Background

Learning anxiety has become a common problem among college students. Anxiety is also called psychological abnormality. The main symptoms of college students’ anxiety and depression include fear of negative evaluation in all aspects, excessive employment pressure, economic pressure, and inability to solve problems independently. Anxiety can cause symptoms such as insomnia and autism, and sometimes lead to adverse consequences or personal safety. Therefore, based on the healthy physical and mental development of college students, we can avoid learning anxiety through effective ideological and political management of humanism.

Subjects and Methods

The study combined mental health and ideological and political courses, and selected 40 students from a university as research objects through random sampling. Before the activity, the ruminant thinking was evaluated, and after the evaluation, 40 students were instructed to participate in ruminant thinking under ideological and political management. The self-designed communication anxiety scale was used to evaluate the students. The scale included two dimensions: positive rumination and negative rumination. Positive rumination includes two indicators: positive coping and enjoyment of happiness, while negative rumination includes three indicators: negative attribution, inhibition of happiness and self-denial. The scale uses a four-level scoring method, which is inconsistent (4 points), uncertain (3 points), frequent (2 points), and completely consistent (1 point). The higher the total score, the higher the degree of positive or negative rumination.

Results

The results of intervention control experiment under different ideological and political management are shown in Table 1.Table 1.

It can be seen from the table that after the rumination intervention, the level of students’ communication anxiety has significantly decreased, and the average level of active rumination has significantly increased. Different students can get more positive feelings and have a better way of thinking in the ideological and political curriculum under the integration of ruminant intervention.

Conclusions

Research ruminant intervention to improve the ideological and political curriculum in colleges and universities, so as to alleviate college students’ depression and anxiety thinking. The research results show that the ideological and political courses after intervention have a certain effect on students’ communication anxiety, social anxiety relief, and effectively improve their psychological anxiety.
