N\AAbstract
Background: Our progressive society is exemplified by completing various activities, intense competition and struggle, and a never-ending time pressure, all of which contribute to stress, which young individuals, who have just entered adulthood after childhood, suffer to a greater extent. This research is conducted to determine whether of Jacobson's Technique and Deep Breathing Technique is more beneficial in reducing stress in young people.
Materials & Methods: The subject was instructed and familiarized with the procedure. A pool of subject was randomly created depending upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stress was measured by using Perceived Stress Scale, prior to the techniques to get a baseline of measurement. The subjects were divided into two groups. The subjects be randomly allocated into Group A and Group B. Group A(N=30) was given Jacobson’s Technique and Group B(N=30) was given Deep Breathing Technique.
Results: The results of the study shows that there is a significant effect in both the groups for stress (P<0.05). GROUP A PRE-DATA (25.23±1.765) and after the treatment GROUP A POST DATA (11.32±1.506). GROUP B PRE-DATA shows (26.01±1.627) and after the treatment GROUP B POST DATA (10.89±1.626). The post results comparison of both the groups shows that there not a significant difference between the post groups of both the groups as compared using paired t test. (p value =0.425).
Conclusion: By the results of the research, we may infer that both interventions had a considerable impact. Both Jacobson's Technique and Deep Breathing are equally efficient in alleviating stress in adults. More research with a larger sample size is required to determine the precise impacts on the participants.
