The Coping Skills Training program will take place in a total of 10 online sessions, and the entire program was implemented in 10 weeks. The duration of each session is between 40 and 50 minutes, and it is determined as 5 minutes of introduction to the session, recognizing the general topics, 5 minutes of briefly summarizing the previous session, and the subject of the session for 30-40 minutes. In all sessions, reflections previously prepared with the power point program were used. In the sessions, question-answer method, audio-visual (audio-visual) method, role-playing and performance feedback phases were used when necessary. In addition to knowledge, experiences were also emphasized in education and it was possible to make comparisons with the subject learned in education.
