This unique and comprehensive handbook examines the various models of stress, coping, and health and their relevance for nursing and related health fields. Building on the first edition that has been highly-praised for its analysis and critique of existing models and its discussion of new research surrounding self-regulation and stress, this Second Edition continues to provide a critical analysis of the field while providing up to date cutting-edge research. Under the expert editorship of Dr. Virginia Hill Rice, experienced scholars and practitioners present a broad range of issues and research that relate to stress and health, such as response-oriented stress; stimulus-oriented stress; and transactional stress, coping, and health in children, adolescents, attitudes, and much, much more.

The Recovery-Stress Questionnaires (RESTQs) identifies the current recovery-stress states and provides a complete picture of the actual extent of stress and recovery. Written to support those using the RESTQ, this manual offers advice on scope and application, facets of stress and recovery, versions and scoring, interpretation of results, and reliability and validity for each of the five forms of the questionnaire. The questionnaire is based on the hypothesis that an accumulation of stress in different areas of life, with insufficient opportunity for recovery, leads to a critical psychophysiological state. The RESTQ measures the frequency of current stress symptoms along with the frequency of recovery-associated activities to offer a differentiated picture of the current recovery-stress state. There are five forms of the RESTQ: a general version (RESTQ-Basic) with seven stress scales and five recovery scales is the foundation for the specific versions for athletes (RESTQ-Sport), for coaches (RESTQ-Coach), for children and adolescents (RESTQ-CA), and for the work context (RESTQ-Work). All versions take a modular structure and contain scales measuring specific aspects of stress and recovery in their field. These scales provide valuable information immediately on areas where improvement is needed in stress and recovery research across a range of applied settings. Drawing on experiences and scientific findings from sport to make them usable for an expanded understanding of recovery in the fields of health, work, and other related areas, this manual is written for the scientific community, applied psychologists and health scientists, and interested readers.

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

Provides athletic specialists, trainers, and coaches with resources for monitoring athletes to avoid over-training, burnout, and decreased performance. The questionnaire is based on the hypothesis that an accumulation of stress in different areas of life, with insufficient opportunity for recovery, leads to a compromised psychophysical state. Stress states are based on 12 nonspecific and seven sports-specific scales. The questionnaire package offers tools to measure and track an athlete's recovery, including two complete questionnaires (72- and 56-item forms), manual scoring keys, profile sheets, and a user manual that describes questionnaire development and data and profile interpretation.c.
