A narrative review of anxiety regulation in PhD students based on Green model
Open accessAbstract
To gain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to anxiety among PhD students and the reasons for poor regulation in the current situation, this paper analyses the existing literature on anxiety among PhD students using Green's model. It also compares and evaluates various methods of regulating anxiety. The literature review to extract information on the causes and levels of anxiety, methods and outcomes of anxiety intervention and regulation, and to make comparisons. The study reveals that the phenomenon of PhD students' anxiety has intensified globally in recent years, especially after the end of the epidemic. PhD students experience anxiety due to research pressure, economic pressure, future development, and interpersonal pressure. The main influencing factors are currently the relationship with the supervisor, development prospects, social support, and peer comparison. Among the stress relief methods, the regulation of self-relaxation was found to have better effects on mild anxiety, such as positive thinking, meditation, yoga and physical exercise can be helpful for emotion release then help focus on problem solved. Whereas severe anxiety may require institutional and pharmacological support, also including using psychological therapy such as behavioral cognitive therapy and systematic desensitization methods. For university, competence to provide course-assisted guidance, such as writing groups, peer support, and time management, is also important. Academic communities should pay attention to the guidance on academic fairness. However, PhD students are often unaware of the resources available to them for coping with stress and may not take the initiative to seek psychological counseling or institutional assistance. Therefore, PhD students should receive support from various sources, be guided to express their thoughts, and receive additional education and academic assistance to manage stress. This will enhance their confidence and aid in improving their scientific research.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This narrative review applies Green’s PRECEDE-PROCEED model to synthesize literature on PhD student anxiety, its contributing factors, and regulation strategies. It concludes that mild anxiety may respond to self-regulation such as exercise, meditation, and yoga, while severe anxiety often requires institutional, psychological, and pharmacological support.
Key findings
- PhD anxiety is described as intensifying globally, especially after the epidemic, with pressures from research, economics, future development, and interpersonal relationships; the main influencing factors identified are supervisor relationship, development prospects, social support, and peer comparison.
- Among epidemiological figures cited, a 2019 *Nature* survey of 6,300 PhD students found 72% of international PhD students were satisfied and 36% sought help for anxiety or depression linked to their PhD, while in China 55% expressed satisfaction and 40% sought help; a Chinese study reported a 24.76% anxiety detection rate among 315 medical doctors.
- Social/environmental pressures include a 48% increase in Chinese national PhD enrollment from 2009 to 2018 alongside a 22.65% decline in CSSCI publication volume; about 80% of 567 journals examined showed downward publication volume, with 48% decreasing by over 20%.
- Regulation effects: self-relaxation was found to work better for mild anxiety, while severe anxiety may require institutional and pharmacological support, including behavioral cognitive therapy and systematic desensitization; a 5-day, 30-minute mindfulness meditation program including 15 min of mindfulness practice significantly improved stress coping, reduced anxiety symptoms, and enhanced academic focus.
Methods
- Narrative review using Green’s PRECEDE-PROCEED model, analyzing influencing factors from PRECEDE and evaluating intervention programs from PROCEED.
- Searched PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest for English-language studies and Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI for Chinese-language studies, using keywords “anxiety” AND “PhD” AND “regulation” from inception to March 2024.
- Based on PRISMA 2020 identification, 48 studies were included, comprising cross-sectional studies, intervention research, and qualitative interviews; the review reports only three interventional studies, all with small sample sizes and non-RCT designs.
Limitations
- Stated: the reviewed literature primarily engages case studies, qualitative research, and cross-sectional surveys, identifying only three interventional studies, all noted for small sample sizes and non-RCT designs.
- Stated: future research should extend to cross-cultural comparative analyses and longitudinal investigations.
- Evident from the text: the review is narrative rather than a systematic meta-analysis, and no formal quality appraisal of the included 48 studies is described, limiting causal or pooled-effect conclusions.

“Instead, studies have examined the general population, revealing that compared to inactive adults, those engaging in half the recommended amount of physical activity—equating to 4.4 marginal metabolic equivalent task hours per week (mMET-h/wk)—observed an 18% reduced risk of depression.”

The Results (Dose-Response Analyses) state that, relative to adults reporting no activity, those accumulating 4.4 mMET-h/wk—half the recommended volume—had an 18% lower risk of depression. The source describes this as an association, consistent with the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.95)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
