INFORMED CONSENT - FOR YOUR REFERENCE

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO INFORMED CONSENT You have been identified by your provider as a student who could benefit from the addition of regular physical activity to your health program. We are determining the effectiveness of regular physical activity in relation to symptoms of depression and anxiety. The Student Health Center at Fresno State would like to offer you the opportunity to participate in a peer assisted physical activity program. Such a program would optimally last up to 8-10 weeks and include any form of physical activity you would enjoy. You could potentially benefit from this program by improving your physical health, as well as having fewer symptoms of stress, anxiety and/or depression. If you choose to participate in the program, you would be asked to meet with a student mentor for the purposes of having an exercise partner at the Student Recreation Center for up to 8-10 weeks. You will also be asked to fill out a brief online survey every month for the duration of your participation regarding any symptoms of depression you may have. The survey is called the Zung Depression Scale and asks questions related to difficulty sleeping, anxiety or depression. Survey responses will be confidential and used only by your provider and Work it Out! Program staff and trained volunteers. The results of this survey will be used to determine if students who engage in regular physical activity have an improvement in their symptoms of depression or anxiety. Participation in this program is entirely voluntary and will not affect your medical care in any way. The information will be used to develop health and wellness programs for the Fresno State campus. The Zung Depression Scale is a short self-administered survey to quantify symptoms of depression. The Zung Depression Scale form is accessible through Psychological Services. Completed surveys will be kept confidential and be viewed only by your provider and Work it Out! Program staff and trained volunteers. If there are any areas of concern identified on the survey regarding your safety, you may be contacted by your provider. There may be some personal discomfort with the content of certain questions on the Zung Depression Scale. For example, there are questions regarding your feelings or physical symptoms you may have. There are also inherent risks of any physical activity program which include muscle or ligament injuries, fatigue, altered heartbeat, menstrual complaints, gastrointestinal distress, chest pain, and breathing difficulties. If any of these side effects occur, contact your medical provider immediately. If it is after hours, you may seek urgent medical care. It is not the intention of this program to cause personal discomfort for someone, however if you find yourself upset at any time, please go or contact the Student Health Center at 559.278.2734 or Psychological Services at 559.278.6738 for counseling services. For after office hours, you may also contact the Central Valley Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1.888.506.5991, available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Wellness Motivation 101 TIP #1: SET GOALS Ask yourself, how will I know I am successful in reaching my goals? Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) goals.

TIP #2: REWARD YOURSELF Whether it’s treating yourself to a movie, spending time with friends, or reading a good book –don’t be afraid to reward yourself for reaching your goals.

TIP #3: NEVER GIVE UP When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. Set-backs are bound to happen, but it’s all about what you do with them. When they happen, shift your energy toward reaching your goals.

TIP #4: PRACTICE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING Whether you miss a day at the gym, or deviated from your diet, remember to stay positive! Overcome discouragement by visualizing where you will be and how you will feel once you have achieved your goals.

TIP #5: SEEK SUPPORT Share your goals with your loved ones and ask that they support you in your journey to better health. Reach out to professionals when needed for additional guidance or support to overcome mental roadblocks.

TIP #6: SAY NO Saying “no” is often a difficult thing to do. But saying no to unhealthy decisions or distractions is a necessary part of staying motivated. Keep your eye on the goal and eliminate barriers to that goal where possible.

TIP #7: LEARN DISCIPLINE Establish a routine that works for you and stick to it. Begin each day with meditation, yoga, or a brisk walk –even if it’s only for 20 minutes.

TIP #8: STOP AND REFLECT We often forget to take time to reflect on our progress, but reflection allows us to recall where we started and how far we have come. To get started, try writing in a journal or simply talk about your experience with a loved one or professional.

TIP #9: GET INSPIRED Find out what motivates you and surround yourself with it. Post reminders, notes or inspirational quotes in key places in your house or workplace (i.e., refrigerator, bathroom mirror, etc.).

TIP #10: LOVE YOURSELF First and foremost, you have to learn to truly love yourself. *Adapted from Allegheny College: www.allegheny.edu.*

Increase Your ZZZZZZZ’s! In the Spring 2013 semester, randomly selected Fresno State students participated in a survey which identified the top ten academic impacts. Sleep difficulties ranked number two on the list. With all of the demands of being a college student, it’s easy to put sleep second. However, when the body doesn’t get enough sleep, it can cause fatigue, high stress, inability to concentrate, a nd over time can cause the immune system to weaken. Below are some tips you can use to enhance the quality of your sleep.

CREATE A “BED TIME.”

YOUR BED IS FOR SLEEPING.

Bed times aren’t just for kids! By setting a regular bed time you allow your body to develop a routine and maintain consistency.

Doing homework and studying in bed causes you to link your bed to stimulating tasks and makes it harder for your body to wind down at night. Reserve your bed for sleep!

TAKE NAPS. If you’re feeling the 2:00PM drowsiness set in, engage yourself in a powernap. Powernaps usually last for 20-30 minutes and provide you with energy to continue on with your day.

UNWIND. Create a bedtime routine that allows your body to wind down from the day. Consider meditation, stretching, leisure reading, or engage in an activity that calms you down.

CUT BACK ON CAFFEINE. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system making you become alert and giving you energy, just the opposite of what you want to do before you go to bed.

CAN’T FALL ASLEEP? Instead of tossing and turning, get out of bed and do something relaxing until you feel tired.

UNPLUG.

SMELL THE ROSES…

Turn off all electronic devices –phone, computer, tablet, television, etc. Light exposure from these devices stops your body from secreting melatonin, the natural occurring hormone that tells your body it’s time for bed.

Or lavender, chamomile and jasmine too! These scents are known as “calming” scents and help the body to relax, reduce anxiety, depression, and enhance sleep.

GET COMFORTABLE. When you sleep, it’s best to do so in a quiet, dark, cool room. Hang blackout curtains to keep outside light out, turn on a fan, or use an eye mask if there is light that you are unable to cover or keep out.

De-Stress Tips We all know the common ways to deal with stress. Here are a few you may not be familiar with: LAUGH OUT LOUD

HAVE “TEA TIME”

Rather than have a breakdown, allow yourself to LAUGH!

Take a tea break. Tea has less caffeine than coffee so you won’t have the jitters (which can often make stress worse).

WATCH FISH Research has found that watching fish swim reduces blood pressure and stress. Even watching a videotape of fish has been proven to have stress- reducing effects.

EAR MASSAGE Massaging your ear releases endorphins in your brain and makes you feel good, and it can be done anywhere.

SWEET SCENTS Certain scents have the ability to calm and rejuvenate us. Consider lavender to sooth you and peppermint to increase your focus

HUMMMMMM Close your eyes and make the OHM sound or hum until you can feel the vibrations in your nose. This releases nitric oxide which helps transport oxygen, and removes stress hormones from the blood.

TEABAG REJUVENATION Bags around your eyes from all that studying? Place a brewed tea bag (or 2) in the freezer and place on your eyelids. The caffeine will reduce the puffiness around your eyes (plus the aroma and feel will calm you).

PAINT YOUR NAILS A BRIGHT COLOR! Whether you’re in a test or dealing with a difficult situation, look at your finger nails and they will help you be calm and remember to breath.

Time Management

*Adapted from Fresno State Support Net

HOW WILL YOU USE YOUR 168 HOURS?

If we multiply 24 hours in a day X 7 days in a week, the product is 168 hours. Beginning with your 168 hours, we will now take away time for daily activities.:

SLEEP MEALS CLASSES

168 hrs.

Attempt to get 8 hours of sleep per night. Take away 56 hours per week.

- 56 hrs.

Let’s approximate an hour per meal each day in order to enjoy well-balanced and relaxing meals.

- 20 hrs.

How many units are you enrolled in? We will assume enrollment in 15 units, so we must also subtract the 15 hours you spend in class each week.

- 15 hrs.

STUDYING

It is recommended to study using the 2:1 ratio. That means for every hour you spend in class, you should spend two hours studying. If you spend 15 hours a week in classes, then you should ideally spend 30 hours studying.

- 30 hrs.

PERSONAL TIME

This combines showers, laundry, and other personal activities that would equal about an hour a day.

- 7 hrs.

After allowing generous amounts of time for sleep, meals, classes, studying, and personal time, you have forty hours remaining.

40 hrs

What can you do with those remaining 40 hours? Start by structuring your time into BIG

CHUNKS and LITTLE BITS.

Big Chunks of time include: • Time spent in class, studying, attending tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, etc. • Time spent working. • Volunteering or extracurricular activities. • Relationships, social events, attending movies, concerts, etc. • Time spent exercising.

Little Bits of time are smaller portions of your day, such as time traveling to/from school, or: • In 5 minutes I could: check and update my “to-do” list or planner; empty the garbage; water my plants. • In 10 – 15 minutes I could: get supplies for a project organized; review my study cards; sort my laundry; straighten my desk; take care of my nails; make a phone call to family/friend. • In 20 – 30 minutes I could: complete a reading worksheet of the next chapter in one of my classes; review my notes; read something for relaxation or meditation.
