“…Eight stressors on a 31-item scale is fewer than the number reported by the student reference group used in t h i s study. While this is counter-intuitive on a scale designed specifically to be relevant to people with a disability, high stress scores for students seem to be a feature of this population, as evidenced by the norms for the Daily Stress Inventory (Brantley &Jones, 1989) and the Perceived Stress Scale (Pbert et al, 1992). Both show students to have higher mean scores than the general population.…”

There has been little research on stress as perceived by people with an intellectual disability. This is somewhat surprising considering the changes in phi\osophy and service delivery models across the western world that have resulted in people with an intellectual disability being at the forefront of massive attitudinal shifts within society. In this study, administration of the Lifestress Inventory to 459 people with a mild or moderate intellectual disability revealed that people with a disability reported experiencing an average of 8.57 stressors from a list of 31 stressors. When the stress intensity ratings for the individual stressors were examined it was clear that most stressors bothered the participants ' a fair bit'. People with an intellectual disability reported a lot of stress from negative interpersonal relationships with peers and others.

The objective was to investigate possible psychosocial factors in chronic daily headache (HA) by comparing those with chronic daily HA to matched patients with chronic episodic HA and to matched non–HA controls. Although there is some research on psychosocial factors in chronic daily HA, it is conflicting and none to date has compared such patients to both an episodic HA control and a non–HA control. Nineteen patients with chronic daily HA (less than 2% of 4–times–per–day HA ratings were zero) were compared to 19 HA patients matched on age, gender and nominal IHS diagnoses, and to 16 similarly matched non–HA controls on measures of psychological distress (MMPI, BDI, STAI), measures of life stress (major past events, hassles, prospective daily stress) and quality of life (SF–36). Those with chronic daily HA were significantly more distressed and had significantly poorer function on most measures relative to non–HA controls. Although there were many arithmetic trends for chronic daily HA to be more distressed and to function less well than those with episodic HA, only on the depression and social introversion scales of the MMPI and the overall vitality rating of the SF–36 were the differences significant. All three groups had comparable levels of life stress regardless of how it was measured. Those with chronic daily HA have greater levels of psychological distress and poorer quality of life than those with episodic HA or non–HA controls, despite comparable levels of life stress.

“…However, when one examines the I/E ratio, as recommended by the authors of the scale [21], one finds a highly significant (Pb.001) difference with the IBS patients having a greater I/E ratio (by about one third) than the nonill controls.…”

“…The daily stress inventory (DSI) [21] is a 58-item scale that is designed for daily monitoring of 58 potentially stressful events on the following scale: 0=nonoccurrence, 1=occurred but was not stressful, 2=caused very little stress, 3=caused a little stress, 4=caused some stress, 5=caused much stress, 6=caused very much stress, and 7=caused me to panic. It has been shown to have adequate reliability [21].…”
