Background

The teaching support work of normal school students is a key step to improving students’ personal teaching abilities. It can help students understand the current situation of education in China and is a necessary way to enhance students’ sense of responsibility and mission in teaching. However, a large number of students will have significant mental symptoms such as depression and anxiety during teaching. Therefore, doing a good job in students’ mental health is not only conducive to teachers’ psychological construction, but also can promote students to develop a good outlook on education.

Subjects and Methods

118 voluntary students in a university were taken as the research objects, and all the students were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 59 students in each group. The intervention means based on the transformation of the management mode of psychotherapy combined with education were proposed. The students in the experimental group used the combined treatment means, while the students in the control group only used psychotherapy for intervention. The intervention lasted for 12 months, and the changes in anxiety and depression symptoms of students during the intervention were evaluated.

Results

The differences in anxiety and depression scores of students before and after the treatment are shown in Table 1.Table 1.

Conclusions

The psychological condition of the students is the key to deciding whether their voluntary activities can be carried out normally. It can be seen from Table 1 that the depression and anxiety scores of students in the experimental group are significantly lower than those in the control group after the intervention. Therefore, it can be seen that the transformation of the management mode of psychotherapy combined with education can significantly reduce the current situation of psychological depression and anxiety of students in the support education, which is of great significance to the comprehensive development of students.
