CONCEPT ANALYSIS

I select the word: Stressor for my Concept Analysis Paper Project from Betty Neuman’ System Model. A concept analysis paper for nursing involves conducting a literature review, identifying the key characteristics or attributes of the concept, identifying its antecedents and consequences and apply them to a model case.

Introduction

The exposure to stressful situations is the most common human experiences, the severity of these situations, many times unexpected, elicits a stress response. The impact of stress is different from one individual to other. The various types of emotional, physical, social, and spiritual responses that a person has to stress are set in close relation by stress hormones. Anything that poses a challenge or a threat to our wellbeing is a stress. Some stresses get you going and they are good for you, however, when the stresses undermine both our mental and physical health they are bad. In this Concept Analysis Paper, I will be focusing on stress that is bad for us.

Stressor Self Concept

The term stress, from my perspective, better describe a disruption of the harmony or equilibrium cause by a stimulus, phenomenon or event that trigger a response: emotional, physical, mental or spiritual. Stress can be a positive or negative response, as a consequence of a stimulus. Every response is different and unique, even in from of the same stimulus. The stressor sources vary from internal and external.
