Abstract

Abstract Background Social anxiety disorder among college students has become a high incidence problem that affects their academic performance, interpersonal development, and mental health. Currently, psychological interventions in universities are mostly limited to individual counseling or group counseling within the school, and the effectiveness of interventions is often limited due to the lack of a generalized and sustained supportive environment. As an important ecosystem, the interaction mode and support level of the family have a profound impact on the social function of college students. Therefore, exploring a collaborative intervention model that integrates school professional resources with family support systems has important theoretical and practical significance for building a long-term and ecological support system. Methods We have developed and implemented a "home school collaboration" joint intervention model. This model consists of three core components: cognitive behavioral group training for students, systematic psychological education workshops for parents, and regular online communication and feedback mechanisms between home and school. The study adopted a quasi experimental design, dividing 72 college students and their main parents diagnosed with moderate or above social anxiety through a scale screening (Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, SAD) into an experimental group (receiving a combined intervention for 8 weeks) and a waiting control group. We conducted follow-up assessments using the Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and the Family Intimacy and Adaptability Scale (FACES II) before, after, and three months after the intervention, and processed the data using repeated measures ANOVA and mediation models. Results Data analysis shows that the home school collaborative intervention model has significant and multidimensional effects. In terms of core symptoms, the total score of LSAS in the experimental group decreased by 36.8% compared to before intervention, significantly better than the 9.2% improvement in the control group (F (1,70) = 31.75, p
