Whilst it is arguable that the term ‘stress’ is so ubiquitous that it has
been entirely cut adrift from both professional discourse and real
life experience, it still retains a profoundly serious currency. Real
or imagined, misunderstood or misused, rare or widespread, the
problem of stress cannot be ignored.
Defining stress - The wider the usage of the term ‘stress’, the more
elusive its meaning. Modern definitions of stress all recognise that
it is a personal experience caused by pressure or demands on an
individual, and impacts upon the individual’s ability to cope or
rather, his/her perception of that ability.
Work-related stress occurs when there is a mismatch between
the demands of the job and the resources and capabilities of the
individual worker to meet those demands. Subjective and selfreported
evaluations of stress are just as valid as ‘objective’ data,
such as statistics on accidents or absenteeism
