Abstract
Background. Depression, stress, and anxiety are some of the most prevalent disorders people face today.
Methods. The purpose of this research is to identify how effective hope therapy is in helping persons with mood disorders cope with their symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. In this investigation, a quasi-experimental strategy was taken, and one-time testing was used. Using convenience sampling, we selected three female students from Tabriz University who sought out the therapy clinic for help with cognitive issues. Each individual underwent an initial round of assessments followed by two rounds of hope treatment before being brought on board. In addition, the DASS-21 was completed by the participants while they were engaged in therapeutic activities.
Results. The levels of effects and eyes analysis were taken into account for the data analysis from the perspective of clinical significance. Stress, anxiety, and depression were all reduced by at least 50% across all three participants, with average reductions of 51.33, 49.7, and 84.7%, respectively; and this improvement was further enhanced during the study's control phase. The therapeutic alterations were also statistically significant, as indicated by the fact that the indices of amounts of effects for all three areas were calculated to be greater than 0.25. Overall, the results show that hope treatment was effective in lowering levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Conclusion. The effects of hope therapy on students' stress, anxiety, and depression were the focus of this research. The results showed that the hope therapy had a positive effect on the participants, resulting in less stress, anxiety, and depression.
