Part A Short answer questions (70 words unless stated otherwise)
What is Critical Incident Stress De
iefing?
Critical Incident Stress De
iefing basically refers to a short-term, adaptive psychological helping-procedure, which lays emphasis upon the immediate and distinguishable issue. It could involve pre-incident preparation to serious crisis management and post-crisis actions (Jacobs et. al., 2014). Moreover, its chief purpose is to allow individuals to return back their day-to-day routine more speedily and with less possibility of facing PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). However, it has been observed that Critical Incident Stress De
iefing is ineffectual in case of primary trauma victims, and should just be adopted for secondary victims, like reacting to emergency services personnel (Ha
is et. al., 2012).
2. Briefly outline the two areas of Defusing and De
iefing after a Critical Incident
Defusing
Defusing is ca
ied out through a proficient staff member and is intended towards
inging the experience of the occu
ence to some conclusion and providing instant personal assistance (Jacobs et. al., 2014). Two areas of defusing after a critical incident include identifying cu
ent needs and offering employees information, advice and handouts related to refe
als as well as support agencies.
De
iefing
De
iefing is generally performed within the period of three to seven days of the critical event, at the time when employees have had sufficient time for taking in the experience (Ha
is et. al., 2012). Two areas of de
iefing after a critical incident include techniques of managing emotional responses arising from a critical event and normal psychological responses towards critical incidents (Mitchell and Everly, 2012)
3. Provide five examples of physical and emotional stress. Write two sentences to describe each.
Trauma
Psychological trauma is basically a kind of damage to the mind, which occurs due to a severely upsetting occu
ence. Trauma is frequently the outcome of an overpowering degree of stress, which surpasses one's capability of coping or integrating the emotions associated with that particular experience (Ha
is et. al., 2012).
Fatigue
Fatigue refers to a subjective sense of tiredness that is different from weakness and has a steady inception (Jacobs et. al., 2014). Unlike weakness, fatigue could be avoided through periods of rest. 
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse refers to is a patterned usage of a drug wherein the user takes in the substance in amounts or with techniques that are damaging for them or others (Ha
is et. al., 2012).
Anxiety
Anxiety is a common term used for various disorders, which leads to nervousness, apprehension, fear and wo
ying (Jacobs et. al., 2014). Such disorders have an impact on the way how one feels and behaves and could result in physical symptoms.
Depression
Depression is a common and serious mood ailment. It results in serious symptoms, which impact the way how one feels, thinks and handles everyday practices, like sleeping, working or eating (Mitchell and Bray, 2010). 
4. How could a community service worker use self-assessment to monitor their stress and emotional wellbeing?’
A community service worker could effectively use self-assessment for monitoring their stress as well as emotional wellbeing. Self-assessment is an ability that when practiced often, would help in controlling the emotions and improving physical wellbeing (Ha
is et. al., 2012). Self-assessment is considered as being an effective means of reducing the anxiety levels. By way of self-assessment the worker could effectively understand and examine his/her positive and negative personality traits (Jacobs et. al., 2014). This would also enable them to work upon them so that everything goes on smoothly.
5. Discuss the difference between Chronic and Acute stress.
Acute stress
It results from particular situations or events, which involve unpredictability, novelty, a threat to ego, and leave people with a poor control (Mitchell and Bray, 2010). Acute stress could prove to be good for the person as the stress hormones released greatly help the...
