Abstract:-
Background:Stress is inevitable to human and the reactions vary from individual to individual. During nursing education and training, students are frequently exposed to stressors which may affect their performance. Dance therapy has positive impact on stress.
Aim: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in selected nursing colleges of Shimla, (H.P) with objective to assess the effectiveness of dance therapy on the level of stress.
Methodology: The study adopted quasi-experimental design. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 Nursing students. Modified Perceived Stress Scale was used to assess the level of stress before and after the dance therapy.
Result:The present study findings have shown that in pre- test, majority of nursing students 80% were in moderate level of stress in experimental group and 87% of nursing students were in moderate level of stress in control group. In post- test, 60% of nursing students were in low level of stress in experimental group. On the other hand, 73.3% of nursing students were in moderate level of stress in control group. Significant association was found between age and level of stress in experimental group. Dance therapy is more effective in age >20 years than in age <20 years as nursing students of age group >20 had shown decreased level of stress after dance therapy as compared to nursing students of age group <20.
