Development of a Stress Management Programme — Learn Young, Learn Fair — for Fifth and Sixth Formers in The Netherlands Using Intervention Mapping

This article examines the effect of carer stress management using the Carers' Checklist (Hodgson et al 1998) as a measure of outcome. Pre-course and post-course questionnaires were used with carers, identified by health and social services professionals, who agreed to attend a structured stress management course. Seven out of the 10 identified carers, who resided in the West Dorset area, participated. Only one carer's wife was a resident in a nursing home; the others were caring actively at home. The main measures of outcome were the burden of care, including social, financial and physical demands in terms of the carers' own experience, and their level of understanding of stress management techniques. The carers who attended demonstrated a better awareness and understanding of stress and its management following the course. Positive measures of outcome were also determined by a decrease in the carers' rating in frequency of dementia-related problems, carer burden of dementia-related problems and overall carer burden. The findings confirm that structured stress management can reduce carer burden and offer better coping strategies through raising carers' awareness and understanding.

AbstractThis study examines the advantages and internal consistency of an open-ended queionnaire (Benefit problem questionnaire), over the Tinnitus questionnaire used by Jakes et al. (1985) in the auditing of a Stress management Programme.This Tinnitus quesitionnaire showed very little difference pre- and post-treatment, while the Benefit/problem questionnarie showed good improvement over a number of variables. This included some of the more traditional orthogonal values of tinnitus complaint. The clinical assessment made blindly and over different tikme scale to the Benefit/problem questionnaire matched these positive results quite closely.
