BackgroundWith the continuous improvement of employees’ humanized needs, more and more enterprises have set up employee psychological assistance programs. The way of diagnosing and advising organizations and employees through professionals, providing professional guidance, training and counseling is also of certain research value for the treatment of HR patients with social anxiety disorder.Subjects and MethodsThe study selected 38 people with SAD and 22 healthy controls to complete the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. At the same time, eye tracking technology was used to investigate the eye movement attention of the two groups of subjects to their own faces with different emotions, and the changes in symptoms and eye movement characteristics of SAD patients were followed up for 4 weeks.ResultsThe healthy group scored 9.950±4.87, and before the EPA intervention, SADHR patients had a higher score on the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale of 77.610±24.00. After the EPA intervention, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale score of SADHR patients was significantly reduced by 52.6% compared with the previous one. The results of eye tracking studies changed, with a significant increase in the order of first fixation points in the 4-week region of interest.ConclusionsPatients with SADHR have a high level of self-attention, and most of them are negative and have low self-evaluation. After using the EPA intervention, the self-evaluation of SADHR patients improved. Social anxiety symptoms were not significantly correlated with eye movement features of one’s own face.
