Abstract
Objective: Based on evidence-based medical evidence, to explore the clinical improvement effect of family cognitive-behavioral intervention on anxiety state, physical health, and family function in school-age children of new-generation migrant workers, and to provide a scientific and standardized medical intervention program for anxiety-related problems in this group. Methods: A total of 60 school-age children of new-generation migrant workers with anxiety, screened from community health service centers and primary and secondary schools in the city from January 2024 to January 2025, were selected as research objects. They were divided into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine clinical mental health education, while the observation group implemented a standardized 8-week family cognitive-behavioral medical intervention. Results: Before intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in all observation indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). After 4 and 8 weeks of intervention, the scores of all dimensions and total score of the SCARED scale in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the sleep duration was significantly longer, the morning systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower, the scores of all dimensions of the FAD scale were significantly decreased, and the scores of all dimensions and total score of the CD-RISC scale were significantly increased, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Family cognitive-behavioral medical intervention can effectively alleviate the anxiety state of school-age children of new-generation migrant workers, improve their cardiovascular stress level and sleep quality, optimize family function, and enhance psychological resilience. It conforms to the norms of medical intervention for children’s mental health and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
