The study was designed with a parallel-group randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effects of a creative drama-based stress management program on the stress, coping, and emotional intelligence levels of nursing students. Nursing students in the experimental group will receive a creative drama-based stress management program for a total of six sessions over three weeks. Students in the active control group will receive three weeks of theoretical training. Students will receive a posttest at the end of the intervention program and a follow-up one month after the intervention. H0-1: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding perceived stress level. H0-2: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding biopsychosocial response level. H0-3: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding stress-coping behaviors. H0-4: There is no difference between the creative drama and control groups regarding emotional intelligence level.
