This document discusses stress and adaptation. It defines stress as the body's response to changes in its normal balanced state. There are three stages of the general adaptation syndrome: alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion. Stress can be positive or negative depending on its duration and intensity. Psychological adaptation involves mechanisms like anxiety and coping strategies to deal with stressors and maintain homeostasis. Nursing interventions aim to reduce anxiety and promote adaptive responses to stressors.
A health assessment is a plan of care that identifies the specific needs of a person and how those needs will be addressed by the healthcare system or skilled nursing facility. Health assessment is the evaluation of the health status by performing a physical exam after taking a health history.

We all feel stressed at times, but what one person finds stressful may be very different from what another finds stressful. An example of this would be public speaking. Some love the thrill of it and others become paralyzed at the very thought.
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.
Stress is a real or interpreted threat to the physiological or psycho social and/or behavioral response due to various factor that have to managed so that it may not lead into fatal psychiatric conditions
Stress and Crisis - plays important role to deteriorate the physical and mental health of a person, so one should know how to manage it by knowing the condition, causes, sign and symptom and its intervention.
Stress management is a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of and for the motive of improving everyday functioning

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. INTRODUCTION:
Stress is a part of life. Everyone feels
stress at one time or another. The
experience of stress & the way one
response to it are unique to each
individual. The process of responding to
stress is constant & dynamic & is
essential to the person’s physical,
emotional & social well being.
3. TERMINOLOGY:
STRESS
“ It is a condition in which the human
system responds to changing in its normal
balanced state .stress result from a change in
the environment ,that is presided as a
challenge a threat or a danger and can have
both negative and positive effects.”
- Pender and Parsons (2006)
4. CONTI…
2) STRESSOR
“ stressor are themselves neither
positive nor negative but they can have
positive and negative effects as the
persons responds to the changes.”
5. CONTI….
ADAPTATION
“ when person is in a threatening
situation immediate response occur
.those response are often involuntary
,are called coping response. The change
that take places as a result of the
responses to a stressor is adaptation .”
6. HOMEOSTASIS
“The various physiologic mechanism
within the body responses to internal
changes to maintain relative constancy
in the internal environment is called
homeostasis.”
PHYSIOLOGIC HOMEOSTASIS
PSYCHOLOGIC HOMEOSTASIS
7. PHYSIOLOGIC HOMEOSTASIS
Autonomic nervous system & the endocrine
system primarily control homeostasis
mechanisms.
self regulatory, occur without conscious
thought, & usually function to correct
abnormal conditions.
Short term & long term stress can threaten the
physiologic homeostasis & result in illness,
11. ALARM RESPONSE
This is the “ Fight or Flight”
response that prepares the body for
immediate action
12.
13.
14. STAGE OF ADAPTATION / RESISTANCE
PHASE
If the source persists, the body prepares for
long-term protection, secreting hormones to increase
blood sugar levels. This phase is common and not
necessarily harmful, but must include periods of
relaxation and rest to counterbalance the stress
response. Fatigue, concentration lapses, irritability
and lethargy result as the stress turns negative.
15. STAGE OF EXHAUSTION
In chronic stress situations, sufferers enter
the exhaustion phase: emotional, physical and
mental resources suffer heavily, the body
experiences ‘ adrenal exhaustion’ leading to
decreased stress tolerance, progressive mental and
physical exhaustion, illness and collapse.
16. PSYCHOLOGICAL HOMEOSTASIS
Each person needs to feel loved & a
sense of belonging, to feel safe & secure & to
have self-esteem. When these needs are not met
or a threat to need fulfillment occurs homeostatic
measures in the form of coping or defense
mechanisms help return the person to emotional
balance.
18. NEGATIVE STRESS
It is a contributory factor in minor
conditions, such as headaches, digestive
problems, skin complaints, insomnia and ulcers.
Excessive, prolonged and unrelieved stress can
have a harmful effect on mental, physical and
spiritual health.
19. POSITIVE STRESS
Stress can also have a positive effect,
spurring motivation and awareness, providing
the stimulation to cope with challenging
situations.
Stress also provides the sense of urgency and
alertness needed for survival when confronting
threatening situations.
22. THE SOURCE OF STRESS
Developmental stress
Situational stress
TYPES OF STRESSOR
EXPERIENCED
Physiologic stressor
Psychological stressors
PERSONAL FACTORS
26. MIND BODY INTERACTION
humans react to threats of danger as if they were physiologic
threats of a person perceives the threat on an emotional
level& the body prepares itself to either resist the danger or
to run away from it. Each person reacts in Backache
Constipation
Diarrhea
Dilated pupils
Dry mouth
Headache nausea
Sleep disturbances
29. INTERVENTIONS TO REDUSE ANXIETY
a). Exercise:-
Regular exercises help to maintain physical & emotional health.
b). Rest and sleep:-
Rest and sleep helps the body to maintain homeostasis & restore
energy levels.
c). Nutrition:-
It plays an important role in maintaining the body’s homeostatic
mechanisms & in increasing resistance to stress. Obesity &
malnutrition are major stressors & greatly increase the risk of illness.
d). Encouraging the use of support system:-
Support system provides emotional support that helps a person
identify & verbalize feelings associated with stress.
