Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: With the present study I aimed to build knowledge on and optimize coping strategies in pupils, also by clarifying the impact following the implementation of a programme aimed to optimize coping strategies to prevent stress, improve problem-solving skills, to acquire stable and healthy developmental patterns among pupils. Objectives: To build knowledge on and enhance coping strategies among pupils, through the optimization programme aimed at creating positive attitudes and developing problem-solving skills. Methods: To conduct the following study I used theoretical methods such as: analysis, synthesis; experimental methods: training experiment (the intervention), as well as descriptive and quantitative statistical methods. In addition, I conducted 30 individual interviews with pupils from primary school, aged from 8 to 10 years old, to identify personal definitions for stress and to better illustrate specific stress sources at school. Results: The analysis of the intervention indicates that coping strategies have been improved following the implementation of the interventional programme. The results of the study bear important implications for any professional involved in educating children (psychologists, parents, and teachers) on how to more adaptively cope with daily stress. Conclusions: The study provided support by making possible to teach pupils coping strategies throughout one academic year. The collected data prove useful in an increasingly growing number of situations and contexts, both in diagnosis purposes and in psycho-educational orientation and intervention. In this respect, a provocative aspect refers to schools engaging in elaborating books, games and tools for families.
