In the news: Nursing researcher explores writing and stress
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, September 22, 2008
Can writing really reduce stress? A nursing researcher from the University of Iowa is hoping to find out.
Howard Butcher, an associate professor of nursing at the school, is conducting a study to see if adults over the age of 55 can use writing to manage stress. The study, which will take a close look at the effect of writing, will focus on individuals who care for cancer patients in their own families. Participants will be asked to write about their thoughts and feelings related to care-giving for 20 minutes every other day on six different occasions.
The University of Iowa Cancer and Aging Program will fund the study.
