Book Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Stress Management Training Program on perceived stress, self-efficacy and coping styles of preparatory school students in Middle East Technical University. Pre-posttest experimental control group design was used to investigate the effectiveness of Stress Management Training Program. Before the main study, reliability and validity studies of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), College Adjustment Self-efficacy Scale (CASES) and Student Coping Instrument (SCOPE) were carried out with one hundred and forty one students. Three hundred and sixty six students (154 females and 212 males) contributed the main study. Among them, sixteen students were randomly assigned in the experimental and control group. While the Stress Management Training Program was applied for experimental group, control group did not receive any treatment. The program continued for six weeks, once a week for 90 minutes. The program included the effective and in-effective ways of coping with stress, emotions and thoughts that affect behaviors, relaxation training, problem solving and assertiveness training. ANOVA, Mann-Withney U and two-related samples Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze data. The results of analysis of variance showed a gender difference between males and females. Females had higher scores in perceived stress, socially related life events and emotion-focused coping. The results of Wilcoxon test showed a significant reduction between pre and post test scores of experimental group in perceived stress scores and the frequency of socially related life events. No difference was found for CASES and SCOPE. At the end of the study, the findings were discussed and recommendations were presented.

Book Description
Stress-coping strategies are identified by researchers as conditions used suitable to a situation when adolescents have a change in their environment or a stressor that they cannot control. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the impact of stress-coping strategies on perceived stress levels, levels of intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy. According to the research, stress results from an imbalance between the requirements of the environment and one's ability to cope with it (Aldwin, 2007). The inquiry was conducted in a high school of convenience where the researcher had access to the students available to participate in this mixed-method design. The use of suitable coping strategies depends on several factors. Three researched-based stress-coping strategies were examined. Emotion-focused, avoidance-focused, and problem-focused skills were implemented into the study, and focus groups were used to embed the quantitative findings into the qualitative survey results. Research has shown that adolescents often benefit when they can combine one or more coping strategies to address the stressor. Since strategies have benefits and costs associated with them, it is necessary to identify the long-lasting stressors adolescents face in order to find a response related to or based on the context of the stressor. The descriptive analysis of the presurvey and postsurvey, implementation of strategies, and open-ended discussion data collected were analyzed to determine the impact stress-coping strategies have on perceived stress levels, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy. A Chi-Square Goodness of Fit was used to indicate the distribution of responses along with the percentage of agreement between respondents on the whole item. The researcher combined three instruments into one survey to measure the students' perceived stress levels, levels of intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy. The presurvey and postsurvey design was performed to determine a correlation in these three variables. The data from the quantitative and qualitative design combined were used to answer the three questions and to review any possible correlations of the three variables to determine a relationship using a Pearson correlation and t test. Results, strengths of the study, and limitations are discussed in the final dissertation.

Book Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between coping styles, self-care strategies and perceived stress level during the first semester of enrollment in a graduate program in psychology. Participants were 67 graduate students enrolled either in a Counseling Psychology master's program or a Clinical Psychology doctoral program at a Pacific Northwest university. Self report questionnaires were used to assess levels of perceived stress, coping styles, self-care practices, and demographics. Although there were no overall significant differences related to perceived stress, there were significant correlations within demographic sub-groups related to coping styles and self-care practices. Future research is necessary to determine if these self-care patterns might vary for practitioner focused versus research focused programs and to determine the stability of the self-care patterns throughout graduate training and career establishment.

Book Description
Earning a professional degree can be a gratifying experience, but it also can be a phase of apprehension and stress, as students are faced with personal, work, and academic challenges that involve demands on their selves, time, relationships, and finances. Students' wellbeing is a growing concern for mental health professionals and educators. Thus, the following prevention program design called the MeFirst Program was created to educate graduate students about stress and the stress reduction effects of specific coping mechanisms, such as self-efficacy, physical exercise, and social support. The target population consists of graduate students enrolled in master's and doctoral psychology degree program. This program will also discuss factors (e.g. multiple demanding roles) that place graduate students, a relatively unexplored population, at a higher risk of developing significant stress. The program will also provide support and resources for graduate students to help reduce stress. Valid and reliable assessment tools will be used at the beginning and ending of the program to evaluate its effectiveness- Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), a modified version of Bandura's Self-Efficacy Scale and the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ). It is expected that psychology graduate students in the MeFirst program will be able to increase social support, exercise, and efficacy and reduce their stress levels. In addition, future improvements to the program will be discussed. The strengths and limitations of the proposed program and future plans for the growth of the program will be discussed.

Book Description
Strategies used to cope with stress are health behaviors that can influence both stress levels and stress-related health outcomes. When practiced long-term, coping behaviors that are approach-oriented or health-enhancing tend to be adaptive, and those that are avoidant or health-risk tend to be maladaptive. Stress coping interventions in the current literature will often only focus on increasing adaptive behaviors, but decreasing maladaptive behaviors may follow a separate health behavior change process. The current exploratory study tested a basic health behavior change framework with the use of general self-efficacy (GSE), because task-specific self-efficacy is a common predictor of health behaviors according to many theoretical models. College student participants were cross-sectionally administered surveys that measured GSE, adaptive and maladaptive coping behaviors, and perceived stress. The results showed an indirect negative effect of GSE on perceived stress through maladaptive coping, but adaptive coping did not act as a mediator. Additionally, participants with a high adaptive/low maladaptive coping profile reported significantly lower PSS levels than those with a low adaptive/high maladaptive profile. This provides preliminary support for the idea that maladaptive coping behaviors may be changed independently from adaptive coping, although more research is needed in the context of full health behavior change models. Future stress coping interventions could be enhanced by addressing both components, in order to create the most optimal coping profile for stress reduction, above and beyond the benefits of altering adaptive coping alone.

Book Description
In times of uncertainty and crisis, the mental health of individuals become a concern as added stressors and pressures can cause depression, anxiety, and stress. Today, especially with more people than ever experiencing these effects due to the Covid-19 epidemic and all that comes along with it, discourse around mental health has gained heightened urgency. While there have always been stigmas surrounding mental health, the continued display of these biases can add to an already distressing situation for struggling individuals. Despite the experience of mental health issues becoming normalized, it remains important for these issues to be addressed along with adequate education about mental health so that it becomes normalized and discussed in ways that are beneficial for society and those affected. Along with raising awareness of mental health in general, there should be a continued focus on treatment options, methods, and modes for healthcare delivery. The Research Anthology on Mental Health Stigma, Education, and Treatment explores the latest research on the newest advancements in mental health, best practices and new research on treatment, and the need for education and awareness to mitigate the stigma that surrounds discussions on mental health. The chapters will cover new technologies that are impacting delivery modes for treatment, the latest methods and models for treatment options, how education on mental health is delivered and developed, and how mental health is viewed and discussed. It is a comprehensive view of mental health from both a societal and medical standpoint and examines mental health issues in children and adults from all ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds and in a variety of professions, including healthcare, emergency services, and the military. This book is ideal for psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, religious leaders, mental health support agencies and organizations, medical professionals, teachers, researchers, students, academicians, mental health practitioners, and more.

Book Description
Stress can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, creed, or race. It can rear its head anywhere and anytime, and it has likely been a fact of life since prehistoric days. While stress is obviously a concern of all, it has particular resonance among college students, from freshmen experiencing their first separation from home to seniors having to find that first job. In addition, students have to face other worries like time constraints, grades, and financial woes. Stress also can afflict an entire group, as witnessed by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. With stress such an indisputable part of life, it is of critical importance for individuals to learn to cope with it. This book is geared towards college courses in stress management, which have been found to reduce the symptoms of stress and raise self-esteem among students. College students will find it especially helpful to learn how to cope with stress at a young age, so as to be ready to face life in "the real world." Throughout the book are helpful and varied techniques for dealing with stress, along with "principles of living" that most people can use in daily life. Examples of these principles include continuous self-evaluation, talking things over, recognising one's accomplishments, and taking things less seriously. Given the need to face and adapt to stressful situations throughout life, the education offered by this book is informative, insightful, and practical for everyday use.
