The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 5-week stress management program for 40 junior baccalaureate nursing students. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. The stress management group included training sessions using cognitive modification techniques and Stroebel's Quieting Response (QR) augmented with biofeedback techniques for self-relaxation. A significant reduction of state anxiety (P < .001) was reported on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) by the experimental groups, while the state anxiety of the control groups remained relatively unchanged. There were no significant changes in trait anxiety scores. Urinary potassium excretion was measured as an index of the adrenal stress response. Findings revealed no statistically significant correlation between potassium excretion and scores on the STAI. These results support the benefits of integrating a stress management program into curricula for nursing students.
本研究旨在调查一项为期5周的压力管理计划对40名护理学本科低年级学生的影响。采用了准实验性前测-后测对照组设计。压力管理组包括使用认知修正技术和经生物反馈技术增强的斯特罗贝尔平静反应（QR）进行自我放松的培训课程。实验组在状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）上报告的状态焦虑显著降低（P < .001），而对照组的状态焦虑相对保持不变。特质焦虑得分没有显著变化。测量尿钾排泄作为肾上腺应激反应的指标。研究结果显示钾排泄与STAI得分之间没有统计学上的显著相关性。这些结果支持将压力管理计划纳入护理专业课程的益处。
