Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a prevalent mental health issue that impairs an individual’s ability to adapt to a traumatic event. This study aims to investigate the intervention effects of perceptual behavioral psychotherapy (PBP) combined with community quality services on patients with ASD.

The study employed a randomized controlled trial design. A total of 100 participants diagnosed with ASD were randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received PBP and community quality services, while the control group received standard care. The Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQ) and the 3-min Confusion Assessment Scale (3D-CAM) were used to assess the participants’ anxiety levels and cognitive functioning, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS23.0 software.

The results showed a significant reduction in anxiety levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Cognitive functioning, as measured by the 3D-CAM, significantly improved in the intervention group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the intervention group reported higher levels of satisfaction with the community quality services received.

Perceptual behavioral psychotherapy combined with community quality services demonstrated positive intervention effects on patients with ASD. The findings suggest that this integrated approach has the potential to improve anxiety levels and cognitive functioning in individuals with ASD. These results highlight the importance of incorporating comprehensive support systems into the treatment of ASD to facilitate recovery and enhance overall well-being. Further research is recommended to validate and generalize these findings.
