Study Notes
Understanding Stress, Vulnerability, and Coping Strategies
- Stress can be measured using the Holmes and Rahe scale, with over 300 points indicating an 80% chance of a health breakdown.
- Stress triggers two systems: the sympathetic-adrenomedullary (SAM) system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis.
- The SAM system prompts a flight-or-fight response, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating.
- The HPA axis releases cortisol, conserving carbohydrates and aiding the body in returning to its steady state after stress.
- Stress affects the brain, as shown in a TED-Ed video.
- Vulnerability to stress is influenced by an individual's perception of the relationship between the importance of consequences and available resources.
- Vulnerability factors to stress include higher exposure to stress, inadequate stress-absorbers, and disproportionate reactivity to stress.
- Protection factors against stress include a healthy lifestyle, positive self-esteem, self-control, and social support.
- Coping refers to strategies for dealing with threats and includes physical, psychological, structural, social, and cultural aspects.
- Coping styles can be avoidant or approach, with problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies.
- Moorey & Greer identified five coping strategies, including fighting spirit, avoidance/negation, and passive survival schemes.
- Active coping strategies, such as fighting spirit, involve accepting the diagnosis with optimism, while passive strategies, like avoidance/negation, involve minimizing the severity of the disease.
