title: [Study of the effect of interpersonal stress coping training on reducing stress response: a research of student nurses].
abstract: This study investigated, the effect of interpersonal stress coping training on reducing stress response of 100 student nurses. They were divided into two groups; the coping training (CT) group and the no training control (NT) group. During a three-week period, 50 participants in the CT group were required to adopt postponed-solution coping and keep daily records of how they coped with interpersonal distress. All participants were asked to complete a self-reported questionnaire including measures of distress and coping strategies before and after the training, and also after a 18-week follow-up period. The CT group, compared with the NT group, significantly improved their postponed-solution coping after the training. The CT group was found to be significantly lower in distress than the NT group both after the training and after the follow-up period.
