After reviewing this week’s readings and media on Stress and Stress Management, take some time to reflect upon the importance of stress management for yourself and your patients. Then, please respond to the following TWO discussion board questions.

Remember to include an APA formatted in-text citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within last 5 years), professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.). (Failure to include BOTH an in-text citation AND a corresponding reference will result in a significant point deduction. Please contact your coach if you have any questions about this BEFORE submitting your post to the discussion board this week.) You do not need an in-text citation/reference for both questions, but the FIRST question DOES require an in-text citation and reference.

What are some of the benefits of Stress Management? What are some of the obstacles to performing Stress Management strategies? (in-text citation and reference required)
What are some techniques that you have successfully utilized to manage your own stress?

Stress can have a negative impact upon one’s health. Students will incorporate knowledge of MI techniques to engage a specific population in an evidence-based activity that reduces stress levels. Through creating a stress management plan, the APRN gains experiential knowledge to utilize in their clinical practice.

 

For this assignment, students will explore a mindfulness technique of interest and apply it to a specific population. Develop a scholarly paper that addresses the following criteria:

1. Explore pathology of toxic stress levels and scales used to measure it

2. Complete the Stress Management scale located in the course module and provide a summary of findings

3. Identify an intervention useful for stress management: journal, exercise (be specific i.e. running, walking, swimming), meditation, music therapy, equine therapy etc.

4. Research the intervention selected and cite evidence of effectiveness providing cultural considerations that may impact success of the intervention

5. Outline motivational techniques used to develop an effective stress management plan

6. Develop two SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound) that will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the management plan
