[QUOTE="Drirwin, post: 7003283, member: 49616"] Dear All, Some of you may remember taking part in an online survey examining farmer stress and stress management a few months ago. The student has now completed his thesis and was very pleased to recruit more than 150 farmers for his study (for which he gained an A-grade) - big thanks to all who took part! We will be writing the data up as a full paper over summer, but in the meantime I thought you might like to have an early preview of some of the results regarding reported stress management tactics, illustrated as a concept map below. In addition to those general results you might be interested to know that many farmers took a practical approach to managing stress in the fictional scenarios - so rather than deal with feelings of stress potential mental health issues via a GP, counsellor or other mental health support (such as RSABI) the majority set out plans to deal with the actual stressor - e.g. if you are struggling with paperwork get some admin support, if you can't manage your accounts hire an accountant. This inter-play between practicalities and acknowledgement of the need to get some space from work, alongside socialising or doing something different, meshes with general industrial stress management interventions in research from other industries such as aviation and manufacture. That said its worth saying that not all of our participants reported positive management techniques - some also reported negative or maladaptive coping, indicating an ongoing need for support for farmers. I will share more detailed results later in the paper writing process, but if you are interested in discussing the overall results you are welcome to give me a shout in the meantime.
