Abstract EN

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of counseling program in stress management among college students with vision disability (because of Intifada) in Gaza.

The sample consists of (120) male and female college students with vision disability.

"Stress" questionnaire was applied on them.

Forty subjects with higher degrees in stress scale were chosen to continue for the interevention program : 20 male students : (10) experimental group, (10) control group, and 20 female students : (10) experimental group, (10) control group.

The questionnaire used in this study was developed by the researchers to measure stress among target group and divided into (7) dimensions.

Then, the counseling program which stemmed from (Ellis) theory to correct irrational beliefs, in addition to positive modification of behavior was applied on experimental sample (10 subjects) through (18) counseling sessions (3 sessions weekly).

Different Statistical methods were used.

Results revealed that the relative mass of total stress (42.61 %) ; the university environment (54.97 %) was the highest, and the family stress (32.17 %) was the lowest.

Also, there are no statistical differences in stress dimensions due to sex (male, female).

The results indicated that there are statistical differences in stress level among experimental group "Pre" and "post" program application towards "post-program" (stress level after application becomes less).

Finally, there are statistical differences in stress level between experimental group and control group after application of program towards "experimental group" (stress level among experimental group becomes less).
