Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of life skills training on reduction of depression, anxiety and stress among university students. Methods: The study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest, control group and follow up. Thirty female students from all faculties of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili were selected for whom Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS, 1995) was administered as pre and post-test. The sample group members were randomly assigned in equal numbers to two experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group received 8 two-hour sessions of social skills training. At the conclusion of the training series, and after the three-month follow-up, DASS was administered again. Results: Analysis of covariance showed significant differences in pretest, posttest, and follow up scores of depressing, anxiety, and stress subscales between experimental and control groups, so that experimental group had significant reduction in aforementioned components (p<0. 01). Conclusions: Based on the findings, it appears that life skills training is capable of reducing depression, anxiety, and stress among female university students. Clinical applications, limitations, and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
