Cognitive-Behavioral Psychoeducational Program for Cultural Adaptation and Psychological Resilience Among International Students
31. august 2026 oppdatert av: Dilem Öke, European University of Lefke
The Effect of a Psychological Adaptation and Psychological Resilience Psychoeducation Program on Acculturative Stress Among International Students
This study evaluated a psychoeducational program developed to support psychological adaptation and resilience among first-year international university students experiencing elevated acculturative stress.
Participants who met the study eligibility criteria were assigned to one of three study conditions: a cognitive-behavioral psychoeducation group, a placebo-control group receiving career guidance activities, or a waiting-list control group.
The psychoeducational intervention was delivered over eight weeks.
Psychological adaptation, resilience, and acculturative stress-related outcomes were assessed using standardized self-report measures before and after the intervention.
The study aimed to examine whether participation in the psychoeducational program was associated with changes in these psychological outcomes compared with the two control conditions.

Change in Acculturative Stress
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
|
Acculturative stress was assessed using the Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students (ASSIS), developed by Sandhu and Asrabadi (1994).
The ASSIS consists of 36 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Total scores range from 36 to 180, with higher scores indicating greater acculturative stress.
Change in ASSIS total scores from baseline to post-intervention was evaluated.
