Development of the psychoeducation model to decrease academic stress when Learning From Home (LFH)

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and test the acceptability and effectiveness of the psychoeducation model to decrease academic stress when learning from home (LFH). This research used a development research design, with two main objectives: developing the product and testing the effectiveness of the product. The instruments used were questionnaires on rating scales about aspects of product utility, feasibility, accuracy and also stress academic scale. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative data were analysed by descriptive statistical analysis, while qualitative data in the form of comments, suggestions and criticisms were analysed qualitatively. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the psychoeducation model developed fulfils the acceptability criteria which includes utility, feasibility and accuracy. The developed psychoeducation model is effective in reducing academic stress among college students when LFH.

Eficacia de las intervenciones no farmacológicas para la reducción del estrés académico en estudiantes universitarios: una revisión sistemática

“…Con respecto a los cinco estudios que aglutinan psicoeducación más diferentes técnicas cuerpo mente (técnicas de respiración, relajación muscular, meditación, musicoterapia), sus intervenciones logran una reducción del estrés académico, si bien tres de ellos carecieron de grupo control (Manansingh et al, 2019;Narasimma y Ahmani, 2013;Nursalim et al, 2021).

This method is considered appropriate by the researchers for providing services to the community as a preventive attempt to prevent children from becoming victims of sexual violence.…”

Prediction of students' COVID‐19 resilience: An artificial neural network based on gender, age, stress intensity, and mindfulness variables

“…Exclusion and inequality are likely to worsen, especially among already disadvantaged and vulnerable populations (Yarrow, Masood, & Afkar, 2020). Several studies pointed out the once‐face‐to‐face educational style has evolved into an online one that stresses certain students, with almost 50% experiencing severe stress (Defina & Rizkillah, 2021; Nursalim et al, 2021; Saroinsong et al, 2020; Wahyu & Simanullang, 2020). Therefore, indicating any positive factor, including preventive factors, might be the key to supporting students' recovery period as their creation of resilience.…”
