Under the background of the rapid development of China’s social economy,the family structure has gradually changed,the aging and urbanization have intensified,and the growth rate of per capita life expectancy shows significant gender differences.Female empty nesters have become a special group concerned by the social and academic circles.The mental health of female empty nesters is the focus of attention.Among them,anxiety has been considered to be a kind of psychological and emotional distress that empty nesters generally suffer.Combined with the social and psychological characteristics of female empty nesters,guided by social support theory and advantage perspective,and in the main form of mutual aid group,this paper aims to alleviate their anxiety level by promoting female empty nesters to explore and use personal and environmental resources,correct self cognition,and promote their ability to develop social support network.The main research process includes the following parts: firstly,the basic situation and anxiety status of female empty nesters are understood through questionnaire survey and interview survey,and the influencing factors are analyzed through multiple linear regression;Secondly,according to the problem analysis results of the anxiety of female empty nesters in the early stage,a total of 8 mutual aid group activities were designed and carried out by using the professional theories and skills of social work.At the same time,the control group and experimental group were set up and tested by independent sample t-test.Finally,the elderly Anxiety Scale(GAI)was used to evaluate the anxiety level of the experimental group and the control group again,and the independent sample t-test,post-test and paired sample t-test were carried out.The results showed that after the practical intervention of the mutual aid group,the anxiety level score of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group in the independent sample t-test(P < 0.05),and the post test anxiety level score of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the pre-test anxiety level score in the paired sample t-test(P < 0.05).There was no significant difference between the pre-test and post test anxiety level score of the control group.That is: the design and implementation of mutual aid group activities in this study can effectively alleviate the anxiety of female empty nesters.At the same time,through the summary and Reflection on the practical process and practical theory,aiming at how to alleviate the anxiety of female empty nesters,this paper finally puts forward the following three suggestions: first,tap the internal energy of the family and strengthen the efficiency of parent-child communication;Second,give full play to the professional advantages of social work and expand the level of service intervention;Third,strengthen community support and guidance and build an interactive platform for residents.
