There were eight sessions in which involved several different techniques of MCBGT, with each session focusing on one technique. The techniques used were controlled breathing, progressive relaxation, psychoeducation, self-monitoring, action planning, cognitive approach, effective communication, and problem-solving. There were seven elderly people, six females and one male, that participated in this research. Data collection was through both quantitative and qualitative methods.

The quantitative method used four measurements such as Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ), Subjective Units of Distress (SUD), and UCLA loneliness scale. On the other hand, qualitative method used observation and interview to collect additional information from participants.
