Study Notes
Understanding Stress: Transaction Model and Managing Stress at Work
- Stress is seen as a transaction between a person and their environment, involving cognitive, physiological, affective, psychological, and neurological systems.
- Stressors are environmental stimuli that trigger a response and vary by timing, frequency, duration, and intensity.
- The transaction model involves primary appraisal (relevance or threat of stressor), secondary appraisal (availability of resources to cope), and ongoing reappraisal.
- There is a distinction between challenge (eustress) and hindrance (dystress) stressors.
- Research indicates that stress can have both positive and negative effects, with the appraisal of the stressful event and physiological reaction shaping its outcome.
- Individual stress management approaches include physical activity, mindfulness, sleep, and time management.
- Regular physical activity, such as 150+ minutes of moderate exercise per week, substantially improves stress management and has additional health benefits.
- Mindfulness has shown evidence of improving mental and physical health, self-regulation, and work outcomes.
- Inadequate sleep has been linked to various health issues and lower job and school performance.
- Effective time management strategies involve prioritizing tasks, scheduling activities, and understanding daily productivity cycles.
- Organizational responsibility in managing stress includes promoting psychological well-being and preventing harm to workers' psychological health.
- The CSA-Z1003-13 standard outlines 13 key contributing factors for promoting and maintaining a psychologically healthy and safe work environment.
