EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL AND SYCHOSOCIAL STRESS ON BIO-BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本项目的目的是评估在一个控制良好的实验室环境中施加压力后发生的生物行为变化。该项目包括一个全面的压力研究，将包括心理和生理评估后，在一个控制良好的实验室环境中应用压力源，第二，减压身心医学（MBM）技能计划，目前在医疗和护理学校的课程，在乔治敦大学的评估。自主活动和对实验室压力源的反应模式以及MBM技能计划的影响将在一个新的维度上进行评估。 在Zukowska博士的领导下，生理学和生物物理学系成立了应激生理学和研究中心（SPaRC），目的是利用创新方法和最先进的生物技术研究应激生理学和病理生理学。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this project is to assess the bio-behavioral changes occuring after applying a stressor in a well controlled laboratory setting. The project consists of a comprehensive study of stress that will encompass psychological and physiological assessments after applying stressors in a well controlled laboratory setting, and second, the assessment of a stress reducing Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) Skills program that is currently implemented in the medical and nursing schools curricula, at Georgetown University. Autonomic activity and patterns of responsiveness to laboratory stressors as well as the effects MBM Skills program will be evaluated on a new dimension. Under Dr. Zukowska's leadership, a Stress Physiology and Research Center (SPaRC) was launched at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics with the objective to study stress physiology and pathophysiology using innovative methodology and state of the art biotechnology.
