...pitch at an important business meeting, for example. Moreover, stress can increase the risk of developing health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and anxiety disorders. This bad kind of stress is called distress, the kind of stress that people usually are referring to when they use the word stress. A convenient way to think about stress is in terms of stressors and stress responses. Stressors are events that threaten or challenge people. They are the sources of stress, such as having to make decisions, getting married, and natural disasters. Stress responses are psychological, physiological, and behavioral reactions to stressors. Anxiety, depression, concentration difficulties, and muscle tension are all examples of stress responses. The connection between stressors and stress responses, however, is not as straight forward as it may seem. Mediating processes, for instance, stand in between stressors and stress responses. Whether stressors lead to stress responses depends on mediating processes like how people appraise potential stressors and how well people are able to cope with the negative impact of stressors. Furthermore, a number of moderating factors, such as personality traits and health habits, influence the the...

...STRESS MANAGEMENT BY JOSEPH, ESSIEN THOMAS DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY OF UYO, UYO E-Mail: parvenuonline@gmail.com Tel:+2348027228272 1. INTRODUCTION According to Richard (2011), everyone, adults, teens, and even children experiences stress at different time. Stress can be beneficial by helping people develop the skills they need to cope with and adapt to new and potentially threatening situations throughout life. However, the beneficial aspects of stress diminish when it is severe enough to overwhelm a person's ability to take care of themselves and family. Using healthy ways to cope and getting the right care and support can put problems in perspective and help stressful feelings and symptoms subside. Stress can be defined as a condition that is often characterized by symptoms of physical or emotional tension. It is a reaction to a situation where a person feels threatened or anxious. Stress can be positive (e.g., preparing for a wedding) or negative (e.g., dealing with a natural disaster). Sometime after experiencing a traumatic event that is especially frightening including personal or environmental disasters, or being threatened with an assault - people have a strong and lingering stress reaction to the event. Strong emotions, jitters, sadness, or depression may all be part of this normal and temporary reaction to the stress of an overwhelming event. The paper seeks to examine how stress affect people, types of stress, causes of stress...

...available on a 24-hour basis. This type of “irregular” work schedule is particularly prevalent in the healthcare industry. Among these workers are Paramedics whom form a unique part of the emergency services. As pre-hospital providers they are constantly faced with heavy workloads that are not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally taxing. Fatigue, digestive problems and family conflicts are some factors that may compromise the worker’s aptitude and possibly jeopardize patient safety and the paramedics’ health and overall well-being. The body has its own "biological" clock the helps maintain complex internal functions throughout a 24-hr day. This daily rhythm is known as the circadian rhythm. It is influenced by factors such as light, dark, social contacts, and noise. The human body is meant to be active during daytime hours, and is meant to recover and reenergize during the nighttime hours. Working at night and sleeping during the day is opposite to the body's "biological" clock and what the body naturally wants to do. This may make sleeping difficult, and hamper the body’s ability to recover from the physical and mental demands of a paramedic’s job. Circadian rhythms have been found to be associated with changes in mental and physical performance. Circadian rhythms may partly explain why job performance can vary over a 24-hour period, with a low point occurring very late at night or very early in the morning. Common signs of fatigue include loss of concentration...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION THE PROBLEM Nursing school is an exciting, challenging adventure that will demand much of nursing students in terms of time and energy. Because nursing is a discipline comprising knowledge from many related fields, student nurse will be asked to learn to think critically, synthesize information, and then apply it to situations involving live people. (Dewit, 2003) A student may face many challenges and stressors. However, nursing students are likely to experience even “more stress” than their friends and colleagues enrolled in other programs. To support this statement, a study comparing the stress levels of various professional students found that nursing students experience higher levels of stress than medical, social work and pharmacy students (Beck, et al.1997). Even more poignant, another study showed that “one third” of nursing students experience stress severe enough to induce mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. (Pryjmachuk, 2004). One source of stress of nursing students is their Learning Experience. The related learning experience is a series of planned activities in the community that would prepare students technically and professionally should they decide to pursue higher education in the health profession. Specifically, in a selected College of nursing, BSN students spend a maximum of 24 hours a week for their duty wherein they engage in activities such as nurse-patient interaction, nursing procedures...

...has been an important topic of study with the first documented research on sleep deprivation being conducted by Mary D. Maneceine in 1894 on rats by depriving them of sleep and examining their behavior. Sleep deprivation is an important part of academic life. It is often quoted “a sound mind in a sound body” to describe the ideal and desirable state of a human being. It can be observed that the functioning of a ‘sound body’ is vital to the efficient working of a ‘sound mind’. To maintain a healthy body it important that the recuperative functions of the body are allowed to efficiently play their role. The most important recuperative or rebuilding function of the body is sleep which is followed by rest, etc. but it is a sad reality that students today seldom get the amount of sleep which is naturally required by their bodies. Due to this lack of sleep they are constantly in a state named in scientific terms as “sleep deprivation”. They are ‘sleep deprived’. sleep deprivation is not a minor...

...Through an observation approach, the collected data will consist of, behavior that was observed directly, while indirectly collecting information about the patient, and the consideration of the biological variables that can be observed via advanced technology methods. The purpose of this assessment is to find plausible causes, and possible distal and proximal factors that could be contributors to his behavior. This is the classification of the disorder, not my patient. The suffering, maladaptive, irrationality and unpredictability are certain elements contributing to this abnormality. Mainly focusing on his adolescent years, the contributors in his adult life will not be ignored, focusing on the root of his behavior and trying to manage his irregular manic episodes.

...Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background of the study: We are the student of BBA program in East West University, as a part of ‘classroom teaching’ of course ‘Organizational Behavior’, sec-5, has been highly encouraged to prepare a term paper on the topic – “Type A Type A Personality and Occupation Stress” – A study on United Commercial Bank Ltd (UCBL)’’. Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structures have on behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication, and management; and it complements the academic studies of organizational theory (which is more macro-level) and human resource studies (which is more applied and business-related). It may also be referred to as organizational studies or organizational science. The field has its roots in industrial and organizational psychology. The main reasons for studying organizational behavior is that most of us work in organizations, so we need to understand, predict, and influence the behaviors of others in organizational settings. Marketing students learn marketing concepts, and computer science students learn about circuitry and software code. But all of us need organizational behavior knowledge to address the people issues when trying to apply marketing, computer science, and other ideas. 1.2 Objectives of the Study: We the students of this university are very lucky for getting the chance to perform...

...Sleep Disorder Among Undergraduate Students 1. INTRODUCTION University life has presents many new and stressful challenges, such as reduced parental supervision which may increases freedom, self-responsibility, disorganized lifestyle, variable schedules, repeated deadlines, dormitory living, new social opportunity and academic obligations (Anbar and Slothower , 2006) . All of these caused students voluntary to alter their sleeping habits in which they tends to reduce their sleeping time from as recommended sleeping time 8 hours to in between 3 hours to 6 hours of sleeping time per day. This can lead to sleep disorder in which nowadays, insomnia and sleepiness are the most common complaints in general population (Watson, Goldberg, Arguelles, and Buchwald, 2006). Notably that, sleep quality refers to a composite of sleep quantity, length of time to fall asleep, number of awakenings at night, length of time to fall back asleep after awakening, feeling of fatigue or restfulness upon awakening in the morning and general satisfaction with sleep. According to Doghramji (2006), insomnia can be defined as complaint of disturbed sleep, manifested as difficulties in sleep initiation or sleep maintenance, and also refers as early awakenings. According to Kamel and Gammack (2006), there are several causes of insomnia which are including primary specific sleep disorders, physical illness, behavioral, environmental and medication. The examples for sleep disorder are Circadian Rhythm Disorders...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM Introduction Learning environment refers to the physical characteristics of the surroundings of the students when learning. These may vary depending on environmental elements such as sound, light, temperature, and design (Tenedero, 2009). Sound is the first element of the learning environment. Most students are contented with only one sound inside the classroom. This sound refers to the teacher’s voice - explaining the lesson, giving out instructions or assignments, or scolding a student or the entire class (Tenedero, 2009). Some learners prefer total silence or minimum sound because sound acts as a distraction to their effective learning (Senge, 2006). A study done by an American, named James Wallace (2008), mentioned that Filipino students prefer a quiet environment rather than having music or other sounds when studying. However, there are researches which showed that many students prefer to listen to a lecture or study on their own with some background music on because it makes them more receptive to learning (Tenedero, 2009). Light is the second element of the learning environment. Brighter lightings can reduce visual problems, fatigue, and posture problems and produce effective learning which helps improve students’ academic performance (Jensen, 2006). However, research also shows that there are many students who perform significantly better in low light environments because bright lights make them restless, fidgety, and hyperactive. Dimmed...

The steps of nursing process 1)Assesment 2)Diagnosis 3)Planning 4)Implementation 5)Evaluation Assessment An RN uses a systematic, dynamic way to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering nursing care. Assessment includes not only physiological data, but also psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse’s assessment of a hospitalized patient in pain includes not only the physical causes and manifestations of pain, but the patient’s response—an inability to get out of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for more pain mediation. Diagnosis The nursing diagnosis is the nurse’s clinical judgment about the client’s response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. The diagnosis reflects not only that the patient is in pain, but that the pain has caused other problems such as anxiety, poor nutrition, and conflict within the family, or has the potential to cause complications—for example, respiratory infection is a potential hazard...
