ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effects of a two-week intervention involving digital-supported journaling on stress levels, resilience, and solution-focused thoughts in a sample of 60 medical aspirants. The experimental group (n=30) engaged in daily journaling, while the control group (n=30) followed standard routines. Stress, Resilience, and Solution Focused Thoughts were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, and Solution Focused Inventory respectively. Results of paired sample t-tests revealed a significant reduction in stress levels (p < .001) and an increase in resilience (p < .001) and solution-focused thoughts (p < .001) among the intervention group. These findings suggest that digital-supported journaling may be a valuable tool for improving the psychological well-being and readiness of medical aspirants. However, further research with larger samples and longer intervention periods is recommended.
