This study verified the effectiveness of a psycho-educational program to promote self-efficacy for coping with depression in undergraduates. The experimental group participated in a seven-week program based on cognitive behavior therapy (Oikawa & Sakamoto, 2007) as part of a psychology class, while the control group did not. The prevention program consisted of lectures on cognitive and behavior techniques, group discussion and role-playing, and homework. We increased some complementary explanations and comments to make the program understandable and to increase the motivation of the undergraduates. Both groups completed questionnaires measuring self-efficacy for coping with depression before and after the program. The experimental group understood the content of the program well. The results of t-tests (n=34, the control group; n=35, the experimental group) indicated that participating in the program was an effective method of promoting self-efficacy for coping with depression.
