فاعلية برنامجي إرشاد جمعي التدريب على حل المشكلات والاسترخاء العضلي في ضبط التوتر النفسي

Abstract

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two group-counseling programs in problem solving and muscle relaxation on stress management. Sample of the Study Consisted of (30) students of seventh and eighth grades who were selected from those who suffered from stress according to their grades on stress scale (pre-test). Subjects were randomly assigned to three groups, two experimental groups and one control group. The two experimental groups were trained for ten sessions. The treatment was immediately followed by a post-test (stress scale), and a delayed post-test two weeks after the completion of the treatment. The results indicated that there were significant differences (a= 0 05) between the two experimental groups and the control group on both post-test and delayed post-test in favour of the two experimental groups. Moreover, results revealed no significant differences between the two experimental groups on both post-test and delayed post-test in terms of stress reduction.
