This document discusses stress, its causes, types, and management. It defines stress as the psychological and physical reaction to demanding events or situations, called stressors. There are two main types of stress: eustress, which is positive stress that motivates, and distress, which is negative stress with no outlet. Stress can be caused by personal issues like relationships or health, as well as occupational stressors like role conflicts, ambiguity, or overload. Consequences of prolonged stress include physical health issues and reduced work performance. Effective stress management involves planning activities like exercise, diet, sleep, and relaxation techniques, as well as implementing and reviewing a stress management plan.
