However, there is a lack of systematic research on the specific effects of such education in alleviating graduation anxiety.Subjects and MethodsThe study took college students as research subjects and divided into experimental group and control group by experimental design, with 50 students in each group. The experimental group received 10 weeks of active employment counseling education, while the control group continued to learn the regular course. SPSS23.0 software was used for data analysis to compare the differences in graduation anxiety symptoms between the two groups.ResultsThe score of graduation anxiety in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance (t=3.45, P<0.05). Students in the experimental group scored significantly lower than those in the control group in anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem (anxiety: experimental group 3.2 vs. Control group 4.5; Depression: experimental group 2.8 vs. control group 4.2; Low self-esteem: experimental group 3.5 vs. control group 4.8).ConclusionsActive employment counseling education can significantly alleviate the graduation anxiety of college students. By providing guidance and resources to help students plan their careers, broaden access to employment, and reduce anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
