Study Summary
Certain populations may be particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of chronic stress, particularly chronic work-related stress. One such population is that of clergy doing ministry work. Clergy who are interested in stress reduction will choose one of three interventions: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, the Daily Examen, or a set of stress inoculation and breathing exercises called Stress Proofing. The study investigators will examine changes in heart rate variability and self-reported stress symptoms over time among clergy who have participated in one of the three interventions, compared to clergy who have not yet received one of the interventions. The aim of this study is to determine trends in stress outcomes for each of the three interventions. The investigators hypothesize that participation in each intervention will be associated with an improvement in stress outcomes compared to those who have not yet received an intervention.
Primary Outcome
We are using a modified version of the Calgary Symptoms of Stress Inventory and will use continuous mean scores of the overall measure (i.e., all subscales combined). The minimum will be 0 and the maximum 4, with higher scores indicating higher symptoms.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
- BEHAVIORAL Daily Examen spiritual practice
- BEHAVIORAL Stress inoculation combination
