Abstract Details

2001, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
The efficacy of a six-week, comprehensive college campus stress management program that consisted of relaxation training, aerobic exercise, time management, problem solving, assertiveness training, and cognitive restructuring was examined. Stress management participants were compared with a control group on measures of stress management activities, aerobic exercise practice, stress experiences, and symptoms of stress. Compared with controls, the stress management participants showed significant increases in relaxation, exercise, time management, problem solving, and assertiveness practice. There were no significant differences noted between the two groups, from pre to post treatment, on cognitive restructuring practice or the total time spent each week exercising. Although significant increases were noted in the practice of several stress management activities, the stress management program did not produce significant changes in stress experiences. However, relative to the control group, significant decreases in the symptoms of stress were noted for the stress management participants from pre to post treatment conditions.
