Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This study explores the influencing factors and evolutionary mechanisms of science popularization short videos in alleviating users’ health anxiety, aims to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological changes of anxious individuals from the perspective of dual-system theory, and proposes targeted intervention strategies for users experiencing health anxiety. [Method/Process] Based on key event technology, in-depth interviews were conducted with users experiencing health anxiety. By collecting and processing the interview data, a model of the elements and mechanisms of the formation and evolutionary path of science popularization short videos in alleviating users’ health anxiety was constructed. Combined with the dual-system theory, the relief path was analyzed in depth. [Result/Conclusion] This study reveals the relationship between the factors and mechanisms involved in the generation of science popularization short videos to alleviate users’ health anxiety. Targeted management strategies are proposed from four mechanisms: situational triggering, attention focus, cognitive control, and behavioral feedback. These strategies provide a reference for effectively alleviating users’ health anxiety.
