Summary

The study was designed with a parallel-group randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effects of a creative drama-based stress management program on the stress, coping, and emotional intelligence levels of nursing students. Nursing students in the experimental group will receive a creative drama-based stress management program for a total of six sessions over three weeks. Students in the active control group will receive three weeks of theoretical training. Students will receive a posttest at the end of the intervention program and a follow-up one month after the intervention.

H0-1: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding perceived stress level.

H0-2: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding biopsychosocial response level.

H0-3: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding stress-coping behaviors.

H0-4: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding emotional intelligence level.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Creative Drama-Based Stress Management Program

A creative drama-based stress management program is an intervention that aims to reduce nursing students' stress levels and increase their coping and emotional intelligence skills.

BEHAVIORAL

Training

In the study, the control group will receive health education training for three weeks. This method aims to prevent any loss of motivation that might result from the control group not receiving any training. It also helps determine whether the effects observed in the experimental group are due solely to the creative drama-based stress management program or to the overall training process.
