Assessment of a stress-management course for students

Background. Mental and physical stress begins when studies begin, but stress management courses can counteract this. In addition to the identification of study-related stress and existing coping mechanisms, the effect of individually learned coping strategies should be considered. Material and methods. This study involved 18 university students (24.2 +/- 23 years) and involved three psychological questionnaires (AVEM, KOEPS, SVF) given at the beginning, after 8 weeks in the course, and after 3 months of use at home. Results. The results showed that 88.9% of the students had a health risk AVEM pattern, with partially strong physical and psychological symptoms reported. While all students showed AVEM risk model performance, the health pattern increased. Conclusion. Knowledge of certain characteristics and coping patterns allows targeted therapeutic interventions in the context of individual preventive measures.
