WEek 6 - Assessment

This week in Stress management, we're going to complete the study of assessment methods for Stress management. Next week we will consider the application of assessment findings in the development of a healthcare programme for stress management.

Tasks for the week

Complete the learning modules

• Neuromuscular effects of stress
• Approaches to stress assessment
• The stress management process - The process that we considered earlier is extended to incorporate what we have covered so far in the course. You will notice that the treatment phase is blank - we'll extend this next week.
  

Assessment

We are a little behind the schedule laid out at the start of the course. According to this schedule you should have started work with the first client for your case study. Realistically you can't really do this until we've covered the material for next week. No need to worry, there's still plenty of time for you to complete the assessment, but you should start canvassing the people you think would be suitable candidates so that you're ready to start the assessment next week or the week after next.

The stress management process module (above) contains a link to the stress monitor that we finalised in the mid-block tutorial. You are free to use this stress monitor if you like, or to use one which suits your preferences more.
