| 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. |
