چکیده:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of problem solving training in changing university students' coping strategies. Therefore، 20 university students were selected by using convenience sampling and were allocated in 2 groups (10 students for experimental group and 10 students for control group). Experimental group received problem solving training in 7 sessions. Before doing problem solving training، both of the groups were assessed by Billings & Moss coping strategies questionnaire. Experimental and control groups did not have significant difference in pre-test. After the training for experimental group، two groups were assessed by above questionnaires again. Differences in pre-test and post-test between two groups were analyzed with help of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results showed that problem solving training in experimental group cause significant difference in some of coping strategies (problem solving and getting social support). Also clinical differences in other coping strategies (cognitive evaluation، emotional inhibition and body inhibition) were found، However they are not statistically significant. It can be concluded that. Problem solving training can change coping strategies and the results were similar to previous studies in this field.

The results indicated that problem-solving training causes a change in coping strategies, in some of which (problem-solving, seeking social support) the difference between the experimental group and the control group is statistically significant.
The results of another research hypothesis, based on the idea that training problem-solving methods has a positive effect on social support-seeking, show that the pre-test - post-test mean difference between these two groups has a significant difference.
The results of the study by Hartmann4, Bonnaud-Antignanc5, Cercle6, Dabouis and 7 Dravet8 (2007), which was also conducted on 60 women with breast cancer, showed the effectiveness of training coping strategies in increasing problem-solving skills and social support.

The results of the statistical analysis confirmed the hypothesis that problem-solving training leads to an increase in coping focused on seeking social support, and the confirmation of this hypothesis is consistent with other similar studies (Mc Donell 1, Limber 2, Conner-Godbey 3, 2007; Hartmann et al.
The results of the statistical analysis regarding the hypothesis that problem-solving training leads to a reduction in emotion-suppression-focused coping in the experimental group compared to the control group indicated its lack of statistical significance.
