TOPIC: STRESS AND COPING
The aim of this literature written by me is to share the study and understanding on various kinds of stresses which exist today and how they impact human society all over the world . This Literature Review will consider various forms of stresses which can be linked to both connotations : positive and negative . However, my main focus will be on stresses which get negatively associated with professionals on job and in their day today life . In later part of the theory , this Literature Review will also cover the right coping strategies in order to cope with stresses .
For making it simple to understand, I have given a brief explanation through a short video on YouTube that can be accessed by clicking on the below link:
What is Stress ?
The American Institute of stress defines “Stress” as a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize. Most people consider the definition of stress to be something that causes distress. However, stress is not always harmful because increased stress of some type also results in increased productivity. A definition of stress should also embrace this type of healthy stress, which is usually ignored when you ask someone about their definition of stress. Any definition of stress should also include good stress, or eustress . For example, winning a race or election is just as stressful as losing, or more so. Any definition of stress should similarly explain the difference between eustress and distress.
The definition of stress for most people
tends to focus on the negative feelings and emotions it produces. Almost every
definition of stress also discusses certain resultant physical, physiological
or biochemical responses that are experienced or observed. A very comprehensive
definition of stress that includes these and more is the biopsychosocial model,
which, as it name suggests, has three components. This definition of stress
distinguishes between an external element, another that is internal, as well as
a third that represents the interaction between these two factors. Types
of Stresses are as follows
1) Acute Stress: Fight or flight. The body prepares to defend itself. It takes about 90 minutes for the
metabolism to return to normal when the response is over.
2) Chronic Stress: This is encountered in our daily lives and includes the cost of daily living: bills to be paid,
raising kids, challenges on job etc . This is the stress we tend to ignore or push down. When it is left
uncontrolled then this stress affects your health- your body and your immune system.
3) Eustress: Stress in daily life that has positive connotations .This includes stress involvement in

Divorce , Punishment , Injury , Negative feelings , Financial Problems and Work Difficulties .
Work stress : a holistic view
The word ‘stress’ is derived from the Latin word ‘stringere’
meaning to draw light . In common terms,
stress is considered to mean things like hardships, strains, adversity,
affliction, force, pressure, strong effects, etc. However, the meaning of the word ‘stress’ has
undergone rapid changes with the change in the conditions of life and
circumstances at the work place. In medical terminology, stress means demands
for a person physiologically ,
psychologically and socially(Sutherland and Cooper,1993 ) .
The following are the negative impacts of Stress :
The following are the negative impacts of Stress :
- Impairment of cognitive functioning: In some people, stress may lead to a narrowed form of attention, reduced flexibility in thinking, poor concentration and less effective memory storage. Such effects are far from inevitable. (Mandler, 1979)
- Shock and disorientation: severe stress can leave people dazed and confused. (Horowitz, 1979) In these states, people tend to feel emotionally numb and they respond in a flat, apathetic fashion to events around them.
- Burnout: This is a stress-related syndrome wherein one‘s behaviour comes to be dominated by feelings of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. The physical exhaustion includes chronic fatigue, weakness, and low energy. The emotional exhaustion refers to feeling hopeless, helpless, trapped, and emotionally drained. The mental exhaustion is manifested in highly negative attitudes toward oneself, one‘s work, and life in general.
- Psychological Problems and Disorders: In the domain of common psychological problems, it is clear that stress may contribute to poor academic performance, insomnia, drug abuse, excessive anxiety, nervousness, dejection, and depression. Above and beyond these, we can find that stress frequently plays a role in the onset of full-fledged psychological disorders.
- Physical problems and illness: the existence of a connection between stress and certain kinds of physical illness has long been recognized. Examples of illnesses that have long been viewed as stress-related are asthma, hypertension, migraine headache, and ulcers.
Kanji-Chopra work stress model
(KCWSM)
This
new approach to measure work stress has been developed using a structural
equation model. Here the model incorporates psychosocial work conditions which
are responsible for the functioning of the workforce and if not managed
properly create work stress. It includes various psychosocial work condition
factors recognisable in the individual , e.g. job support, job demand, job
control and job environment. Lack of functioning of one or all of these factors
in the organization will indicate work stress within the workforce.
Psychosocial work conditions have a causal relationship with the above 4 factors , which jointly provide the
measurement of work well being .
The
notion of well being at work can be influenced therefore by the psychosocial
work conditions set by the leaders of the organization guided by the
psychosocial system of the country. The psychosocial work condition factors
recognizable in the individual are shown though the 4 components given below :
1) Job support
: Job resources , encouragement , social support, career opportunities and job
security (both organizational and peer support)
2) Job demand
: Workload, performance demands, task
requirements, mental burden , human contestability and emotional and social
changes .
3) Job control
: Structure of workflow , autonomy , handling work assignments, and learning
and feedback .
4) Job environment
: Positive working environment, understand their role in the organization ,
management of organizational change .
Study and its findings about stress in Bank Branch
Managers
Research Methodology involved : This study was conducted to identify
the various job and family related factors/stressors which cause stress among
Bank Branch Managers in India ( by L.S Kang and R.S Sandhu ). It consisted of top 5 Indian Banks
based on KPMG Survey,2007 . Out of these only the banks (both public and
private) having at least one bank in Punjab were selected for the study .
Considering this constraint, it was found that there were 643 branches of
selected banks which operated in Punjab at all district headquarters . All 643
Bank Branch Managers were considered for the study but only 316 gave their
responses by completing the questionaire .
Although ,there were various reasons
which came out of the study but the ones mentioned below are very crucial and
can get related to many of today’s highly sought after jobs in the world at
large .The reasons of stress found were :
1)High
intricacy of job
2)
Performance constraints and pressures
3)
Insufficient training and career planning
4)
Unproductive meetings
5)
Unsupportive staff at workplace
6) Lot
of travelling and transfers to other locations
7)Corruption
in the various domains of the company
8)
Limited opportunities of growth
9) Lack
of time for family
What we can understand from the above
shared study is that ,at first , in order to get a good job in a sector such as
Banking a person needs to put a lot of hard work in his/her education and
training which brings in lot of stress . This when gets coupled with the
financial constrains in educational set up brings in even more pressure on the
students(potential professional). After graduation they feel the stressing part
of their life is soon going to get over once the establish themselves and
become financially selfsufficient. But, the matter of fact is that, in actual ,
even after getting nice jobs in a good sector such as banking people get
stressed a lot due to various reasons . So this becomes highly important for
every individual to learn how to live with stress in life in the right way by
adopting highly successful coping initiatives for himself/herself.
BURNOUT & STRESS
What is Burnout ?
Burnout
can be defined as the end result of stress experienced but not properly coped
with, resulting in symptoms of exhaustion, irritation, ineffectiveness,
discounting of self and others, and problems of health (hypertension, ulcers,
and heart problems). Burnout is an outcome of a number of factors but the more
important ones are internal psychological factors such as internal desires,
insecurity, external locus of control, outcome orientation, etc.
Maslach and Jackson (1981)
conceptualized burnout as a syndrome consisting of three components which
are :
a) Emotional exhaustion : It refers to mental and physical tension and strain
resulting from job-related stressors.
b) Depersonalization: It refers to distancing of oneself from others and viewing
others impersonally.
c)
Diminished
personal accomplishment : It refers
to a feeling of negative self-evaluation.
Job burnout is a result of two types of
factors: Situational and Individual. The situational factors typically include
job characteristics, occupational characteristics, and organizational
characteristics.
The individual factors identified in research are: demographic characteristics,
personality characteristics, and job attitude. It has been argued that low
levels of hardiness, poor selfesteem, external locus of control, and an
avoidant coping style typically constitute the profile of a stress-prone
individual .
Impacts of Burnout on job performance and
organization’s productivity
Several
studies in the past concluded that burnout has negative effects on job
performance. Burnout leads to lower productivity and effectiveness at work
(Maslach, Schaufeli and Leiter, 2001). Consequently, it is associated with
decreased job satisfaction and a reduced commitment to the job or the
organization. People who are experiencing burnout can have a negative impact on
their colleagues, both by causing greater personal conflict and by disrupting
job tasks.
Stress in organizations has been
documented to produce wide-ranging psychological, physical, and behavioural
ill-effects. The costs of stress are variously estimated at hundreds of
billions of dollars annually, or 12 per cent of the US GNP (Siu, Lu and Cooper,
1999). The visible portion of these costs stems from compensation claims
,reduced productivity and increased absenteeism , added health insurance costs
, and direct medical expenses for related diseases such as ulcers, high blood
pressure, and heart attacks .
COPING
WITH STRESS
Coping with stress means to mitigate the negative effects of stress by adopting right methods and getting involved in healthy activities to keep ourselves healthy in terms of both physical health and mental health.
Coping with stress means to mitigate the negative effects of stress by adopting right methods and getting involved in healthy activities to keep ourselves healthy in terms of both physical health and mental health.
Why
Coping with stress in the right way has become the urgent need of today?
If we consider the present scenario we
can see lot of evidence to reinforce the point that stress impacts have been
increasingly affecting many individuals and economies all over the world in
various terms and humanity shall essentially adopt right means to cope with
stress. Some of the evidences are:
1)
American Institute of
stress has established job stress costs US industries nearly $300 Billion a
year in accidents, absenteeism, employee turnover, diminished productivity,
workers compensation awards , direct medical , legal and insurance fees.
2)
Even in 1992 , the United
Nations labeled job stress as the “20th Century Disease” and few
years after it WHO mentioned job stress as “World wide epidemic . This was
widely accepted true in the 1990’s but today it has covered mass rapidly and
the negative impacts on account of stress today are sadly more severe.
3)
Rapid changes in the work
force had resulted in a staggering unemployment rate of 10% in the European
Union and higher rates of job stress complaints. These events lead to the
increasing events of social evil and crime rates .
4)
The recent 2008-2009 and
existing global economic downturn events in USA, Europe and rest of the world have resulted in
increased work-related stress and fear of losing jobs.
TYPES OF COPING
1) Problem-focussed coping:
This refers to the actions taken by an individual to cope with a stressful person, situation, or event . These include ways such as avoiding to meet the person creating the person or moving away from the workplace

2)
Emotion-focussed
coping:
This refers to the actions taken by a person to alleviate stressful feelings and emotions. The actions are directed on avoidance or escape from a person, problem, or event. This is a better way of stress coping and includes ways in which the stressful feelings are alleviated and kept in control by exercising regularly or by reading light, non-work-oriented fiction or poetry.

WAYS FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF STRESS
1) Cognitive Techniques
1) Cognitive Techniques
The underlying assumption of
these techniques is that people‘s thoughts, in the form of expectations,
beliefs, and assumptions, are labels they apply to situations, and these labels
elicit emotional responses to the situation. Cognitive techniques of stress
management
focus on changing labels or
cognitions so that people appraise situations differently. This
reappraisal typically centers on
removing cognitive distortions such as magnifying (not
getting the promotion is the end
of the world for me), over-generalizing (not getting
promoted means my career is over;
I‘ll never be promoted in any job, anywhere), and
personalization (since I didn‘t
get the promotion it‘s clear I‘m a terrible person). All
cognitive techniques have a
similar objective: to help people gain more control over their
reactions to stressors by
modifying their cognitions.
2) Relaxation Training
2) Relaxation Training
The purpose of this approach is
to reduce a person‘s arousal level and bring about a
calmer state of affairs, both
psychologically and physiologically. Psychologically,
successful relaxation results in
enhanced feelings of well-being, peacefulness and calm, a
clear sense of being in control,
and a reduction in tension and anxiety.Physiological relaxation decreases in
blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate should take place. Relaxation techniques
include breathing exercises; muscle relaxation; autogenic training, which combines
elements of muscle relaxation and meditation; and a variety of mental
relaxation strategies, including
imagery and visualization.
3) Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercises can help in
keeping stress levels down. This is because aerobic exercise increases the
endurance of the heart and lungs, an aerobically fit individual will have a
lower heart rate at rest and lower blood pressure, less reactivity to
stressors, and quicker recovery from stressors. In addition, studies show that
people who exercise regularly have higher self-esteem and suffer less from
anxiety and depression than comparable people who are not aerobically fit.
4)Yoga
4)Yoga
Patanjali,
an ancient Yoga sage, defines Yoga as a technique used to still
the fluctuations of the mind to reach the central reality of the true self
(Iyengar, 1966). Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras outline a skilful way of
conducting life that fosters moderation and harmony (Becker, 2000). The
completeness of Yoga to help someone come out of the stress (whether from
profession or from any other source) can be understood by the exhaustiveness in
terms of the states affected by right conduct of yoga . Ashtanga Yoga encompasses
cognitive learning, moral
conduct,
physiological practices, and psychological therapy. The first two steps of Yama
and Niyama seek and shape external behaviour and thought patterns and thus
minimize disturbances in the mind and the body. On the behavioural side,
abstention is sought from violence, falsehood, dishonesty, sexual excess, and
acquisitive tendencies. On the cognitive moral side, the ideals prescribed are:
purity, contentment, austerity, self study and forbearance. The stages of Asana
and Pranayama are meant for disciplining the body and regulating
subtle energy flows. In the fifth stage of Prayahara, secondary input is
regulated so that the mind is not distracted. The stages of Dharana, Dhyana,
and Samadhi are for uplifting one’s spiritual self and for heightening
consciousness .
Yoga psychology integrates
behavioural and introspective approaches to growth. It provides a perspective
in which one can become disengaged from involvement
in
the unhappy personalities he has created for himself and in the negative role
he has adopted.
5) Work well-being
5) Work well-being
Work well-being is defined as the long-term
effects of a favourable job setting in which
managers
value and consider the feelings and well-being of their staff. This encourages
open
communication among the employees. The negative effects of organisational
change
can be minimised by ensuring good communication at all stages in the process.
To
incorporate a well-being culture the organisation should first investigate:
.
whether staff can openly talk about their concerns;
.
whether there is a blame culture;
.
the morale of the employees;
.
the positive effects of the organisation’s core values;
.
the amount of work pleasure;
.
the amount of commitment to the organisation.
6) Meditation
Meditation is turning the
attention towards the subtler levels of thought until the mind transcends the
experience of the subtlest state of thought and arrives at the source of
thought. The basic procedure used in Meditation is simple, but the effects claimed
for it are extensive. Meditation practices are associated with reduced heart
rate, lowered oxygen consumption, and decreased blood pressure . Meditation has stress reducing effects and
cogitation, and also increased forgiveness .
My Learning from various studies and research papers
In this busy world of today , it
is crucial that everyone learns about how to effectively manage stress that has
become part of our daily life . The world is growing fast and competition for
success in life is becoming tough year by year, the probability of having
stress related disorders increasing in number is likely to be high . So, it is
important that we modify our ways of living and adopt healthy ways in order to
effectively manage stress .
There is a very important distinction
between preventing stress and managing it. Stress
prevention focuses on controlling
or eliminating stressors that might provoke the stress response. Stress
management on the other hand suggests procedures for helping people cope
effectively with or reduce stress that is already being experienced.
Stress is a common experience. It can
be felt when we are very busy, have important
deadlines to meet, or have too
little time to finish all of our tasks. Often people experience stress because
of problems at work or in social relationships, such as a poor evaluation by a
supervisor or an argument with a friend. Some people may be particularly
vulnerable to stress in situations involving the threat of failure or personal
humiliation. Others have extreme fears of objects or things associated with
physical threats—such as illness, storms, or flying in an airplane and become stressed
when they encounter or think about these perceived threats.
Major life events, such as the
death of a loved one, can cause severe stress.
Stress does the following changes in the human
body functioning :
·
Rising of Blood pressure
·
Breathing becomes more rapid
·
Digestive system slows down
·
Heart rate (pulse) rises
·
Immune system goes down
·
Muscles become tense
·
Improper sleep
Stress can have both positive and
negative effects. Stress is a normal, adaptive reaction to threat. It signals
danger and prepares us to take defensive action. Fear of things that pose
realistic threats motivates us to deal with them or avoid them. Stress also
motivates us to achieve and fuels creativity. Although stress may hinder
performance on difficult & highly complex tasks, moderate stress seems to
improve motivation and performance on less complex tasks. In personal
relationships, stress often leads to less cooperation and more aggression. If
stress is not managed effectively then it can lead to serious problems.
Exposure to chronic stress can contribute to both physical illnesses, such as
heart disease, and mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders. The field of
health psychology focuses in part on how stress affects bodily functioning and
on how people can use stress management techniques to prevent or minimize
disease.
Stress
Management in my past experience
My previous work experience of around
5 years was quite diversified . As a Mechanical Engineer I worked in Oil &
Gas sector both in field and office set up . In this experience , close to 2.5
years of work experience was core site execution experience in pipeline
construction projects in deserts of Middle East. Because I was in projects so
the work pressure used to be very high
.There were long working hours and that involved lot of fatigue due to long
exhaustive site visits . Activites for every day were planned in advance and
from my end I had to make sure that none of the activities lag and defer for
the next day. Apart from the mentioned physical and mental work stress , another stressor was staying away from my
family members who were in India and I could meet them only once in 6 months .
In
this stressful environment , I always believed that the negative effects of
stress can be ever increasing if I don’t take care of stress by adopting right
methods. Also ,in order to learn better stress management, I often discussed about
work and family related stress with some of the very well organized managers on
my project whom I admired for their effective ways of stress management. They
were in the industry from a long time and had learnt a lot in terms of growing
in a stressful environment .
I
managed my stress and worked very well in projects by following the
below given
practices:
1) Maintaining a good friend circle allowed me to seek
friend support whenever required and share moments of joy and happiness with
them.
2) Practicing yoga and meditation gave peace to my mind ,and
also made me feel energetic for the whole working day that made me finish the
jobs allocated to me on time so that I did not have to take more tension over
crucial work progression.
3) Playing sports such as table tennis rejuvenated me to
cope up with stress in a really nice
way.
4) Listening to music such as compositions of band Enigma
and Indian flute on internet.
Theoretical Implications
of ‘Stress and Coping’
There
is an urgent need of very clear understanding on stress that is required these
days . I believe as the time will pass by the availability of resources may
become scarce, the population in the world will increase rapidly, the
competition will become more tough in business, academics etc . Because of all these variations the
likelihood of stress to increase in the society will be quite high . In this
kind of scenario only those people will be able to make difference in the
society who will be able to manage stress in the best way and would continue to
grow while preaching the principles of healthy living and high thinking .
Practical Implications
of ‘Stress and Coping’
These
were some of the practices which really empowered me
to feel good even in an environment which was very stressful . Out of these
practices the most effective stress management technique that I heartily
believe is Yoga. Yoga if done religiously and regularly really brings
miraculous results in a short span of time . The benefits which can be derived
from Yoga are many and it gives us the direction towards healthy living keeping
us both physically and mentally fit. In practical terms , Yoga, if practiced
religiously, is one of the best way of Coping with Stressful situations of
various characteristics .
THE EFFECTS OF
STRESS ON THE BODY
Stress has an immediate effect on your body. In the short term, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but chronic stress puts your health at risk.

The Effects of Stress on the Body
If you’re alive, you’ve got stress. Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to both good and bad experiences that can be beneficial to your health and safety. Your body responds to stress by releasing hormones and increasing your heart and breathing rates. Your brain gets more oxygen, giving you an edge in responding to a problem. In the short term, stress helps you cope with tough situations.
Stress can be triggered by the pressures of everyday responsibilities at work and at home. As you might expect, negative life events like divorce or the death of a loved one cause stress. So can physical illness. Traumatic stress, brought on by war, disaster, or a violent attack, can keep your body’s stress levels elevated far longer than is necessary for survival.
Chronic stress can cause a variety of symptoms and can affect your overall health and well-being.
Central Nervous and Endocrine Systems
Your central nervous system (CNS) is in charge of your “fight or flight” response. The CNS instantly tells the rest of your body what to do, marshaling all resources to the cause. In the brain, the hypothalamus gets the ball rolling, telling your adrenal glands to release adrenaline and cortisol.
When the perceived fear is gone, the CNS should tell all systems to go back to normal. It has done its job. If the CNS fails to return to normal, or if the stressor doesn’t go away, it takes a toll on your body.
Symptoms of chronic stress include irritability, anxiety, and depression. You may suffer from headaches or insomnia. Chronic stress is a factor in some behaviors like overeating or not eating enough, alcohol or drug abuse, or social withdrawal.
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems
Stress hormones affect your respiratory and cardiovascular systems. During the stress response, you breathe faster in an effort to distribute oxygen and blood quickly to your body core. If you have preexisting respiratory problems like asthma or emphysema, stress can make it harder to breathe.
Your heart also pumps faster. Stress hormones cause your blood vessels to constrict and raise your blood pressure. All that helps get oxygen to your brain and heart so you’ll have more strength and energy to take action.
Frequent or chronic stress makes your heart work too hard for too long, raising your risk of hypertension and problems with your blood vessels and heart. You’re at higher risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
The female hormone estrogen offers pre-menopausal women some protection from stress-related heart disease.
Digestive System
Under stress, your liver produces extra blood sugar (glucose) to give you a boost of energy. Unused blood sugar is reabsorbed by the body. If you’re under chronic stress, your body may not be able to keep up with this extra glucose surge, and you may be at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The rush of hormones, rapid breathing, and increased heart rate can upset your digestive system. You’re more likely to have heartburn or acid reflux. Stress doesn’t cause ulcers — a bacterium called H. pylori does — but stress may cause existing ulcers to act up.
You might experience nausea, vomiting, or a stomachache. Stress can affect the way food moves through your body, leading to diarrhea or constipation.
Muscular System
Under stress, your muscles tense up to protect themselves from injury. You’ve probably felt your muscles tighten up and release again once you relax. If you’re constantly under stress, your muscles don’t get the chance to relax. Tight muscles cause headaches, back and shoulder pain, and body aches. Over time, you may stop exercising and turn to pain medication, setting off an unhealthy cycle.
Sexuality and Reproductive System
Stress is exhausting for the body and for the mind. It’s not unusual to lose your desire for sex when you’re under chronic stress. However, men may produce more of the male hormone testosterone during stress, which may increase sexual arousal in the short term.
For women, stress can affect the menstrual cycle. You might have irregular or no menstruation, or heavier and more painful periods. The physical symptoms of menopause may be magnified under chronic stress.
If stress continues for a long time, a man’s testosterone levels begin to drop. That can interfere with sperm production and cause erectile dysfunction or impotence. Chronic stress may make the urethra, prostate, and testes more prone to infection.
Immune System
Stress stimulates the immune system. In the short term, that’s a bonus. It helps you stave off infection and heal wounds. Over time, cortisol compromises your immune system, inhibiting histamine secretion and inflammatory response to foreign invaders. People under chronic stress are more susceptible to viral illnesses like influenza and the common cold. It increases risk of other opportunistic diseases and infections. It can also increase the time it takes to recover from illness or injury.
