Psychological intervention combined with female image analysis in Japanese literature on autistic women

Abstract

Background

The core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are impaired social communication and restricted repetitive behavior. The diagnosis of autism is extremely complex and affects the judgment of differences in autism groups. With the attention paid to female patients with autism, research adopted psychological intervention therapy and combined female images in Japanese literature to attach importance to the diagnostic tools of female autistic population.

Subjects and Methods

Firstly, 80 patients with autism were selected and randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group. The observation group received psychological intervention treatment using female images from Japanese literary works, while the control group only received psychological intervention treatment. Three months later, the two groups were scored on the Autism Rating Scale (ARS) and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). Finally, SPSS23.0 was used for data analysis and t-test.

Results

After 3 months, the positive emotion score on the PANAS scale in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (t=4.412, P<0.001), the negative emotion score (t=-2.552, P<0.05), and Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale (ATCE) score (t=4.183, P<0.001). The degree of reduction in various indicators of the control group is much greater than that in the control group. Indicating the effectiveness and feasibility of its treatment.

Conclusions

More attention should be paid to female patients with autism, and the development and changes of female images in literary works should be analyzed for auxiliary treatment, in order to promote the development of patients’ mental health and improve their quality of life.
