ABSTRACT
Background
The effects of stress depend on the perception of stressors and a person’s
skills for coping with stressful situations.
Objective
Evaluate an interactive intervention to develop resources and skills for
proper stress management among healthcare professionals.
Method
This intervention was tested using a chart designed to evaluate the
knowledge, skills and attitudes components of stress management,
consisting of 17 statements about Knowledge, 11 about Stress management;
20 about Attitudes for reacting to stress. A total of 165
professionals and interns from related careers participated. Statistical
analyses were conducted to compare the scores of the three components
before and after the intervention using the Student’s
t test.
McNemar’s test was used to compare the results.
Results
In regard to the effectiveness of the intervention, an analysis of the
comparison of scores found statistically significant differences in favor
of intervention in the three components: Knowledge (
t =-9.77, df=164,
p=.000), Skills (
t =-10.19, df=164, p=.000) and Attitudes (
t =-4.80,
df=164, p=.000). The item analysis showed statistically significant
increases in the number of correct answers after the intervention in the
three components.
Discussion and conclusion
The results of this interactive intervention were statistically significant
in Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes for stress management. In addition
to being a brief, innovative intervention, based on knowledge
translation (4 weeks) and available on the Internet, the evidence of its
effectiveness suggests it is a valid tool for proper stress management.
