Non-equivalent control group pretest –post test design was carried out among 80 caregivers. The samples were selected by using Non probability purposive sampling technique and Semi Structured Rating Scales was used to collect the data. The statistical analysis revealed that, the calculated ‘t’ test value for stress (‘t’=22.96) and coping (‘t’=26.60) had a significant difference between the pre and post test levels of stress and coping among the care givers of alcohol dependents at 0.05 level of significance. The correlation between the post test scores of stress and coping ‘r’ value (r= -0.7) for both groups. It revealed that there was a negative and significant correlation between the stress and coping among the caregivers of alcohol dependents in both experimental and control groups.
