Randomized controlled trial of stress management intervention using transtheoretical model

本研究应用跨理论模型（transtheoretical model，TTM）对压力管理行为的改变（如：进行任何形式的健康活动，以管理压力，每天至少20分钟），然后进行TTM为基础的压力管理干预大学生。为了应用TTM，我们首先开发了日语版本的TTM措施。我们开发了日语版的工作手册和专家系统，该系统对每个参与者进行评估并给出反馈信息，以推进变化阶段，并通过随机对照试验比较了感知压力和压力管理参与度的影响。我们发现，阶段匹配的定制方法降低了感知压力，增加了参与者进行压力管理行为的比例。

This study applied transtheoretical model (TTM) to change of stress management behavior (e.g., carrying out any forms of health activities to manage stress at least 20 minutes per day), and then conducted the TTM-based stress management interventions in college students. To apply the TTM, we firstly developed the Japanese versions of the TTM measures. We developed the Japanese versions of workbook and expert system which carries out assessment and gives feedback messages for each participant to progress stage of change, and compared effects on perceived stress and engagement in stress management by randomized controlled trial. We found that stage-matched tailored approach reduced perceived stress and increased the portion of participants who are carrying out stress management behavior.
