Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the efficacy of AI-based psychological counseling in alleviating the psychological anxiety of medical interns. Methods: The study subjects were 50 medical interns of a Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine who were interned in the hospital from November 26, 2023 to December 17, 2023. The medical interns were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (conventional health education, 25) and an experimental group (AI psychological counseling technique + conventional health education, 25). The scores of the Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS) and the Self-Depression Scale (SDS) were compared and analyzed before and after the intervention. Results: Prior to the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of medical interns in the control group and the experimental group were not statistically different from those of the control group (P > 0.05). Following the intervention, the scores of the SAS (47.00 ± 1.93) and SDS (54.08 ± 2.46) of medical interns in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (54.04 ± 1.67), (61.64 ± 2.26), with a p-value of less than 0.05. Conclusion: The AI (Artificial Intelligence) psychological counseling technique has a significant effect in relieving psychological anxiety in medical interns and has high feasibility. Therefore, it is recommended that AI psychological counseling be further improved and be promoted and applied to other populations of medical students who experience anxiety and depression.
