The World Health Organization has declared the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Given the sudden infection from and extensive dispersion of COVID-19 and the absence of specific drugs, those infected are in danger if they are not treated in time. Consequently, COVID-19 has become an important factor influencing adolescents' mental health. The purpose of this study is to explore the intervention effect of the integration model on the negative emotions of adolescents during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Adolescents were randomly selected from five middle schools in Zhejiang Province of China from May 2020 to July 2020. First, the Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale were used for measurement. Then, 72 patients with moderate and severe anxiety symptoms were chosen as the research objects, and the intervention and comparison time was determined to be eight weeks. The subjects were randomly divided into the experiment group (35 members) and the control group (34 members). The integration model was employed on the experiment group.
Grade, physical condition, and sleep time are important factors influencing the anxiety level of adolescents during the COVID-19 period, and the anxiety risk of adolescents is higher during their third year of junior high school. After the intervention, the SAS score of the experiment group is lower than that of the control group, and the decrease in the SAS score is higher in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the positive emotion score of the experiment group is higher than that of the control group, and the negative emotion score of the former is lower than that of the latter. The variances in the positive and negative emotion scores are higher in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.01). The variance in the overall well-being index is also greater in the experiment group than in the control group (P<0.01).
The intervention using the integrated model can significantly reduce negative emotions such as anxiety, increase positive emotions, and improve the overall well-being of adolescents during the epidemic period.
世界卫生组织已将 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情宣布为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。鉴于 COVID-19 的突然感染和广泛传播，且尚无特定药物，感染者如果得不到及时治疗，将处于危险之中。因此，COVID-19 已成为影响青少年心理健康的重要因素。本研究旨在探讨整合模式对 COVID-19 流行期间青少年负面情绪的干预效果。
2020 年 5 月至 7 月，从中国浙江省的五所中学中随机抽取青少年。首先，使用自评焦虑量表、正性负性情绪量表和心理幸福感量表进行测量。然后，选择 72 名中重度焦虑症状患者作为研究对象，并确定干预和比较时间为八周。将受试者随机分为实验组（35 名成员）和对照组（34 名成员）。对实验组采用整合模式。
年级、身体状况和睡眠时间是影响 COVID-19 期间青少年焦虑水平的重要因素，青少年在初中三年级时焦虑风险更高。干预后，实验组的 SAS 评分低于对照组，实验组 SAS 评分下降幅度高于对照组（P<0.01）。此外，实验组的正性情绪评分高于对照组，负性情绪评分低于对照组。实验组的正性和负性情绪评分变化幅度大于对照组（P<0.01）。实验组的整体幸福感指数变化幅度也大于对照组（P<0.01）。
整合模式的干预可以显著降低青少年在疫情期间的焦虑等负面情绪，增加积极情绪，提高整体幸福感。
