    Summary: Single Subject Design Stress Study

    The model that was used for this analysis is known as the AB design, which measures the dependent variable during the baseline (A) and the intervention phase (B) (Krysik and Finn, 2013). The study was conducted over an 11week period, with the first 6 weeks being the baseline (A) for the study, which was based on the level of stress that occurred each week. Due to the limitation of miscommunication the intervention phase (B) could only be conducted for a 5-week period; falling short by one week of measurement of the intervention phase. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), is an instrument used to measure stress levels, the validity of this study allowed for evaluation and recording of weekly levels of stress. The intervention that was used daily to promote lower stress levels was relaxation time with deep breathing. This type of study had no reliability outcomes due to the changing in stress levels daily.…

    Transtheoretical Model

    We will be conducting a survey by having students at Cal State Fullerton from the classes Dr. Espinoza conducts as well as colleagues from other classes answer a survey questionnaire. Being that one out of five college students have reported feeling stressed (CDC, 2012) we will make a detailed survey that will help us determine the underlying factors and main stressors that increase the average college students stress level. Our survey will take approximately five to ten minutes to complete and will be anonymous. However, we will ask students to write their class status on the survey which will help us to determine if stress levels overall increase, decrease or remain the same the longer the participants have been enrolled in…

    Developing Your Stress/Health Profile

    Stress is something unavoidable in our lives. After taking the scales and scoring what I cannot say, I was surprised with my results. There were eight scales that we had to take and then score. With this process, we then create our own stress profile. The first scale was “Stressed Out” on this I scored 23. I compared my score to the examples given in age, gender, and marital status. I scored above average and I would consider myself stressed more so than others. On the second scale, “Susceptibility to Stress” I scored 24. This scale…

    Burnout in Mental Health Counselors

    According to the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics, mental health counselors have a responsibility to do no harm, benefit others, and pursue excellence in their profession (2005). Because of the nature of their work, mental health professionals are vulnerable to vicarious trauma, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, and depression. To adhere to their ethical principles, mental health counselors need to practice self-care to decrease the potential for impairment or burnout (Richards, Campenni, & Muse-Burke, 2010). There is evidence to support a direct correlation between the practice of mindfulness and personal well-being, but there is no research on the link between practicing mindfulness and decreased rates of burnout.…
