A stress management program for students at Kuwait University's Health Science Center reduced depression and stress. Participants were randomly assigned to a control or intervention group; the intervention group received a seminar covering breathing, imagery, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy tips, and other strategies. Among 98 participants (56 intervention, 42 control), the intervention group showed significant improvement in stress and depression compared to the control group. Most participants found the program useful (82.1%) and would recommend it (89.3%). The program was feasible and culturally relevant, though larger trials are needed.
