College students, as you may know from personal experience, face many stressful situations. Different factors can trigger stress and, subsequently, stressful responses in students of all ages and backgrounds. Appropriate interventions must be taken to address stress-causing factors and help preserve the health and wellness of college students.
Please select the following case study:
Bri-Anne is 20 years of age and enrolled at AMP University. She lives in the dorm and shares a room with Sue. Sue struggles with finances and frequently argues with her boyfriend; jealousy is also a big concern in this relationship. Bri-Anne has witnessed many of their arguments and occasionally helps Sue out by giving her money for food or other needed expenses. One of Bri-Anne’s best friends was recently raped at a party, which has caused Bri-Anne several sleepless nights, anxiety about the campus, and worries regarding her own safety. Bri-Anne’s grades have suffered since that incident; she feels overwhelmed and has self-doubts. Additionally, she feels pressured to perform well in her upcoming assessments and final exams.
After reading your specific case assignment, please address the following elements:
· Briefly analyze the relationship between the student’s stress factors and the impacts on his/her health. Use the text as a reference to support this connection.
· Propose at least four appropriate interventions as discussed in the course text, and identify whether these fall within the life-situation, perception, or emotional arousal intervention One of these interventions needs to address financial stressors of the college student.
· Assess how one of your intervention recommendations would change if the college student was a minority
