Stress Managment

For the past few weeks you have been reading and talking about the mechanics and manifestations of stress. Now it is time to practice putting a bit of what you have been learning into action. For this first Learning Activity (LA1) you will need your textbook, your workbook (found on the Navigate site), and 2 or 3 scholarly sources of  information (journals, professionally vetted internet material, or other scholarly publications).

What we are doing:
You are going to choose and use three (3) worksheets in your workbook to first, identify some of your personal stressors, and second, evaluate how well you think these worksheets work for you. Notice how this assignment ties into your PSMJ2? Consider how you might use this assignment to raise your personal awareness about the stressor you have picked to focus on for PSMJ2.

Why we are doing this activity:
As you may have read in your textbook, we are not always aware that we are stressed or how that stress is manifesting itself. Part of the purpose of this activity is for you to start learning more about yourself and what you can do to better care for you. The second purpose of the activity is for you to start practicing skills to critically assess resources for yourself.

Instructions:
You will be writing a short, formal paper (500 words or more) which will include the following:
1. Choose and complete three workbook exercises from chapters 1-8 in your workbook. Be sure to include all of the following information about the workbook exercises in your paper: the title, page number, purpose, and the (abbreviated) results for each exercise. Remember — the workbook is a source and so is your textbook! You will need to cite and reference in APA these appropriately.
Respond to the following prompts for each workbook exercise:

a) why did you choose to complete this exercise?

b) what you hoped to find out by completing this exercise?

c) Did the results provide you with information/insight/understanding you expected?

Describe what your feelings were as you worked through each of the exercises. Discuss your reactions to the results.

Combine your experience/reactions to the exercises and respond to the following prompts:

What were the benefits your gained from the exercises? If there were’t benefits — than talk about this.

will you or will not put the results into action? and why/why not?

How will you apply the results of these exercises to your personal stress management?

For the conclusion, I want you to look for 2-3 scholarly references which relate to the stressors you want to mange (for example — if you are looking at time-management — find articles related to this topic) and talk about how you can merge what you learned from the completing the worksheets with what you learn from the articles. Consider how intra-personal work — learning about self through these worksheets — can be supported by reading formal work and research done by others. How does putting these to sources of information together further your personal work to manage your stress more healthfully?

4. Now, with your particular community still in mind, can you identify any stressors related to technology, disconnection, and spirituality in your community? Describe how the information presented in the article and interview can AND cannot be applied to your community, and why. 
1.    How might you apply what you have learned about stress in this module to serve as a health resource for people in your community?
2.    If you could choose a worksheet from the workbook which would help raise awareness about the stress you’ve identified in your community, what worksheet would that be and why? (title, page, purpose) Why this one? Why or how would it help?
3.    Finally, is there a worksheet that would be offensive if it were presented to a person in your community. Why?

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Purpose: To show your ability to answer a client-specific report brief by researching
appropriate information from the library, organising content into a report
structure, writing coherent sentences and paragraphs using clear
vocabulary and grammar, and formatting your writing to tertiary-level
academic standards.
Assignment
question:
Choose one of the topics below for your report assignment. Include a
minimum of five (5) academic sources to support your statements. Format
your report using APA style publication standards.
Report briefs Topic 1: E-waste
With the demand for electronic products and the throw-away nature of
consumer behaviour, electronic waste or e-waste is increasing at an
alarming rate. What classifies as e-waste? What types of e-waste
contribute most to the problem? Does it cause pollution? Is this a serious
problem for New Zealand? What solutions can be provided? An
independent, environmental working group, EnviroNZ, has requested a
report to better understand the growing problem of electronic waste (or
ewaste) disposal. Tristan Johnston, Director of EnviroNZ, is interested in
understanding the severity of this problem and what actions should be in
place that could help individual homeowners, businesses, and public
institutions in New Zealand. The research group will send your findings in a
larger document to New Zealands Minister for the Environment; therefore,
your report should include feasible recommendations which will hopefully
begin to address this complex social and environmental issue.
Topic 2: Flu vaccinations
A debate exists regarding the need for yearly flu vaccinations to be made
mandatory for the general public. As migration, tourism and global trade
has significantly increased over the past few decades, there is a concern
amongst health professionals, politicians and policy advisers that a flu can
easily spread through community transmission. One view is that flu
vaccinations should be made compulsory; however, an opposing view
suggests that flu vaccinations are recommended but remain optional for all
citizens. A government subsidised organisation, HealthCare NZ, would like
you to investigate the reasons supporting each side of the controversy. In
your report, explain how the flu is transmitted and what health information
exists for New Zealanders. Include recommendations on whether flu
vaccinations should be made compulsory and how to educate the general
public.
Word limit: Between 1700-2000 words (include a word count at the end)
