Abstract

Background and purpose: HOMESICKNESS is a complex cognitive, exciting and stimulating condition that comes into existence because of the individual’s transition into a new environment and it seems to present the reduction of coping strategies. This research aims to study the effectiveness of the method of ASSERTIVENESS training on HOMESICKNESS of female university students.Materials and methods: This was an interventional study pre and post test study. Among 249 female freshmen, 96 students were found to be suffering from HOMESICKNESS among which 60 students were randomly selected and put in the intervention and control group. The information was gathered by Archer et al., HOMESICKNESS questionnaire which involves 30 expressions, from 1 to 5 likert scale, and also by the researcher’s own questionnaire which involves demographic information. The pre test data were gathered within the first 2 weeks of their arrival to the dormitory. The experimental group took part in 12 90-minute training sessions followed by evaluation 3 weeks after the initial testing. The data were analyzed according to Mann-Whitney test.Results: The pre- test data from the two groups showed no significant difference, however, with the presentation ASSERTIVENESS training, the experimental group grades were significantly higher than control the group. Also, two factors of HOMESICKNESS i.e., not-likening the university and strong attachment to their home did not show a difference in pre test, however, differences in post test were shown to be significant.Conclusion: The results of the study show that ASSERTIVENESS training can be effective in alleviating problems that come up after the transition of the individual into the university and their new environment.
