The document defines stress and models of the stress response. It discusses homeostasis and how the body tries to maintain equilibrium in response to stressors. Three main models of stress are described: stimulus-based (stress is a stimulus that causes physiological/psychological reactions), response-based (Selye's general adaptation syndrome of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages), and transactional (stress arises from person-environment interactions). Factors like genetics and development stage influence individual stress tolerance. Nursing management of stress involves identifying stressors and helping patients strengthen healthy coping responses.
This presentation consists of stress, types of stress, types of stressors, sources of stress, models of stress, stress management, coping strategies, coping methods
What is stress? Stress is a part of being alive. A total absence of stress can be achieved only in death. Stress is the "wear and tear" our minds and bodies experience.
Stress occurs when the pressure is greater than the resource. 80% of all modern diseases originate from 'stress'.
"Stress Management" is the art of taking care of oneself. So, become aware of your stressors and your physical and emotional reactions.
Our aim is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage and use it to help us.
This presentation serves as an introduction to stress management. Nothing much in depth has been covered, but a solid foundation for an understanding has been made. It was made as per guidelines for an oral presentation and was uploaded in the same form.
Stress is the body’s physical and psychological response to a specific demand made of us or to an event in our life. In some cases it motivates and encourages us to complete a task we find difficult so that we can take pride in ourselves and what we achieve.

A disruptive condition that occurs in response to adverse influences from the internal or external environments
A condition in which the person responds to changes in the normal balanced state
A biological, psychological, social or chemical factor that causes physical or emotional tension and may be a factor in the etiology of certain illnesses.
STRESS. Medical Surgical Nursing ....pptxPatelVedanti
Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it.
When you experience changes or challenges (stressors), your body produces physical and mental responses. That’s stress.
Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations.
Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger.
For example, if you have an important test coming up, a stress response might help your body work harder and stay awake longer.
But stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.
Stress is the non specific response of the body to any kind of demand made upon it.
-Hans Selye, 1956
Stress is the arousal of mind and body in response to demands made upon them.
-Schafer, 2000
A stressor is any event, experience, or environmental stimulus that causes stress in an individual.
These events or experiences are perceived as threats or challenges to the individual and can be either physical or psychological.
Researchers have found that stressors can make individuals more prone to both physical and psychological problems, including heart disease and anxiety.
In psychology, researchers generally classify the different types of stressors into four categories:
Crises/Catastrophes,
Major Life Events,
Daily Hassles/Micro Stressors, And
Ambient Stressors.
Crises/Catastrophes
This type of stressor is unforeseen and unpredictable and, as such, is completely out of the control of the individual.
Examples of crises and catastrophes include: devastating natural disasters, such as major floods, earthquakes, wars, pandemics etc….
Though rare in occurrence, this type of stressor typically causes a great deal of stress in a person's life.
Major life events
Common examples of major life events include: marriage, going to college, death of a loved one, birth of a child, divorce, moving houses etc…
These events, either positive or negative, can create a sense of uncertainty and fear, which will ultimately lead to stress.
For instance, research has found the elevation of stress during the transition from high school to university, with college freshmen being about two times more likely to be stressed than final year students.
Research has found major life events are somewhat rare to be major causes of stress, due to its rare occurrences.
Daily Hassles/Microstressors
This category includes daily annoyances and minor hassles.
Examples include: making decisions, meeting deadlines at work or school, traffic jams, encounters with irritating personalities, etc.
Often, this type of stressor includes conflicts with other people.
Daily stressors, however, are different for each individual, as not everyone perceives a certain event as stressful.
For example, most people find public speaking to be stressful, nevertheless, a seasoned politician most likely will not.
Daily hassles are the most frequently occurring.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
5. INTRODUCTION:
The use of word “Stress” in our
daily conversation has increases.
Though we all talk so much about
stress but it often isn’t clear what
stress really is about all?
6.
7.
8. DEFINITIONS:
Stress is the “non specific response of
the body to any kind of demand made
upon it”. (Selye 1956)
Stress is the arousal of mind and body
in response to demands made upon
them. (Schafer 2000)
9. TERMINOLOGIES:
STRESSOR
“Stressor is they neither positive nor negative but they can
have positive and negative effects as the persons responds
to the changes.”
ADAPTATION
“When person is in a threatening situation immediate
response occur those response are often involuntary, are
called coping response. The changes that take places as a
result of the responses to a stressor are adaptation.”
HOMEOSTASIS
“The various physiologic mechanisms within the body
responses to internal changes to maintain relative constancy
in the internal environment are called homeostasis.”
12. CATEGORIES OF STRESS
Distress- can threaten health (continual
financial worries)
Eustress – good stress (positive feeling)
Developmental – Associated with life stages
(e.g.–college, graduation)
Situational –Random, unpredictable (e.g.
Hurricane or accidents)
Physiological – affect body structure/
function (diseases or mobility problems)
Psychological –arise from life events (e.g.
work pleasure, family arguments)
13. MODELS OF STRESS
Models of stress assist nurses' to identify
the stressor in a particular situation and to
predict the individual's responses.
Nurses can use the knowledge of these
models to assist patients in strengthening
healthy coping responses and in adjusting
unhealthy, unproductive responses.
Three main models of stress are:
Stimulus-based model
Response-based model
Transaction-based model
14. STIMULUS-BASED MODEL
(Holmes and Babes Model-1960)
According to this model, stress is
defined as a stimulus, a life event, or a
set of circumstances that arouses
physiologic and psychological
reactions that may increase the
individual’s vulnerability to illness.
15.
16. RESPONSE-BASED MODEL
Selyes stress response is
characterized by a chain or pattern of
physiologic events called the General
Adaptation Syndrome.
17. When stress appears, it stimulates the hypothalamus to
initiate the GAS through two pathways:
The first pathway is
stimulation of the
sympathetic division of
the autonomic nervous
system and adrenal
medulla. This produces
an immediate set of
responses called the
alarm reaction.
The second pathway,
called the resistance
reaction involves the
anterior pituitary gland
and adrenal cortex; the
resistance reaction is
slower to start, but its
effects last longer.
18.
19.
20. TRANSACTION-BASED MODEL
Transactional theories of stress are based on
the work of Lazarus (1966).
The Lazarus transactional stress theory
encompasses a set of cognitive, affective and
adaptive (coping) responses that arise out of
person-environment transactions.
The person and the environment are
inseparable; each affects and is affected by the
other.
The individual responds to perceived
environmental changes by adaptive or coping
response.
21. PHYSIOLOGY OF STRESS
AND ADAPTATION:
To maintain health, body’s internal environment
must remain in a balanced state.
Various physiological mechanisms within the body
respond to internal changes to maintain relative
constancy in the internal environment called
Homeostasis.
The specific concept of homeostasis was
introduced by W.B.CANNON in 1939.
22. Physiologic
homeostasis
Psychological
homeostasis
Homeostatic mechanisms are
primarily controlled by the
autonomic nervous system and
the endocrine system. Involved
to a lesser degree are the
respiratory, cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal and renal
system. These occur without
conscious thought and usually
function to correct abnormal
conditions.
Each person needs to be felt
loved, experience a sense of
belonging to feel safe and
secure and to have self esteem.
When these needs are not met
or threat to need fulfilment
occurs homeostatic measures in
the form of coping or defence
mechanisms help return the
person to emotional balance.
23. The most common human
response to stress is
anxiety.
It is a vague, uneasy
feeling or discomfort or
dread accompanied by an
autonomic response; the
sources are often non
specific or unknown to the
individual.
It is a feeling of
apprehension caused by
the anticipation of danger.
33. TRAUMA OR STRESSOR-RELATED
DISORDER
This group of disorders is caused by exposure to a
natural or human-made disaster or to a significant life
stressor such as experiencing abuse.
There are six conditions that fall under this category in
DSM-5.
Reactive Attachment Disorder
Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Acute Stress Disorder
Adjustment Disorders
Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder
34. FACTORS AFFECTING STRESS
TOLERANCE
Every person has a unique response to stress; some
people have a greater capacity to resist stress while
others have a poor capacity to resist it. This is
because his coping ability, i.e. how a person
tolerates and copes with stress, is influenced by
Genetics
Lifestyle
Culture
Developmental stage
Physiological characteristics
Psychological traits
We are well aware with some terms which are used synonymously for stress. These terms are stress, strain, conflict, burnout, depression and pressure.
Many people consider stress is something that happens to them, an event such as a harm or encouragement. Whereas others think stress is what happens to our bodies, psyche and our behavior in response to an event.

Holmes and Rahe developed the Social Readjustments Rating Scale [SRRS] consisting of 43 life changes or events which are both positive and negative in nature and considered stressful. The SRRS provides a general impression of the stressors in a person’s life. The more stressors a person experiences in a short period (1-2 years) the more likely that physical illnesses, mental disorders or other stress responses will follow. This theory also explains that many people with high scores on the SRRS do not subsequently experience serious problems. In addition, low scores do not guarantee a life free of dangers of stress. One reason is that mediating factors such as how the individual perceives and copes with each stressor, plays an important role in determining the impact of stressors on each individual.
Heart rate and cardiac muscle contraction increases that circulates blood quickly to areas where it is needed to fight the stress. Blood vessels that supply to the skin and viscera, except heart and lungs constrict and skeletal muscles and brain dilate
RBC production is increased - blood to clot - control bleeding. Liver converts glycogen into glucose - provides the energy needed to fight the stressor. Rate of breathing increases and respiratory passages widen to accommodate more air - to acquire more oxygen. Production of saliva and digestive enzymes reduces - not essential for counteracting stress.
Freud used the term defense mechanisms to refer to unconscious processes that defend a person against anxiety:
they protect against external threats or against internal anxiety arousing impulses by distorting reality in some way.
Defense mechanisms do not alter the objective conditions of danger, they simply change the way the person thinks about it.
