The effect of psychological intervention on self-efficacy and coping style of depression patients under medical guidance in colleges and universities

Abstract

BackgroundDuring the study period in college, students often suffer from depression because of serious psychological depression. When suffering from depression, it is difficult for college students to make effective self-adjustment. This will reduce their sense of self-efficacy, and ultimately lead to college students’ difficulty in effectively relieving their depression. The research points out that psychological intervention can specifically reduce college students’ depression, improve their well-being status, and then enhance their sense of self-efficacy, and promote college students’ rehabilitation.Subjects and MethodsThe study took 108 students with depression admitted to a university hospital as subjects, and randomly divided them into group A and group B. The students in group A were treated with routine psychological intervention, and the students in group B were treated with college medical guidance on the basis of psychological intervention. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) of the two groups was observed. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to analyze the change of self-efficacy of the two groups, and the questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate students’ coping style.ResultsThe HAMD and GSES scores of the two groups of students were shown in Table 1. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in the scores after intervention.Table 1.Differences between the two groups of students before and after interventionGroupHAMDGSESQuestionnaire survey on coping styleBefore interventionAfter interventionBefore interventionAfter interventionBefore interventionAfter interventionGroup A19.17±2.6415.22±2.3714.86±2.3520.18±2.5413.19±2.2116.24±3.39Group B19.53±2.4110.06±2.1514.39±2.4825.39±2.6213.22±2.2319.78±3.16P>0.05<0.05>0.05<0.05>0.05<0.05ConclusionsThe self-efficacy of college students with depression has seriously affected their rehabilitation effect. Therefore, the study proposed a psychological intervention strategy combined with college medical guidance. In the effect evaluation, the psychological intervention strategy of medical guidance in colleges and universities can significantly reduce the students’ depression scores and enhance their sense of self-efficacy. Therefore, in college teaching, we need to make full use of college medical guidance to improve the effect of psychological intervention and alleviate students’ depression.AcknowledgementsThe research is supported by: Sichuan Basic Education Research Center, Research on the carrier of patriotism education practice in primary and middle schools (No. 20SZSJYZ-03).
