Stress Management Program Research
Purpose of the Research
This study explored how a stress management program could help women with reproductive disorders in an outpatient setting.
What the Stress Management Program Includes
The program lasted eight weeks and focused on reducing stress and anxiety and promoting physical relaxation. Participants learned and practiced:
- Relaxation techniques,
- Nutritional counseling,

Each participant tracked their progress weekly by filling out symptom response sheets. They also completed a questionnaire at the start, midway, and end of the program.

By the end of the program, participants reported feeling significantly more positive and less stressed. Their overall stress scores dropped by 42%.
Results for Specific Groups

Those with depression saw a 42% reduction.
Those with anxiety saw a 48% reduction.
