10. Summary of thesis results:

Research on the current status of anxiety disorders (ADDs) of students in the surveyed area shows that: students' awareness of ADDs is still limited. Most students clearly identify ADDs as stress, anxiety, fatigue and physical and mental damage, directly affecting students' activities and lives. To take good care of ADDs in the school environment, students have basic awareness of methods and measures for this problem. However, there are still a few students who have not shown accurate awareness of measures that are effective in the long term in taking care of ADDs in schools.

Our research results also reflect to some extent the current state of RLLA of university students with physical and mental manifestations, and at different levels. The collected survey data shows that the problems that students with RLLA encounter are mainly the pressures caused by studying. Influential factors such as psychological characteristics, family or social relationships are also the causes of RLLA in students, but are not the decisive factors.

The consequences of RLLA, whether considered serious or less serious, have negative impacts on learning activities, cognitive-emotional development and relationships around students. They directly affect students themselves, when they do not have the skills to deal with RLLA that occurs.

Currently, in the research area, there are measures to promote RLLA care in schools that have been applied at a specific level, but they are not thorough, comprehensive and new in nature, not focusing on each specific individual. Favorable conditions in terms of facilities, teaching methods, extracurricular activities, clubs, etc. all contribute effectively to reducing RLLA for students. However, these solutions are not consistent and not long-term. Therefore, the application of group social work intervention measures through the group work process according to this method is completely suitable for the conditions in the research area on the basis of combining and exploiting the effectiveness of the school's self-study room system and promoting students to participate in other activities such as clubs, student volunteers... With this approach, the initial results are quite successful, the set goals have been achieved to a certain extent, we want to propose a model of group social work with the role of social workers in schools to help students detect, prevent and reduce current RLLA in a more practical and effective way.

11. Practical application:

Intervention based on group social work is a positive solution that needs to be promoted and developed in school models in general and universities in particular. It contributes to building skills and forming positive psychological behaviors for students through group activities.

12. Further research directions: (if any)

11. Thesis abstract:

Research on the situation of anxiety disorders (AD) of students in the studied site showed that students' awareness about AD is limited. Most students explicitly recognized about AD as stress, anxiety, fatigue, physical and mental damage, directly affecting students' daily life. The students have obtained basic awareness of ways and methods to this matter to take good care of AD in the school environment. However, there are few of them who cannot be exactly aware of effective measures to bring long-term care for school AD.

The research also provides certain reflections about the situation of student AD at Thang Long University, physically and mentally, with a variety of levels. The survey data reveals that the problems that students with AD mainly encounter are due to academic pressures. Affecting factors such as psychological characteristics, family or social relationships are other, but not decisive, causes of students' present anxiety disorders.

Consequences of anxiety disorders have a negative effect on learning activities, the process of cognitive - emotional development and relationships around the students; no matter it is considered serious or less serious in nature. It directly affects the students themselves, as they do not have proper skills to deal with concurrent anxiety disorders.

Currently, in the study area there are measures to promote care for AD in school. They have been applied in a particular level but not thorough, comprehensive and new to anticipate, rather to mostly resolve after the incident occurred with consequences. The favorable conditions of facilities, methods of teaching, extracurricular programs, clubs etc. all contribute effectively to reduce student AD. However, these solutions are not synchronous, long-term. Therefore, the application of social work intervention with group is perfectly suited to the conditions in the study area based on the combination and efficient utilization of the self-study room system. With this approach, initial effects are successful with the achievement of objectives at a certain level. Therefore, the model of social work with groups is proposed with the role of social workers in school to help students to detect, prevent and mitigate AD more practically and efficiently.

12. Possibility of Application:

The intervention based on social work with group is an effective procedure that calls for further encouragement and promotion in schools generally and in universities particularly. It contributes to building and forming positive psychological behavior during group activities.
