Stress Assessment

Answer the questions based on your feelings and thoughts during the last month. You will indicate how often you felt or thought a certain way. The best approach is to answer fairly quickly. That is, do not try to count up the number of times you felt a particular way; rather, indicate the answer that seems like a reasonable estimate.

Each question in the stress assessment is equally weighted, with each answer having specific points assigned to it. As you answer each question, your answers will accumulate points which add up to create your final score at the end of the assessment. Your final score will dictate where you fall on the Perceived Stress Scale.

On the Perceived Stress Scale, a Low Stress score is considered to be between 0 and 13. However, no one can avoid stress completely and you probably would not want to anyway. Stress can be healthy when it is not long lasting. The best way to manage your stress is to incorporate a stress management activity into your daily routine.

Consider taking a short break, exercise, or listening to soothing music to manage your stress. You can also browse the Acentra Connect app for more tips on how to manage your stress levels.
