Stress is defined as demands
that are considered personally important but taxing or exceeding ones
capacities and resources. Thus, stress is a reaction to a demanding situation
or any change that occurs in our life. The demanding situations and changes can
be either positive (e.g., marriage, promotion, winning a lottery) or negative
(e.g., loss of any kind, illnesses).
All of us have our own ways
of dealing with stresses. How an individual manages his/her stress is known as
coping. Coping can take several forms, such as, problem-focused and
emotion-focused coping. Problem-focused coping refers to problem solving
approach to a given issue. Emotion-focused coping refers to the efforts to deal
with emotional distress arising from a frustrating situation. Both problem- and
emotion-focused coping can be adaptive or maladaptive. For example, an
individual can approach a situation with problem-focused approach but his
interpretation of the problem and the determination of solutions can be
unrealistic which may compound the stress. On the other hand, if an individual
follows the acceptable problem-solving approach (defining the problem,
identifying options, choosing best possible option, applying the option,
monitoring and so on), the likelihood of solving the problem effectively and
getting rid of the stress related to that problem increases.
