We will also compare these outcomes between two groups: one receiving the intervention and the other not receiving any treatment.

Study Tasks:

Participants, who are University Students aged 21-30 years, were asked to provide informed consent to participate in the study. They completed questionnaires to assess their Life skills, Psychological distress, Well-being, and Quality of life as a pre-assessment.

Participants in the intervention group undergo the Life Skill Intervention, which includes activities like Team building skills, Leadership Skills, Self-respect and appreciation, Effective Communication Skills, Dealing with stress, Positive Thinking, Enhancing confidence, Volunteering, Decision Taking, Problem Solving, Conflict Resolution, Negotiating.

After the intervention, participants completed a post-assessment questionnaires to measure changes in Life skills, Psychological distress, Well-being, and Quality of life.

There will be a control group that does not receive any treatment.

Comparison Group:

Researchers compared the outcomes between the intervention group, who received the Life Skill Intervention and the control group, who did not receive any treatment. This will help us determine if the intervention had a significant impact on Life skills, Psychological distress, Well-being, and Quality of life outcomes for University students.
