  1. WHO SUFFERS FROM STRESS? 100%

  2. RECOGNISING STRESS • 68% don’t recognise when they’re stressed. • Only 16% expect colleagues to recognise when they’re stressed.

  3. STRESS DEFINITION The response we have when the amount of pressure or demand placed on us is more than we can cope with.

  4. SCIENCE OF STRESS CORTISOL

  5. SOURCES OF STRESS • INTERNAL • EXTERNAL

  6. SOURCES OF STRESS

  7. HSE’s Top 6 Workplace Stressors 1. Demands of the job. • Autonomy/How much control you have. • Support you receive from managers and colleagues. • Relationships at work. • Role – whether fits expectations, whether title fits role and whether role has meaning. • Change and how it is managed.

  8. Personality Traits/Learned Behaviours • External Locus of Control – believe what happens to them is fate/luck – suffer more stress. • Internal Locus of Control – what happens to them is through own effort and decisions. • Generally those who suffer less stress tend to have: • Internal Locus of Control • High levels of self efficacy • Hardiness • Optimistic • These are not “fixed” personality traits – but learned behaviours and can be changed.

  9. PERCEPTION OF STRESS STRESSOR The life situation or demand which might cause problems. PERCEPTION OR APPRAISAL How we view the stressor and see it as relating to us. STRESS RESPONSE The way our thinking, our feelings, our bodies and our behaviour change.

  10. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS • Psychological • Emotional • Behavioural • Physical

  11. How do you react to stress?

  12. COPING METHODS • Emotion based • Stress carrying • Avoidance based • Problem based

  13. COPING METHODS • Emotion based- manage the emotion e.g. talk about how they feel, sympathy and support from others, letting emotions out, meditation, exercise. • Stress carrying - take emotions out on others e.g. shouting, moody, not talking. • Avoidance based - denial, pretend everything is OK, retreat into fantasies; drink or drugs or binge eating. • Problem based- doing something to tackle the source of the stress constructively; may do on your own or seek help of others.

  14. Changing Stress-related Thinking

  15. Changing Stress-related Behaviour • Mind body connection. • What we DO rather than what we SAY sends powerful messages about how we FEEL. • If SAY we are confident, we must ACT confidently too. • Base behaviour on new thoughts, not old ones. • Get out of comfort zone, into stretch zone – the more we are in stretch zone, the bigger our comfort zone grows.
