| Research Abstract |
A series of seminars were performed to evaluate stress by measuring salivary cortisol and amylase as cross-sectional study and to reduce stress mainly by Chinese medicine as intervention. Police officers and general staff in a police organization joined the study in 2011(69 persons) and 2012(14 persons). Self descriptive SCL, STCL, and VAS were used to evaluate stress, and salivary was collected before and after the seminars. Salivary hormones were not valid for evaluating chronic stress but valid for measuring acute change in short time. Also, intervention was approved to be effective to reduce stress.
