Results: In this study,Mean±SD total score of students in the experimental group before training was,16/55±1/96,and control group was 16/39±2/12 and after training the experimental group 16/72 ± 1/93, and controls16/32 ± 2/15.Mean scores significant increase in cases group and control group has been significant reduction(P<.001) Conclusion: Because of continuing education in our country and entering the university is an issue that occupied the minds; familiarity of students with strategies for stress management, can have a major role in their success.
