of patients with schizophrenia. Environmental art design not only helps improve patients’ living comfort, enhance the natural and aesthetic effects of the environment, but also alleviates patients’ negative emotions and promotes their psychological recovery. Subsequent research can further explore the impact of environmental design on patients’ psychological rehabilitation mechanisms.

Background In recent years, counselors have played an increasingly important role in intervening in the mental health of college students. Related studies have shown that among college students facing mental health problems, counselor intervention can improve their psychological state, emotional regulation, and self-awareness level to a certain extent. However, current research on counselor intervention for college students with schizophrenia is relatively scarce. Therefore, the study explored the effect of counselor intervention on enhancing self-efficacy in college students with schizophrenia, in order to provide new ideas for the social adaptation and rehabilitation treatment of schizophrenia patients. Methods 80 college students diagnosed with schizophrenia admitted to a certain hospital were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 40 students in each group. Both groups of subjects received conventional medication treatment, and the experimental group received regular intervention from counselors on this basis. The intervention includes personal emotional management, self-awareness improvement, learning goal setting, problem-solving strategies, and social skills training. The experimental duration is one semester, and the intervention period is once a week, with each session lasting 40 minutes. The counselors involved in the intervention received specialized training before the experiment. Before and after the experiment, two groups of patients were evaluated using the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Results The GSES and PANSS scores of the subjects before and after intervention are shown in Table 1. According to Table 1, both the experimental group and the control group showed significant improvement in GSES and PANSS scores before and after intervention. After intervention, the GSES score of the experimental group increased from 45.32 ± 6.14 points to 59.68 ± 5.64 points, and the PANSS score increased from 80.36 ± 9.25 points to 52.36 ± 7.25 points, both of which showed statistical differences (P<0.05). At the same time, it can be seen that the improvement in GSES and PANSS scores in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Discussion The experimental results indicate that regular intervention by counselors has a significant effect on improving the self-efficacy and mental symptoms of college students with schizophrenia, manifested in the enhancement of self-efficacy and the alleviation of mental symptoms. The intervention of counselors can effectively enhance the self-efficacy of patients with schizophrenia, alleviate their mental symptoms, and improve the abilities of college students with schizophrenia in emotional management, social skills, problem-solving, and other aspects.

Background Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that affects patients’ behavior, cognition, and emotional regulation, severely impairing their quality of life and social functioning. Although medication can alleviate symptoms, it comes with side effects and has limited effectiveness in improving social adaptability. Therefore, exercise therapy has received attention due to its positive impact on physical and mental health. Basketball not only improves physical fitness, but also promotes social interaction and emotional expression among patients. Studies have shown that moderate exercise can improve mood and cognitive function by increasing neurotransmitter secretion. The study aims to evaluate the effects of physical training and basketball on the behavior and mental symptoms of patients with schizophrenia, in order to provide new evidence for non pharmacological treatment. Methods The study included 120 patients with schizophrenia aged 18-45, all of whom met the DSM-5 criteria. Adopting a double-blind randomized controlled design, the participants were divided into an experimental group (physical training and basketball exercise, three times a week, 90 minutes each time) and a control group (conventional treatment only). The intervention of the experimental group includes 30 minutes of physical training and 60 minutes of basketball exercise. Before and after intervention, BPS was used to assess patients’ behavioral problems, PANSS was used to assess psychiatric symptoms, and serum levels of dopamine and BDNF were detected. Results The experimental data were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software, and the specific results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the experimental group’s BPS score decreased from 42.3 to 28.7, PANSS score decreased from 89.5 to 65.3, and serum dopamine and BDNF levels increased by 23.7% and 18.5%, respectively. The BPS and PANSS scores of the control group only slightly decreased, and the physiological indicators did not show significant changes. Discussion Studies have confirmed that physical training combined with basketball has a significant intervention effect on the behavioral and mental symptoms of patients with schizophrenia. Through physical training, physical fitness and confidence are improved; basketball stimulates social participation and emotional expression through team interaction and goal orientation. This integrated intervention not only significantly reduced the behavioral problems and psychiatric symptoms, but also supported the improvement of mental health at the physiological level by promoting the secretion of neurotransmitters and trophic factors. Future studies could further optimize the intervention program with a view to providing more personalized and diverse non-pharmacological approaches for atients with schizophrenia.

Background Cognitive impairment is a common problem faced by patients with depression and schizophrenia throughout the course of the disease, which greatly affects the daily quality of life of those with mental illness who are engaged in the ecotourism industry. Modified Electroconvulsive Therapy (MECT) has been widely used in the clinical treatment of mental illness, but its impact on the cognitive function of patients is still inconclusive. At the same time, for patients engaged in the ecotourism industry, the applicability of MECT treatment research is relatively insufficient. This study conducted a series of dynamic observation studies on the cognitive function of mental illness patients engaged in ecotourism industry before, during and after MECT treatment, in order to provide a more scientific reference for clinicians to make MECT treatment plan. Methods From March to December 2023, 12 schizophrenic patients engaged in ecotourism industry were selected from the Third People’s Hospital of Yancheng City. The treatment was arranged three times a week, each treatment interval was one day, and six treatments were completed as a complete course of treatment, which lasted for two weeks. In order to conduct a dynamic assessment of Neurocognitive function in these patients, the Chinese version of Brief Neurocognitive Test Battery (C-BCT) was used as an assessment tool. Results According to the data in Table 1, no statistically significant differences in C-BCT scores were observed in patients with schizophrenia before MECT treatment began (P > 0.05). At 1-2 weeks after treatment and at 1 month after treatment, patients’ scores for connection tests, continuous manipulation, and digital breadth showed statistically significant differences compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05). Patients’ scores on the symbol coding test also showed statistically significant differences compared to before treatment at 1-2 weeks and 1 month after treatment ended (P < 0.05). Discussion The study dynamically observed cognitive function in patients with mental disorders who received MECT and found that the treatment significantly improved clinical symptoms. In particular, one month after the end of MECT treatment, patients’ cognitive function not only gradually recovered, but in some respects even exceeded the pre-treatment level. This study provides strong clinical evidence for clinicians to decide whether to use MECT treatment, reduce patients’ concerns and fears about MECT treatment, and improve patients’ cooperation with treatment. However, the potential influence of drug factors on the study results could not be completely excluded during the implementation of the study. In future studies, drug variables should be strictly controlled to avoid possible bias during the study.

Background The basic principles of color psychology show that different colors can trigger specific emotions, behaviors and reactions. For example, warm colors are associated with energy, passion and warmth, evoking feelings of excitement and intensity; Cool colors, on the other hand, are calming and are often associated with serenity, peace and relaxation. The advertisement design integrating color psychology can alleviate consumers’ anxiety to a certain extent by influencing consumers’ emotional response. Individual emotions are affected by their own environment and subjective feelings. In order to reduce such effects, the research makes rational use of color and emotional effects, so that advertising design can become an effective tool to relieve consumers’ anxiety. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of integrating color psychology into advertising design on consumer anxiety. Methods In this study, 60 online shopping platform users were recruited as volunteers through an online platform, and the profile of mood states (POMS) was used to evaluate the anxiety state of consumers when they watched ordinary advertisements and advertisements with color psychology. The scale involves 5 negative emotional areas (tension, anger, fatigue, depression and panic) and 2 positive emotional areas (energy and self-esteem). Each adjective is set with 5 degree options. The higher the score, the worse the mood state of the patient. Through in-depth understanding of the principles of color psychology, such as the cold and warm sense of color, bright and lively sense, excitement and grade sense, according to the advertising theme and the characteristics of the target audience, choose the color collocation that can arouse the resonance of consumers for advertising design. Results At the time of enrollment, there was no significant difference in scores and total scores of all emotional fields among 60 volunteers (P>0.05). After watching ordinary advertisements, POMS negative emotion field score and total score were lower than those in the group, and POMS positive emotion field score was higher than that in the group. After watching the ads integrated with color psychology, the score and total score of POMS in the negative emotion field were lower than those after watching ordinary ads, and the score of POMS in the positive emotion field was higher than that after watching ordinary ads (P<0.05). Discussion The results of this study show that advertising design based on the concept of color psychology can improve consumers’ self-efficacy. Bright colors produce sensory stimulation for consumers, making them in a mild and suitable living environment for a long time, improving the efficiency of communication, thereby increasing self-efficacy and easing anxiety. Consumer anxiety is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, it not only affects individual consumption behavior, but also closely related to social and economic structure and advertising strat

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of integrating color psychology into advertising design on consumer anxiety. Methods In this study, 60 online shopping platform users were recruited as volunteers through an online platform, and the profile of mood states (POMS) was used to evaluate the anxiety state of consumers when they watched ordinary advertisements and advertisements with color psychology. The scale involves 5 negative emotional areas (tension, anger, fatigue, depression and panic) and 2 positive emotional areas (energy and self-esteem). Each adjective is set with 5 degree options. The higher the score, the worse the mood state of the patient. Through in-depth understanding of the principles of color psychology, such as the cold and warm sense of color, bright and lively sense, excitement and grade sense, according to the advertising theme and the characteristics of the target audience, choose the color collocation that can arouse the resonance of consumers for advertising design. Results At the time of enrollment, there was no significant difference in scores and total scores of all emotional fields among 60 volunteers (P&gt;0.05). After watching ordinary advertisements, POMS negative emotion field score and total score were lower than those in the group, and POMS positive emotion field score was higher than that in the group. After watching the ads integrated with color psychology, the score and total score of POMS in the negative emotion field were lower than those after watching ordinary ads, and the score of POMS in the positive emotion field was higher than that after watching ordinary ads (P&lt;0.05). Discussion The results of this study show that advertising design based on the concept of color psychology can improve consumers’ self-efficacy. Bright colors produce sensory stimulation for consumers, making them in a mild and suitable living environment for a long time, improving the efficiency of communication, thereby increasing self-efficacy and easing anxiety. Consumer anxiety is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, it not only affects individual consumption behavior, but also closely related to social and economic structure and advertising strat","PeriodicalId":21530,"journal":{"name":"Schizophrenia Bulletin","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435084","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}

Background Schizophrenia belongs to a kind of chronic and serious mental illness, which usually manifests itself as abnormalities in sensation, perception, emotion and behaviour, causing serious impact on patients’ life and work. Medication, psychotherapy, social support and other interventions are often used to help patients better adapt to the social environment and improve their quality of life. However, due to the complex pathogenesis and individual differences of schizophrenia, the intervention effect of existing treatments is limited. Existing studies have shown that regular physical activity can promote the plasticity of neurons in the brain, enhance the formation of connection points between neurons, and promote blood circulation in the brain, improve the metabolism and function of neurons, and promote the generation and stabilisation of synapses. However, the role of physical activity in the social functioning of schizophrenic patients remains to be confirmed. Therefore, the study examined whether the positive benefits of physical activity as an intervention for schizophrenia could be extended to the level of social functioning. Methods Sixty subjects who met the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders (ICD-10) criteria for schizophrenia were divided equally into an experimental group and a control group; patients in the control group received conventional treatment, and the experimental group received physical activity therapy intervention on top of conventional treatment for a 6-month intervention period. The experimental group and the control group received the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS), the Social Anxiety Subscale (SAS), the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), and the Social Performance Scale (SPS), respectively, before the intervention and at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th months after the intervention. and Social Performance Scale (PSP), Scale of Social function in Psychosis Inpatients (SSPI), and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) were measured. Results Compared with the control group, the total SADS scores of the patients in the experimental group decreased significantly after the physical activity intervention (P<0.05) from (13.511±2.646) to (6.456±2.766); and there was a significant statistical difference (P<0.01), and the social interaction function of the experimental group was significantly improved. In the social function analysis, starting from the 4th month of physical activity intervention, there was a significant difference in PSP scores between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.05), and the experimental group’s scores were higher than those of the control group. In addition, the SDSS scale scores of the control group did not change significantly before and after the treatment (P>0.05), while the SDSS scores of the experimental group increased from (15.462±3.146) to (20.164±2.694), which was significantly different from the

Background With the increase of social pressure, depression has become a major mental health problem worldwide. With the powerful participation and interactivity of virtual reality technology, immersive digital museums provide patients with depression with a new way of sensory stimulation and cognitive regulation. Due to the high incidence of depression and the current treatment needs, non-drug psychological intervention has become the main direction of depression treatment. However, there are few studies on the impact of immersive digital museum experience mode on patients with depression. Therefore, this study focuses on the immersive digital museum experience and verifies the impact of digital museums on symptom relief and quality of life improvement in patients with depression through experiments. Methods The study selected 60 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depression and randomly divided them into an experimental group and a control group of 30 patients each. Patients in the experimental group participated in an immersive digital museum experience twice a week, which included natural landscape exhibitions, historical and cultural scenes, and interactive displays of artworks. The control group received routine psychological counseling and did not receive digital museum intervention. The study used the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS), and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) to evaluate patients before and after the intervention. Results The study compared the SDS assessment results of the two groups of patients and analyzed the SDS scale scores of patients at different stages under the immersive digital museum intervention, as shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, there was a significant decrease in the SDS scores of the subjects after 12 weeks of intervention, in which the scale scores of the patients decreased to 42.6±3.1 after 12 weeks, but the control group only decreased to 51.7±3.8. There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison of scale scores of the patients of the two groups after 12 weeks (P<0.05). And after 6 weeks of the immersive digital museum experience intervention, there was a more significant improvement in the depression of the depressed patients. This shows that there is a significant improvement in the depression of depressed patients after using the immersive digital museum experience. Discussion Research results show that digital museums create a positive and safe psychological environment for patients with depression through visual, auditory and interactive content. The immersive digital museum experience can significantly reduce the negative emotions of patients with depression, thus improving their mental health. The immersive digital museum experience has a significant effect on relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients with depression.

Background As a common mental disorder, schizophrenia brings a huge burden to patients and their families. Due to the complexity of the disease, patients often face many difficulties in the process of psychological rehabilitation, such as weakened self-recognition, social isolation and emotional disorders. In recent years, non-drug intervention programs have been paid more and more attention, among which reading therapy, as a new psychological intervention mode, has shown a good application prospect. Research shows that reading can help individuals enter a state of immersion, promote emotional empathy and social identity, and is especially important for improving cognitive function and emotional regulation. However, there is a lack of research on the specific effects of reading therapy on the psychological rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of reading therapy in the psychological rehabilitation of schizophrenia patients. Methods The study included 100 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, all of whom were treated at a mental health center. All patients met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Participants were randomly divided into an experimental group (receiving reading therapy) and a control group (receiving conventional treatment), with 50 people in each group. Prior to enrollment, all participants filled out a questionnaire with basic information, including age, sex, course of disease, medication use, etc., to ensure that the two groups were balanced on baseline characteristics. The experimental group engaged with various reading materials—literature, psychology books, and motivational articles—tailored to their interests. They participated in weekly group reading events to discuss the books and foster interaction under the guidance of trained counselors. Participants documented their reading experiences and emotional responses, and the treatment team provided regular feedback. In contrast, the control group received standard drug therapy and weekly cognitive behavioral therapy. Results The results showed that the anxiety and depression scores of the experimental group were significantly reduced after the intervention, and the scores were 12.3±3.4 points (P<0.001) and 10.5±2.8 points (P<0.01), respectively, while the changes in the control group were not significant (P>0.05). Specifically, the self-efficacy score of the experimental group was significantly improved (P<0.05), and compared with the control group, the improvement effect of the experimental group in various dimensions of mental health was more obvious. Reading therapy not only helps patients better understand their own emotions and experiences, but also enhances their ability to interact with others, thus facilitating the process of psychological recovery.

Background Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness, in which patients often experience symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, confused thinking and emotions. Confused self-awareness and delayed responses can prevent patients from engaging in normal social activities. In clinical practice, drugs such as olanzapine, risperidone, and aripiprazole are commonly used to treat acute or chronic schizophrenia, with significant clinical effects. However, their effectiveness is greatly influenced by patients’ medication adherence. Studies have shown that environmental therapy, as a non pharmacological treatment method, has received widespread attention in the rehabilitation treatment of mental illnesses. Therefore, the study relies on the design concept of horticultural therapy and uses landscape gardening environment horticultural therapy training to intervene in the psychological health of schizophrenia, and evaluates the clinical application effect of this method. Methods The study selected 30 young patients with chronic schizophrenia as the research subjects, and used randomized controls to divide the patients into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups of patients followed the doctor’s advice to take olanzapine medication, with the control group receiving routine care. On this basis, the experimental group of patients received an 8-week training in landscape gardening therapy. According to the established medical implementation plan, a gardening planting group of no more than five people was formed to focus on greening and maintenance work. Intervention personnel communicate with patients to determine the scope of knowledge such as psychiatric knowledge, learning plant care skills, etc. Therapists evaluate the training effectiveness based on patient feedback. Evaluate the psychological status and social cognition of patients before and after the experiment using tools such as the General Self Efficacy Scale and the Mental Health Assessment Scale. Results In Table 1, after the intervention, the scores of the psychiatric assessment scale for both groups of subjects were better than before the intervention (P<0.05), with the experimental group being better than the control group (P<0.05), indicating a significant difference in data. Discussion Landscape environment training can significantly improve the mental health status of patients with chronic schizophrenia. The average score of the psychiatric assessment scale after intervention was 62.48 points, which decreased significantly compared to before intervention. However, the decline trend of the psychiatric assessment scale score in the control group was slightly worse than that in the experimental group. Horticultural therapy cultivates patients’ patience and sense of responsibility, enhances their self-esteem and self-efficacy. This healing training process will guide schizophrenia patients to pay more attention to their thinking processes and operational skills. T
