| stress assessment questionnaire: STOP, THAT and One Hundred Other Sleep Scales Azmeh Shahid, Kate Wilkinson, Shai Marcu, Colin M Shapiro, 2012-01-06 There are at least four reasons why a sleep clinician should be familiar with rating scales that evaluate different facets of sleep. First, the use of scales facilitates a quick and accurate assessment of a complex clinical problem. In three or four minutes (the time to review ten standard scales), a clinician can come to a broad understanding of the patient in question. For example, a selection of scales might indicate that an individual is sleepy but not fatigued; lacking alertness with no insomnia; presenting with no symptoms of narcolepsy or restless legs but showing clear features of apnea; exhibiting depression and a history of significant alcohol problems. This information can be used to direct the consultation to those issues perceived as most relevant, and can even provide a springboard for explaining the benefits of certain treatment approaches or the potential corollaries of allowing the status quo to continue. Second, rating scales can provide a clinician with an enhanced vocabulary or language, improving his or her understanding of each patient. In the case of the sleep specialist, a scale can help him to distinguish fatigue from sleepiness in a patient, or elucidate the differences between sleepiness and alertness (which is not merely the inverse of the former). Sleep scales are developed by researchers and clinicians who have spent years in their field, carefully honing their preferred methods for assessing certain brain states or characteristic features of a condition. Thus, scales provide clinicians with a repertoire of questions, allowing them to draw upon the extensive experience of their colleagues when attempting to tease apart nuanced problems. Third, some scales are helpful for tracking a patient’s progress. A particular patient may not remember how alert he felt on a series of different stimulant medications. Scale assessments administered periodically over the course of treatment provide an objective record of the intervention, allowing the clinician to examine and possibly reassess her approach to the patient. Finally, for individuals conducting a double-blind crossover trial or a straightforward clinical practice audit, those who are interested in research will find that their own clinics become a source of great discovery. Scales provide standardized measures that allow colleagues across cities and countries to coordinate their practices. They enable the replication of previous studies and facilitate the organization and dissemination of new research in a way that is accessible and rapid. As the emphasis placed on evidence-based care grows, a clinician’s ability to assess his or her own practice and its relation to the wider medical community becomes invaluable. Scales make this kind of standardization possible, just as they enable the research efforts that help to formulate those standards. The majority of Rating Scales in Sleep and Sleep Disorders:100 Scales for Clinical Practice is devoted to briefly discussing individual scales. When possible, an example of the scale is provided so that readers may gain a sense of the instrument’s content. Groundbreaking and the first of its kind to conceptualize and organize the essential scales used in sleep medicine, Rating Scales in Sleep and Sleep Disorders:100 Scales for Clinical Practice is an invaluable resource for all clinicians and researchers interested in sleep disorders. |

| stress assessment questionnaire: Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences, Board on Health Sciences Policy, Committee on the Health and Medical Dimensions of Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults, 2020-05-14 Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish. |
| stress assessment questionnaire: Stress Management Questionnaire James C. Petersen, 2013-04 STRESS MANAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE (SMQ): A Guide to Stress Mastery and Stress Resilience Profile The Stress Management Questionnaire (SMQ) consists of first a valid and reliable stress risk assessment (87 psychometrically developed questions rating on a 5 pt Likert Scale) along with a 36 page Stressmastery Interpretive Guide. The SMQ & Guide are used in companies and organizations to help employees learn about their stress risk level and discover through the Guide how to master stress on the job and to become more stress resilient. How it works. After answering 87 scientifically developed questions, a personal Stress Risk Profile is produced; i.e., from Low to High Risk on the 11 SMQ stress scales. To obtain one's risk levels on the scales, each person's score is compared to the norm group that was used to establish the SMQ. Some of the SMQ scales are: Anger, Burnout, Tension, Perfectionism, Time Urgency and 6 more. The Stressmastery Guide is an important part of the SMQ. It describes and defines the purpose of each SMQ scale, what a Risk score means and, then, offers a roadmap or plan for personal change. The Guide is a comprehensive source of techniques and strategies that have been proven successful in preventing, reducing and managing stress...wherever or wherever it may occur. Target Audience The SMQ is ideal for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety and burnout, especially in the world of work. It can be by individuals as a self-development tool or, as is most common, it can be used in virtually any stress management program or counseling session. In addition, the online SMQ can be used a corporate needs assessment or to determine the overall level of employee stress for a department, group or for the entire organization. A Facilitators Guide is available to help integrate the SMQ into a stress management program. Versions Two version of the SMQ are available; a Print and an Internet Online Version. The Print Version, which is 48 pages, can be ordered here through Create Space. The Online Version can be ordered from www.stressmaster.com Translations The SMQ is available in French, Spanish, Norwegian & Slovenian. A German translation is in the works. History The SMQ is fully researched (NIOSH, 1080) and normed assessment tool that is easy to use and quick to score and receive results. It is based upon the work of Drs. James Petersen, Hans Selye, Herbet Benson, Meyer Freidmann and Ray Rosenmann and is consistent with modern Stress Management Theory and Practice. Dr. James Petersen, a noted psychologist, author and expert on stress and stress mastery, created the SMQ in his Biofeedback and Stress Management Clinic in order to help chronically stressed individuals to gain a better understanding of their stressors, personal stress warning signs and to determine if stress is affecting one's health, productivity and life satisfaction. The SMQ is founded on decades of scientific research (NIOSH, 1980) and evidence-based stress reduction methods and techniques. Over the past 30 years, the SMQ has helped more than 600,000 individuals to effectively manage their stress. As a result, the SMQ has become an integral part of many corporate stress management programs and wellness/health centers around the world. Now, the SMQ is available to the public for personal self-development and stress relief...right at home |

| stress assessment questionnaire: The Restless Compendium Felicity Callard, Kimberley Staines, James Wilkes, 2016-09-27 This book is open access under a CC BY license. This interdisciplinary book contains 22 essays and interventions on rest and restlessness, silence and noise, relaxation and work. It draws together approaches from artists, literary scholars, psychologists, activists, historians, geographers and sociologists who challenge assumptions about how rest operates across mind, bodies, and practices. Rest’s presence or absence affects everyone. Nevertheless, defining rest is problematic: both its meaning and what it feels like are affected by many socio-political, economic and cultural factors. The authors open up unexplored corners and experimental pathways into this complex topic, with contributions ranging from investigations of daydreaming and mindwandering, through histories of therapeutic relaxation and laziness, and creative-critical pieces on lullabies and the Sabbath, to experimental methods to measure aircraft noise and track somatic vigilance in urban space. The essays are grouped by scale of enquiry, into mind, body and practice, allowing readers to draw new connections across apparently distinct phenomena. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines in the social sciences, life sciences, arts and humanities. |
| stress assessment questionnaire: The Psychology of Pandemics Steven Taylor, 2019-12 Pandemics are large-scale epidemics that spread throughout the world. Virologists predict that the next pandemic could occur in the coming years, probably from some form of influenza, with potentially devastating consequences. Vaccinations, if available, and behavioral methods are vital for stemming the spread of infection. However, remarkably little attention has been devoted to the psychological factors that influence the spread of pandemic infection and the associated emotional distress and social disruption. Psychological factors are important for many reasons. They play a role in nonadherence to vaccination and hygiene programs, and play an important role in how people cope with the threat of infection and associated losses. Psychological factors are important for understanding and managing societal problems associated with pandemics, such as the spreading of excessive fear, stigmatization, and xenophobia that occur when people are threatened with infection. This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the psychology of pandemics. It describes the psychological reactions to pandemics, including maladaptive behaviors, emotions, and defensive reactions, and reviews the psychological vulnerability factors that contribute to the spreading of disease and distress. It also considers empirically supported methods for addressing these problems, and outlines the implications for public health planning. |
| stress assessment questionnaire: Stress and Anxiety. Theory, practice and measurement Kathleen A. Moore, Petra Buchwald, 2020-09-20 The selection of peer-reviewed chapters in this edition of Stress and Anxiety addresses three major areas of topical interest: Theory, practice and measurement. Authors ask ``What is the meaning of stress'' and offer a reconceptualization of the topic. They take us on a journey across decades of strategies we use to cope with stress. Recommendations for practice based on theory form a significant part of this edition. A focus on children and practice implications at home and in the school are presented. All papers presented in this volume are not only relevant to theory and understanding factors which influence behaviour but, most importantly, there are significant implications for practice and measurement. |
| stress assessment questionnaire: Character Strengths and Virtues Christopher Peterson, Martin E. P. Seligman, 2004-04-08 Character has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who might be the most effective teacher? What roles are played by family, schools, the media, religion, and the larger culture? This groundbreaking handbook of character strengths and virtues is the first progress report from a prestigious group of researchers who have undertaken the systematic classification and measurement of widely valued positive traits. They approach good character in terms of separate strengths-authenticity, persistence, kindness, gratitude, hope, humor, and so on-each of which exists in degrees. Character Strengths and Virtues classifies twenty-four specific strengths under six broad virtues that consistently emerge across history and culture: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. Each strength is thoroughly examined in its own chapter, with special attention to its meaning, explanation, measurement, causes, correlates, consequences, and development across the life span, as well as to strategies for its deliberate cultivation. This book demands the attention of anyone interested in psychology and what it can teach about the good life. |

| stress assessment questionnaire: Stress Mastery Questionnnaire James C. Petersen Ph D, 2016-10 THE STRESS MASTERY QUESTIONNAIRE (SMQ) The Stress Mastery Questionnaire (SMQ) was created by Dr. James Petersen, an internationally recognized pschologists and stress mastery expert, through careful research using standard psychometric techniques. The SMQ was created in Dr. Peteren's Biofeedback and Stress Management Clinic to help his clients gain a better understanding of how stress was affecting them at a physcial and emotional level. In 1980, Dr. Petersen and his team conducted a validation study of the SMQ funded by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. The result of this research is the Stress Mastery Questionnaire which is one of the few valid and reliable stress self-assessment and educational tools available. The name of the original assessment was the Stress Management Questionnaire (SMQ) but was recently changed to the Stress Mastery Questionnaire. This reflects the philosophy that stress can be mastered with a solid stress assessment couples with expert counseling, coaching or training The SMQ is essentially a personal stress assessment tool that provides each person who takes it with precise information about thier stress and how stress may be affecting them at this time. A total of 11 stress scales provides key formation in three main domains: STRESS WARNING SIGN, STRESS EFFECTS and STRESSORS. The SMQ can be used as a personal self-improvement program or as part of a broader stress management training or coaching program. The SMQ has been in use since 1980 with over 600,000 individuals and hundreds of companies benefiting from its use by trainers, stress coaches, EAP programs, management consultants and mental health professionals worldwide, including Citicorp/Banamex (Mexico), JPMorgan, Nationwide Insurance, Speedway, LLc, KPMG, Federal Reserve Bank of SF, State of Arizona and many more. HOW IS THE SMQ COMPLETED? The SMQis easy to take, with result generated immediately after completing it. Each person is provided with an Link and unique Access Code that allows them to answer 87 questions about stress. After completing the SMQ, each person receives a Stress Profile showing his or her scores on each of the 11 stress risk scales. THE STRESS MASTERY PROGRAM The SMQ is part of a larger and more inclusive Stress Mastery Program that inlcudes: ASSESSMENT - Since stress is the result of how we think and respond to the stressors and daily hassles of life, the SMQ shines a light on those behaviors and attitudes that impact the stress response. Essentially, the SMQ assesses each person's risk on 11 unique stress areas (e.g., Anger, Perfectionism, Burnout, etc.) and presents the results in a brief STRESS PROFILE that is easy to understand. Based upon a comparison with our norm-group, the Profile shows one's stress risk level, from Low to High, on the 11 SMQ scales. AWARENESS - The results of the SMQ are provided to each person in a DETAILED STRESS REPORT that reveals specific behaviors and attitudes that can contribute to one's stress. This Report goes deeper than the Profile and shows the actual responses to the 87 SMQ questions; in essence, it reveals the specifics of what to change in the process of learning how to master stress and become more stress resilient. ACTION - Without Action, nothing happens. The STRESSMASTERY GUIDE provides evidence-based and effective ways to master stress and build stress resilience! Each person who takes the SMQ receives a copy of the Stressmastery Guide (43pp) for personal use or in a Stressmastery Workshop or Coaching program. The Guide describes the meaning of each scale & offers key information on What to Know and What to Do when one scores high on any scale. More info at www.Stressmaster.com |
