Requirements:
Tips & Clarification for Final Applied Project The goal of the Final Applied Project paper in this course is to design an intervention program for Type A employees to lower their stress levels and improve their mental and physical health.
For this assignment, keeping that goal in mind, I would suggest that you address each of the following items in your paper: Describe the Type A personality, emphasizing its role in stress, Discuss health risks associated with the Type A personality.
Discuss the roles of relaxation and exercise in the prevention and treatment of stress. Discuss a few possible interventions to reduce stress for employees and/or Type A personality. Evaluate those interventions using studies of their effectiveness for employees under stress and/or with Type A personality. Create a description of a program that would likely be effective, based on what you’ve stated above. Be specific.
Write a description you would present to the company or to the employees describing the program, how it works, and why it is being implemented. How long does it last? How frequently do the employees practice the intervention? Is it practiced at the job site or on their own time? If on their own time, how will you track their participation or improvement?
