Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2023
Abstract
With the emergence and development of the Internet, the practice of ideological and political education via the Internet for students has gradually become a new trend. However, some students developed anxiety disorders due to changes in activity patterns, increased pressures from society and individual’s particular mentality. The focus of the present study was to explore the impact of online ideological and political education on relieving students’ anxiety disorders.
A total of 200 students with anxiety disorders from different universities were randomly divided into the intervention group (100 students) that underwent online ideological and political education, and the control group (100 students) who received traditional ideological and political education. Pre and post test assessments of anxiety levels were conducted using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).
Pre-intervention, both the control and intervention groups showed similar levels of anxiety disorders. However, post-intervention assessments yielded notable results. The anxiety levels in the intervention group who experienced online ideological and political education showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) compared to the control group.
The findings suggest that online ideological and political education can effectively reduce the levels of anxiety disorders among university students. Such intervention can be leveraged as part of the broader strategy to promote psychological health in the student community. Future researchers are encouraged to investigate the specific components of online ideological and political education to have such effect.
