Music for stress and anxiety reduction in coronary heart disease patients
The Cochrane Library has produced a series of podcasts providing audio summaries of some of the systematic reviews that are available from one of its regularly updated collection of evidence-based medicine databases, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Cochrane systematic reviews analyse what evidence is available from published research studies for or against the use of certain treatments and healthcare interventions and then provide recommendations on what is the most effective or appropriate. This podcast enables listeners to hear a short commentary about the evidence available for the use of music for the reduction of anxiety and stress in coronary heart disease patients. The Cochrane Library is made available by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international not-for-profit and independent body, making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare freely available.

Attention, awareness and occupational stress (RR644)
This 92-page report was prepared by Stephen Fairclough and Laura Goodwin of Liverpool John Moores University for the Health and Safety Executive, and published in 2008. It is concerned primarily with the influence of attentional factors on the perception of idiopathic symptoms (such as muscular pain and fatigue) associated with occupational stress. These symptoms are often associated with psychological variables such as anxiety and depression but represent an important index of occupational health and are significant in decisions to seek medical consulation. The contents of the report include an executive summary, introduction and background, factors influencing symptom perception, experimental procedures (interoceptive experiment), pilot study, occupational study, discussion and conclusions, summary of findings, and references.
