“…Heightened levels of perceived stress are discussed as reasons for underachievement and dropout (Cotton et al 2002;Lowe and Cook 2003), long-standing illnesses (StewartBrown et al 2000) and depression (Pengilly and Dowd 2000). Furthermore, in the study of Pierceall and Keim (2007), students reported unhealthy coping strategies to deal with perceived stress such as drinking (39 %), smoking (36 %) and using illegal drugs (15 %).…”

Decreasing students’ stress through time management training: an intervention study

2014

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a time management training program on perceived control of time and perceived stress in the context of higher education. Twenty-three undergraduate students attended a time management training intervention and reported demands, perceived stress and perceived control of time directly before 2 and 4 weeks after training. We used a "non-equivalent dependent variable design" (Cook and Campbell, Quasi-experimentation: design and analysis for field settings, p. 118, 1979) with perceived stress and perceived control of time as dependent variables, which should be influenced by the training, and demands as control variable, which should not be changed. As expected, perceived stress decreased and perceived control of time increased after training, whereas demands did not change. Therefore, time management training might be beneficial for undergraduate students' well-being. Nevertheless, more intervention studies in this field are necessary, especially with lager samples, to contribute to more robust results and conclusions.

“…Ouellette and DiPlacido (2001) suggest that developing hardiness is one method of promoting workers' coping strategies, as hardy individuals are reported to have a more optimistic view of the environment. Hardiness for nurses is indicated as a protective factor incorporating commitment, control and challenge that enables an individual to manage problematic situations (Klag & Bradley, 2004;Pengilly & Dowd, 2000). This controlling type of hardiness in this context is portrayed as an attribute, with Abdollahi, Abu Talib, Yaacob and Ismail (2014) describing hardiness as a mediator.…”

“…But usually higher stress levels are related to diseases, lower levels of well-being and poor life quality. A positive correlation between stressors and symptoms of distress is well established (Pengilly eISSN: 2357-1330 & Dowd, 2000). Mindfulness is one tool that can buffer stress effects (keng et al, 2011;Loizzo, 2000).…”

Several studies suggested a positive relation between mindfulness and psychological health positive outcomes. But are still lacking studies that can relate facets of mindfulness with specific psychological health dimensions. The main objective of this study is to analyze the relation between the mindfulness facets (non-reactivity to inner experience, noticing sensations, perceptions, thoughts and feelings, acting with awareness, describing with words, non-judging of experience) and some specific psychological health dimensions such as emotion regulation (nonacceptance, goals, impulse, awareness, strategies and clarity), perceived stress and well-being. We will analyze these dimensions according to participant's mindfulness training and practice. We used validated self-reporting instruments: the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ, Baer et al., 2006), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS, Gratz & Roemer, 2004), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein, 1983) and the IWP Multi-affect Indicator (IWP, Warr, 1990). We evaluated 258 individuals who agreed to participate in this study, of which 72,1% were women, 47,7% had already attended mindfulness training, 52,3% never had and 40,3% practice mindfulness meditation regularly. We performed a Pearson's r correlation and T-Tests to compare means. Results point to clear correlations between mindfulness facets, emotion regulation, stress and well-being. Perceived stress revealed significantly lower levels in individuals who attended mindfulness training and practice daily meditation. Higher scores in mindfulness facets and related higher levels of awareness, clarity and well-being can also be found. The findings indicate that mindfulness training and regular mindfulness meditation practice have a potential to contribute to improving mental health outcomes.
