Slide2Holmes
and Rahe Stress Test for Teenagers
The Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale is well researched and its underlying theoretical basis has been widely confirmed and validated
The scale is based on averages.
We're all unique however, in the way stress affects us. Nobody is exactly average. The stress reaction to a particular life event varies greatly from one person to the next.
The stress test for teenagers provides only a guide to your personal stress level and health risk. Its real value lies in going through the process and becoming more aware of the causes of stress in your life.
Let’s take the test.
Then you will score it
and read
about coping with stress.
Slide3SCORE IT!
Your Stress Test Score: _____________
FIRST, take
the
weighting score and multiple it by the
number of times in the last twelve months.Add all of the scores together (1-39).
Slide4WHAT DO THE SCORES MEAN?
Remember: We're all unique however, in the way stress affects us.
Stress
increases your risk of becoming sick. The higher your score in the stress test for teenagers, the greater your chance of experiencing illness or disease.
When
your body is busy dealing with stress, it uses up resources you need for other body processes, especially your immune system. This makes you more vulnerable to becoming unwell, physically and mentally.The stress test for teenagers will help you see how much you are at risk of sickness.
Slide5THE SCORES
Research shows you should interpret your score on the stress test for teenagers as follows:
A score of 150 or less:
Your stress score is low. This is a good result. It means your life currently is pretty stable - there's not much major change going on, and you have a low level of 'life event stress.' This gives you a relatively low probability (about a 30% statistical chance) of developing a
stress-related illness
in the near future.A score of 150 to 299:Your stress score is moderate. There is enough change going on in your life to cause you a fair bit of stress if you are not good at handling it. On average, you have a pretty much even probability (about a 50% statistical chance) of developing a stress-related disorder in the near future, unless you're good at handling change, or do something now to improve your ability to cope with stress.
A score of 300 or more:
Your
stress score is high. This could place you at considerable risk of developing a stress-related disorder in the near future (about an 80% statistical chance).It
means
you probably will become ill, unless you are very good at handling stress, or do something now to improve your ability to cope with stress
.
