Discuss the nursing process related to coping stress pattern.
Stress Stress is a condition in which person experiences changes in normal balance state. Any situation, event, or agent that cause stress is a stressor
Coping A person’s responses tom stressor is called coping strategies, coping responses or coping mechanisms.
Sources of stress Internal stressor (originate within a individual) Example: person’s thoughts, beliefs External stressor (originate outside the individual) Example: loss, tragedy, death in family Situational stressor (often unpredictable) Example: divorce, new job, illness Developmental stressor (often predictable)
Developmental stressor Developmental Stage Stressor Child Beginning school Establish peer relationship Peer competition Adolescent Physical changes Exploring independence Choosing career Young adult Marriage Getting started in an occupation Children Middle adult Maintaining social status and standard of living Helping children to become independent Aging parents Older adult Decreasing physical abilities and health Retirement Death of spouse
LEVELS OF STRESS EUSTRESS DISTRESS
EUSTRESS Eustress or positive stress occurs when your level of stress is high enough to motivate you to move into action to get things accomplished.
DISTRESS Distress or negative stress occurs when your level of stress is either too high or too low and your body and/or mind begin to respond negatively to the stressors.
Models of stress These models help nurses to identify the stressor in particular situation and predict the individual’s responses Nurses use these models to assist client’s in strengthening healthy coping responses There are three main models: Stimulus-based model Response-based model Transaction-based model
Stimulus-based model According to this model stress is defined as a stimulus, a life event, or a set of circumstances that arouse physiologic or psychological reaction that may increase individual’s vulnerability to illness
Manifestations of stress Sweating Increase heart rate Increase respiratory Mouth may be dry Muscles tension increase Digestive disorders Headache Anxiety Fear Anger Depression Physiologic Psychological
Response-based model According to this model stress may also be consider as a response Hans Selye (1976) developed a theory about physiologic response to stress known as “General Adaptation Syndrome”
“ General Adaptation Syndrome” Alarm Resistance Exhaustion
general adaptation syndrome Alarm reaction stage Physiological responses of the fight-or-flight syndrome are initiated Stage of resistance Physiological responses used as a defense in attempt to adapt to the stressor Stage of exhaustion Prolonged exposure to the stressor to which the body has become adjusted Adaptive energy is depleted, and diseases of adaptation may occur
Transaction-based model According to this model people differ in their sensitivity to certain types of events, as well as their interpretations and reactions For example, in term of illness. One person may respond with denial, other with anxiety, and still another with depression In short this model encompasses a set of cognitive, affective and adaptive (coping) responses that arise out of person-environment transaction.
Ways to cope anxiety and stress Exercise Good Sleep & nutrition Time management Relaxation techniques: Breathing exercises Relaxation Massage Guided imagery Meditation Music therapy Humor and laughter
Factors affecting coping pattern The number, duration and intensity of stressor Past experiences of individual Support system available to individual Personal qualities of a person
Nursing process related to coping –stress pattern Assessment: Nursing history (client-perceived stressor, manifestation of stress, past and present coping strategies) Physical examination of stress indicators (nail biting, nervousness, weight changes) or stress related health problems (hypertension, dyspnea)
