The experimental group participants were provided intervention for 21 days for an average of 45minutes/day. Postintervention asssessment was done (1day), follow up(15 days). Eligibility criteria included students who were undergraduates and studying in selected nursing institutes (1), willing to participate (2), having their own personal smart phones (3), Having lower and moderate level of psychological well being and moderately satisfied and unsatisfied level of self satisfaction; after screening from RYFF tool for psychological well being and self satisfaction measurement scale for self satisfaction (4). Discriptive and inferential test were used for analysis and P value <.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 112 participants were included in the analysis. The finding showed that majority 39(72.2%) were females, 31(57.4%) participants were not involved in any relaxation and other practices like (yoga, meditation, exercise, gym). Intervention in term of psychological well being and self satisfaction (P .00) were found to be statistically significant when assessed on the postintervention day 1 and the same result followed till 15 days of postintervention. A low positive correlation was found (r=.33, P=.01) between psychological well being and self satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students in experimental group (r=.33, P=.01) while in control group it was moderate correlation (r=.48, P=.00) at .05 level of significance. The majority 46(85.2%) of the participants were satisfied after performing intervention. CONCLUSIONS Virtual Psychosocial Programme is an effective modality to enhance the psychological well being and self satisfaction among undergraduate students. The findings of the study can be applied while designing future studies or mental health resources in university programs. CLINICALTRIAL .
