- Abstract
This study aims to explore the effect of psychological guidance and sandplay therapy in the intervention of adolescent mental health. In this study, adolescents aged 12 to 18 hospitalized for various illnesses, accidents and other reasons were taken as the research objects, and then the application of sandplay to the mental health intervention of hospitalized sick adolescents was proposed. The collected research objects were randomly classified into experimental and control groups through a questionnaire survey. The experimental group used a combination of psychological guidance and sandplay therapy. Lastly, statistical analysis was conducted on four dimensions: emotional state, social function, self-awareness, and psychological adaptation using psychological assessment scales. The results found that after psychological counseling and sandplay therapy intervention, only about 22% of participants in the experimental group showed low mood, nervousness, and anger, and significantly improved scores in social function, self-recognition, and psychological adaptability. In terms of emotional state, the experimental group scored lower, indicating that participants in the experimental group were less likely to experience depression, anxiety, and anger. In contrast, the control group scored higher, suggesting a noticeable intervention effect of psychological guidance and sandplay therapy. These results suggest the comprehensive application of psychological guidance and sandplay therapy positively impacts adolescent mental health intervention's emotional state and psychological adaptation. Integrating the use of psychological guidance and sandplay therapy can provide useful enlightenment for the follow-up exploration and optimization of adolescent mental health problems.
