Due to reasons such as low education and limited job options, rural residents face significant life pressure. Some residents often feel anxious about their work and life, and have significant psychological anxiety. With the horn of the rural revitalization strategy being sounded, the rural economy has begun to develop, and the rural tourism industry has seen a new turn, providing new sources of economic income for residents. In this regard, the study focuses on residents and analyzes the impact of rural revitalization strategy and coordinated development of tourism on residents’ psychological anxiety.

The study selected 100 residents with psychological anxiety and randomly divided them into two groups, with 50 in both the control group and the observation group. The former adopts a rural revitalization strategy, while the latter develops the tourism industry based on the former, lasting for 6 months. Using the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) to measure the level of psychological anxiety among residents, the data was processed using SPSS23.0 software.

After the experiment, the psychological anxiety symptoms of the two groups of residents were improved through testing. In the SAS score, the observation group’s score was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).

Through the coordinated development of rural revitalization strategy and tourism industry, while generating income for residents, it alleviates their economic pressure, improves their quality of life, and relieves their psychological anxiety.
