Behavioral psychology combined with Morita therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorder in library administrators

Abstract

Background

Anxiety disorders are a common mental health problem, especially in highly stressful work environments, such as librarians, who need to cope with large amounts of information and the population. Librarians are important players responsible for organizing and managing library resources, and they face many challenges, including handling complex tasks, meeting user needs, and interacting with different individuals. Because of these professional characteristics, librarians may face persistent stress and anxiety.

Subjects and Methods

Librarians who met the study criteria were recruited from different libraries as study participants, and participants were randomized into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received behavioral psychology and Morita treatment intervention, while the control group received conventional treatment or waiting treatment. Finally, the effects of behavioral psychology and Morita treatment on anxiety levels were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 software.

Results

The analysis found that the incidence of anxiety disorders decreased by 45.87% after receiving the behavioral psychology intervention and Morita therapy intervention. 73.23% of the patients showed significant disease improvement. In the control group, only 22.36% of participants with anxiety disorders improved. It was 20.87% lower than the experimental group.

Conclusions

During the treatment, the therapist works with the librarian to develop an individualized treatment plan and provide support and guidance. This integrated treatment approach can help librarians establish healthier mental states and coping mechanisms. Through cognitive reconstruction, exposure exercises, behavioral experiments and other methods, they can gradually face and deal with anxiety triggers and develop more positive and adaptive coping strategies.
