College students are prone to stress due to the transitional nature of college life and academic pressure. They must adjust to being away from home for the first time, maintain a high level of academic achievement, and adjust to a new social environment. Coping deals with the way people manage those situations or conditions that are perceived as stressful. In the literature of coping, coping responses have been conceived of as structural or personality characteristics based on psychoanalytic ego-psychology. The study aimed to compare the main sources of stress and coping styles between graduation and post-graduation students. The study was taken in the Don Bosco Academy, Degree and P.G College, Nalgonda. Students enrolled for graduation and post-graduation courses (n=120) were recruited for the study. The researcher administered socio-demographic interview schedule, student stress survey to the students (40 items) and the brief cope inventory (28 items). Ethical issues have been followed while conducting the study. It was found that overall daily hassles were reported more often than major life events, with intrapersonal sources of stress being the most frequently reported source. The top five sources of stress were; change in sleeping habits, vacations/breaks, change in eating habits, increased work load, and new responsibilities. The results have generally shown that problem-focused coping, e.g., planning, is associated with positive academic and personal adjustment, and that emotion-focused coping, e.g., aggressive coping, is associated with emotional and behavioral problems. The findings from this study may be further used to examine which sources of stress and poor coping styles cause the highest levels of stress among college students, and it may be helpful in creating effective stress management programs for the student population.Keywords

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by M Lepare. It affects mainly the peripheral nerves. It also affects the skin, muscles, eyes, bones, testes, and internal organs. In India, leprosy is known since ancient times as Kustiaroga and attributed to punishment or cause from God. During the middle ages, leprosy was widespread in almost all countries of the world. Thereafter, it declined slowly in many countries, partly due to strict isolation and partly due to improvements in the standard of living and the quality of life of the people. The study aimed to assess psychological distress and quality of life among persons with leprosy. This cross sectional study included 60 persons with Leprosy from Leprosy colony of Telangana, India, after obtaining their written consent. A semi-structured tool was used to elicit socio-demographic details. The psychological distress was assessed with DASS (21 items) and quality of life was assessed with WHOQOL-BREF (25 items). Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics tests and T-test were used. Ethical issues have been followed while conducting the study. It was found that majority of the respondents have psychological distress without any significant difference in male and female respondents which means both respondents psychological distress scale was elevating in depression, anxiety and stress domains due to leprosy and all most all domains of quality of life shows respondents were having poor quality of life. The findings from this study indicates that there was enormous scope for the social workers, they need to play various roles like preventive, curative, developmental and remedial roles for reducing psychological distress and to improve their quality of life among persons with leprosy.Keywords
