English abstract:
      Objective To explore the effect of emotional catharsis on the mental health status, coping style and satisfaction with the intervention among adolescents in Nanchong in the post-pandemic period.Methods Completely random sampling method was used to recruit 390 adolescents from 2 general secondary schools, 2 county secondary schools and 2 universities in Nanchong from January 2021 to April 2022. The subjects were divided into study group (n=195) and control group (n=195) by random number table method. The study group received emotional catharsis intervention. The control group received self-regulation and relaxation without any other intervention. Interventions for both groups lasted for 3 months. Before and after the intervention, the mental health status and coping style of the adolescents were assessed using the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ). Also, the participants rated the satisfaction with the intervention via self-made satisfaction questionnaire after the intervention.Results After intervention, the total SCL-90 score of study group was lower than that of control group (t=68.312, P<0.01). In terms of SCSQ, study group scored higher on the positive coping dimension (t=30.488, P<0.01), and lower on negative coping dimension (t=46.562, P<0.01) than those of control group. There were 190 (98.96%) cases satisfied with the intervention in the study group and 175 (89.74%) cases in the control group, the difference of intervention satisfaction rate between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=15.321, P<0.01).Conclusion In the post-pandemic period, emotional catharsis may be conducive to improve the mental health status and coping style among adolescents in Nanchong, and adolescents have high levels of satisfaction with the intervention.
