Abstract

Parents of special children will encounter many difficulties and pressures in the process of raising special children, which will cause discomfort in mental health, such as depression. Depression is usually accompanied by cognitive decline, and its working memory will be damaged. The existing tools are cumbersome for the test of depression and working memory capacity. For general hospitals, rapid and convenient diagnosis of patients ' depression and working memory is of great practical significance for doctors to make treatment plans. Therefore, this experiment first tested the applicability of Zung self rating depression scale (SDS) in parents of special children, and simplified the SDS on this basis. Secondly, the effectiveness of depression and working memory tasks in active health mini-programs will be investigated. In this experiment, 125 parents were recruited. (1) The internal consistency coefficient of SDS was 0.83; (2) Split-half reliability, Spearman-Brown correction coefficient was 0.72; (3) Factor analysis, According to the Ksiser method, five factors were obtained by the criterion of eigenvalue ≥ 1, the characteristic roots were 5.38, 3.07, 1.72, 1.12 and 1.01, respectively, which explained 22.59%, 15.82%, 8.05%, 7.83% and 7.18% of the variation values, and the cumulative contribution rate was 61.47%, Four factors were obtained by reclassifying the factors with too few variables; (4) There was a significant positive correlation between the small program depression score and the SDS, r = 0.42, P < 0.001; (5) There was a significant positive correlation between small program working memory name and memory color, r = 0.25, P < 0.05; (6) There was a significant positive correlation between the correct number of small program memory items and the position 1 of Bcak corsi knock task (BCT), r = 0.49, P < 0.01; (7) There was a significant negative correlation between the correct number of small program memory items and the position 2 of BCT, r = -0.56, P < 0.01; (8) There was a significant positive correlation between the two memory positions of BCT, r = -0.81, P < 0.01. The results showed that although it did not fully reflect the patient's overall depression or working memory status, the self-assessment of depression and working memory in the small program can reflect the patient's depression and cognitive impairment. It is an effective and simple tool.
