Chosen Stressor: Grief this is a build on to the previous PSMJ2 attached below.

You are going to create a thoughtful plan for addressing 1 primary stressor in your life. Below is the process/outline broken down into more defined steps. Address each prompt below to create a personal stress management plan to address the personal stressor you have chosen to focus on:

Identify one stressor in your life which you would like to manage better
In your textbook on page 543-546, read & review the “Creating Your Own Stress- Management Program”.
Pick one chapter in your textbook from Part 3-coping strategies (Chapters 9-17) to use as a reference and resource for creating a plan to managing your identified stressor. Describe how you plan to apply the material to your plan for stress management.
Pick 2 worksheets from part 3-coping strategies in your workbook that you have not already done. Complete them and discuss how they assisted you in managing or understanding your stressor.
Combine what you have learned from the textbook, worksheets, and class learning materials in general with your own ideas and form a real tangible plan to manage your stressor. Remember to follow the S.M.A.R.T. principles when making any goal.
Give a summary of the plan you created including…
Identify and describe specific things you will do to reduce the amount of stress you experience. Be specific as you can (S.M.A.R.T. goals).
Pinpoint and describe how you will implement at least one coping skill you will practice.
Identify at least one behavior you plan to change and how you plan to change it. (Remember Chapter 10 on Behavior Modification).
Describe the change you expect. Describe your expectations for results.
Discuss your rationale for the plan.

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.
This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.
Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:
Values/Health Perception
Nutrition
Sleep/Rest
Elimination
Activity/Exercise
Cognitive
Sensory-Perception
Self-Perception
Role Relationship
Sexuality
Coping
Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.
Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.
Include the following in your paper:
Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.
Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
