Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop a psycho-educational program for promoting active use of distraction coping as a self-regulation method among university students. A 4-week psycho-educational program was developed based on the results of previous questionnaire studies about using distraction coping in stressful events. The program consisted of lectures on cognitive behaviour skills and knowledge, discussion and homework. The lectures also included psychology theories and research related to stress and effective use of coping. Participants rated the degree of their understanding in each session and made overall evaluation after the end of the program. Participants also completed a questionnaire measuring their self-efficacy for using distraction, other coping, and relaxation techniques before the start of the program and after each session. Their rating and comments about the program suggested that particiants regarded the program as meaningful. The results of questionnaires suggested that the program was useful in improving self-efficacy for using distraction coping effectively.
