For an intervention aimed at helping refugee parents lower their stress and strengthen their stress management skills), my colleagues and I need a measure that assesses capacity to effectively manage stress. I haven't had much luck while combing the lit but perhaps I'm missing some good tools. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Kenneth,
I don't know if this would help?:

Very best wishes,

Here are terms on the topic "stress measurement". Oficially about file topic_report.docx:
file topic_report.docx = 20 topics from 253 articles which have words
ti=(Stress* AND (measur* or assess*)) AND ts=(coping) in their titles or abstracts or keywords. Each topic is represented through 20 words and 20 thrases with which it is discussed in these articles. Really this terms are the names of methods, objects, properties, laws and so on for topic in question. In addition each topic has quotes from two articles in which it is most manifested.
As a rule we can elaborate 3 files: articles with basic knowledge on the topic, articles with potential novelty and file topic_report.docx:.
Methods are enough scientific, the knowledge sources are Web of Science and Scopus. We call this research topic analysis or map. All we need to prepare query, which results are at least 500 articles.
I will be glad to make analysis more close to doctot Kenneth E Miller question but I am not psychologist and it is difficult for me to produce good query.
You are welcomed to ask such three files to be prepared on this or any other topic, just help to prepare query for Web of Science or Scopus.
Doctor Mary C R Wilson - very good information, thank you.
Thanks, Mary, for sharing these helpful resources. At this point, we may end up developing our own tool that more closely gets at the changes we are aiming to achieve; if so, I'll gladly share that online once it's developed. Valery, to just to clarify, our interest is in measuring changes in the capacity for stress management, not in measuring stress itself.
Now we tried to take the topic more closer to your question.
We used
- Words for meaning “manage stress”:
(resilient OR coping OR manage) AND stress
- Words for meaning “measure”:
measure OR scale OR assess OR evaluate
The terms for such topic is in file topic_report.docx.
Oficially:
file topic_report.docx = 20 topics from 417 articles which have words
ti=(measur* OR scale* OR assess* OR evaluat*) AND ti=( (resilien* OR coping OR manage*) AND stress*)
in their titles . Each topic is represented through 20 words and 20 thrases with which it is discussed in these articles. Really this terms are the names of methods, objects, properties, laws and so on for topic in question. In addition each topic has quotes from two articles in which it is most manifested.
A quick follow up: in the end, we decided to create our own measure, tailored to the specific stress management skills we're targeting in our intervention. Thanks for the various suggestions.
