Stress-a real problem of teachers

Abstract

Hans Selye, the parent of stress has tried more variants to define stress, after more research he concluded that stress is a body reaction which appears under the influence of different stressing factors of the external environment. Along time there have been made more challenges to define stress, one completing the other. Stress is an integrative part of daily life which cannot be avoided (Elizabeth Kendall,2000). Stress is a complex psycho-social phenomenon which appears from the struggle of a person who has more demands, tasks, situations that are understood as being difficult, painful or of a great importance for a certain person (Baban,1998). Stress can interfere in any domain becoming a normal experience for everyone but it may have two sides: once it can appear as a stimulus due to which you can achieve a goal, the other side may be as a decisive factor in changing the existing life style into a negative one.
