“…Exercise training will attenuate stress' effects on biological and psychological measures. This hypothesis is based on research demonstrating that exercise is an effective stress management technique in humans (Blumenthal et al, 2005;Bruning & Frew, 1987;Byrne & Byrne, 1993;Gauvin & Spence, 1995;Kerr & Kuk, 2001;McCain et al, 2008;Milani & Lavie, 2009;Salmon, 2001;Sandlund & Norlander, 2000).…”

“…Exercise is one stress management technique with great potential to enhance stress resilience (Blumenthal et al, 2005;Bruning & Frew, 1987;Byrne & Byrne, 1993;Gauvin & Spence, 1995;Kerr & Kuk, 2001;McCain, Gray, Elswick, Robins, Tuck, Walter, et al, 2008;Milani & Lavie, 2009;Salmon, 2001 …”

“…Physical health benefits include: reduced risk of chronic disease (i.e., coronary heart disease, stroke diabetes mellitus, and colon cancer), decreased total blood cholesterol and triglycerides, increased high-density lipoproteins, decreased hypertension, and enhanced bone, muscle, and joint health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008a). Mental health benefits include: improved mood, increased positive and reduced negative affect; reduced anxiety and depression; increased self-esteem; improved memory, concentration, attention, and information processing; and decreased hallucinations (Blumenthal et al, 2005;Bruning & Frew, 1987;Byrne & Byrne, 1993;Gauvin & Spence, 1995;Hays, 1999;Kerr & Kuk, 2001;McCain et al, 2008;Milani & Lavie, 2009;Salmon, 2001;Sandlund & Norlander, 2000). Exercise's beneficial effects on some of these variables may result from exercise's ability to decrease stress.…”

The purpose of this doctoral dissertation research project was to determine if exercise training or social enrichment could enhance stress resilience in rats. The specific aims of this experiment were to evaluate: (1) how combined sleep disturbance and predator stress affect biological and psychological components of the stress response; (2) if exercise training attenuates the biological and psychological components of the stress response and promotes recovery following exposure to sleep disturbance and predator stress; (3) if social support attenuates the biological and psychological components of the stress response and promotes recovery following exposure to sleep disturbance and predator stress; and (4) sex differences in the effects of sleep disturbance and predator stress on biological and psychological components of the stress response.The independent variables were: (1) exercise training (yes, no), (2) social enrichment (pair, individual housing), (3) sex (female, male), and (4) stress period (pre-stress, stress, post-stress). A combined sleep disturbance and predator stressor was administered over a 2 week period. The sleep disturbance stressor was administered daily during the animals' sleep period. The predator stress was administered intermittently during the animals' active period. This iv stressor was designed to be analogous to conditions that military personnel experience during combat deployments. Biological and psychological variables were measured before, during, and after the stress period. The biological dependent variables were corticosterone (fecal and serum) and body weight.

“…Within the model, these elements predicted improved overall quality of life and health status. The program utilized a group behavioral intervention format, a delivery method that has previously been found to reduce distress [32][33][34], improve health [35], and decrease risk behavior [36][37][38]. The group intervention consisted of a total of 16 weekly, 2-h sessions, with the initial ten sessions focused on CBSM+ followed by six sessions on healthy lifestyles, targeting medication adherence, nutrition, physical activity, sexual risk behavior, and alcohol and drug use.…”

Translation of behavioral interventions into community settings for people living with HIV/AIDS can decrease the risk of comorbid conditions. This study was designed to determine whether a multiple health behavior intervention for women with HIV/AIDS could be effectively translated into community health centers (CHCs), delivered by CHC primary care staff. Health Resources and Services Administration-supported CHCs in Miami, FL, and the New York metropolitan area participated. Six health behavior domains were assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months postintervention: nutrition, physical activity, sexual risk behavior, alcohol use, drug use, and tobacco use. Behavioral outcomes were compared between research staff-led and CHC staff-led intervention groups. Research staff and CHC staff outcomes were similar for the majority of outcomes. Results indicate that complex, multicomponent behavioral interventions can be translated into community-based settings with existing CHC staff and can produce clinical effects similar to those achieved by research staff.

“…98 A third study compared the efficacy of 10-week interventions of CBSM, tai chi, and spiritual growth relative to a waitlist control group. 99 Compared to the control group, individuals in the CBSM and tai chi interventions utilized less emotion-focused coping strategies and had improved lymphocyte proliferative functioning. 99 However, there were no differences between groups for quality of life, impact of HIV life events, neuroendocrine functioning, and HIVspecific health status.…”

To promote psychological wellbeing and adaptive coping among people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (PLWHA), a number of stress management interventions have been designed and evaluated. This paper reviews recent stress management intervention approaches designed to improve the coping skills of PLWHA and reduce psychological distress. First, a summary of findings from previous narrative reviews and meta-analyses of the stress management intervention literature for PLWHA is provided. Next, recent stress management interventions for PLWHA that fall into one of four categories are reviewed: (a) interventions to improve coping and modify other health behaviors (ie, highly active antiretroviral medication adherence, sexual behaviors), (b) meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation-based stress management approaches, (c) computer-delivered interventions, and (d) interventions that target specific populations including older individuals, individuals with childhood sexual abuse histories, and women. A critique of recent stress management interventions for PLWHA is provided as well as directions for future research.
