Stress Management Training, Gender, Level of Stress, and Coping in Police OfficersSalain, Samantha Leigh Fields 01 January 2017 (has links)
Stress has lasting and sometimes fatal effects on the law enforcement community, which can compromise the well-being of police officers. To date, there is little research on factors that influence the level of stress in police officers. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to investigate the relationship of gender, used coping mechanisms, and levels of organizational and operational stress among police officers who have and have not received stress management training. Bandura's social learning theory and Lazarus and Folkman's theory of cognitive appraisal provided the theoretical foundation. Cross-sectional survey data from a convenience sample of 134 male and female police officers were collected using the Brief Cope, the Operational and Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire, and a demographic survey. An independent samples t test and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to test the hypotheses. According to study findings, officers who received stress management training demonstrated a higher use of adaptive coping mechanisms compared to those who did not receive training. In addition, gender and use of maladaptive coping predicted level of stress among officers. Evidently, receiving stress management training was useful for these participating police officers, and these findings suggest that the training may have positive demonstrable effects for other police officers. This study promotes positive social change by increasing knowledge and awareness of the value that stress management has in reducing level of stress and use of maladaptive coping in police officers, thus empowering the psychological needs of officers while endorsing public safety at the individual and societal level.

Coping with Job Loss and Career Stress: Effectiveness of Stress Management Training with Outplaced EmployeesMaysent, Anne Miya 08 1900 (has links)
A stress management intervention was developed and integrated into the services provided by one of the nation's largest outplacement consultants. The purpose of the intervention was to aid outplacement clients in the management and resolution of stress associated with job loss and career transition. Based on the results of this study, the intervention had the effect of helping treatment participants maintain their levels of effective coping when compared to nonparticipants. This study supports the hypothesis that stress management training can be helpful for unemployed individuals and may impact their emotional well-being as they go through the job search process.

A Study of the Outcomes of Stress Management Training in Ministerial Programs of Higher EducationShirley, Philip E. (Philip Elwood) 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation studies the outcomes that higher education courses and seminars in stress management have on the stress levels of pastors. It identifies stress level differences between a sample of pastors who have and who have not been trained in stress management. The instrument that was used to assess the levels of stress was the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The Inventory is a twenty-two item dual-rating instrument that measures the frequency and intensity of three aspects of the burnout syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of personal accomplishment. Demographic questions were used to determine the respondents' sex, age, education, and experience in the clergy. These questions were asked for descriptive purposes only. In addition, questions were asked that would determine whether or not the pastors had had stress management training.

Previous issue date: 2004-12-10 / A sample of 28 female elementary school teachers was investigated regarding interaction of stress, burnout and meaning of life and effectiveness of two types of training to reduce excessive stress. As measurements were used the Invent?rio de Sintomas de Stress de Lipp (ISSL), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Lukas Logo-Test. 64.3% of the teachers were diagnosed with stress, mainly in the resistance phase, 35.7 had burnout and 10.7, tendency towards burnout. There were more teachers with stress among those with less perception of meaning. There was significant correlation between stress level and married or divorced teachers. The sample was divided into two groups and submitted to two different types of stress management courses: one with cognitive-behavioral approach only and the other including techniques to search meaning based on Frankl s logotherapy. After the training course the group with cognitive-behavioral approach had significantly better results than the group with inclusion of logotherapeutic approach regarding stress and burnout reduction and better meaning fulfillment. This difference in results may be due to different characteristics of the participants: the group with cognitive-behavioral approach only was significantly older and had longer work experience than the logotherapeutic oriented group; in addition, before training procedures, the group with exclusively cognitive-behavioral approach revealed a higher degree of stress than the logotherapeutic oriented group. / Foi estudada uma amostra de 28 professoras do ensino fundamental quanto ? intera??o entre stress, burnout e sentido e quanto ? efic?cia de dois tipos de treinamento para redu??o do stress excessivo. Utilizou-se como instrumentos de aferi??o o Invent?rio de Sintomas de Stress de Lipp (ISSL), o Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) e o Logo-Test de Lukas. 64,3% das professoras apresentaram stress, predominantemente na fase de resist?ncia, 35,7% revelaram burnout e 10,7%, tend?ncia ao burnout. Houve maior freq??ncia de professoras com stress entre aquelas com menor percep??o de sentido. Foi constatada correla??o significativa entre n?vel de stress e professoras casadas/separadas. A amostra dividida em dois grupos recebeu dois tipos diferentes de treinamento para gerenciamento de stress: um somente com abordagem cognitivo-comportamental, e outro com inclus?o de estrat?gias de busca de sentido da logoterapia de Frankl. Ap?s o treinamento, o grupo com abordagem exclusivamente cognitivo-comportamental apresentou resultado significativamente melhor do que o grupo com inclus?o da abordagem logoter?pica quanto ? redu??o de stress e burnout e melhor realiza??o de sentido. A diferen?a nos resultados pode ser atribu?da a caracter?sticas diferentes das participantes: o grupo que recebeu abordagem com sentido teve idade e tempo de servi?o significativamente superiores ao grupo sem abordagem de sentido; al?m disso, o grupo com abordagem somente cognitivo-comportamental apresentou grau de stress inicial mais elevado em rela??o ao grupo que foi submetido ? abordagem com sentido.
