Detailed description

This study is designed to evaluate the relationship between coping with stress, perceived stress, and life satisfaction within a causal framework using an experimental mediating model. The study examines the effect of structured stress coping training on participants' perceived stress and life satisfaction. Psychoeducation is widely used in mental health settings to improve individuals' understanding of emotions, stress, and coping strategies. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in specific populations is limited. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a psychoeducation program and performing a stress task, or a control group receiving no intervention and performing a stress task, for the duration of the study. The psychoeducation program will be delivered in a group format and will focus on topics such as emotional awareness, stress management, adaptive coping skills, and problem-solving. Data will be collected using self-report measures following completion of the intervention. The study does not involve any pharmacological treatment or medical devices and is considered to be of minimal risk. The results of this study are expected to shed light on future psychosocial intervention programs.
