Abstract

Art therapy workshops were implemented for university students who admitted to be going through university stress, which was affecting their results, in order to reduce their stressors and improve their academic performance. The methods of Fux (2007) and Sheykholya (2013) were used, adapting them for young people. Based on this, a descriptive, mixed and cross-sectional study was carried out; a Likert scale of observation developed for this purpose was applied before and at the end of the workshops. As part of the results, significant changes were found in their attitude to work in heterogeneous groups and in teams, to their musical appreciation and with material content and even more to express their emotions with appreciation for the group. It is important to continue developing these workshops and favor more university students. It is also important to continue conducting correlational, causal and longitudinal studies that give basis to the management of resources to impact a larger population.
