  Life Stressors [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 3, 4]

Stress is a response by the body from demands placed on it and is incorporated into our lifestyle. Stressors come in two forms: eustress, known as good stress, and distress,  known as bad stress. Both types of stress can result in a stress  response. Stress can impact health and performance. College students are  no exception. “About one-third of students who responded to the 2013  National College Health Assessment reported that their stress levels had  negatively affected their academic performance,” (Powers & Dodd,  2017, p. 297). For this discussion, you will assess the amount of stress  in your life and examine its effects on your health and wellness by  completing the following tasks: 

  • Take the Laboratory 11.2: Stress Index Questionnaire in your course textbook.
  • Tabulate your results and write them down along with a brief assessment of your results to be used in your discussion response.
  • Select one of the relaxation techniques that are listed in Chapter 11 of your text and practice the method.

In your discussion response, address the following items:

  • Discuss your results, from the Stress Index Questionnaire, stating  your score and stress category. Were you surprised by your score?
  • Identity at least two of your major stressors impacting your wellness (only share stressors you are comfortable sharing).
  • Explain which dimensions of wellness are impacted by stress.
  • Describe the relaxation technique that you tried in your journal.
  • Do you think the relaxation technique you tried would be effective  in reducing your stress level if practiced on a regular basis? Why or  why not?
  • Elaborate on the major health risks and diseases associated with distress. Use a reference to support your comments.

Include the text and one additional scholarly reference correctly cited in APA style (Links to an external site.) as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.) to help support your response. See the Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.) and Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) web pages for additional guidance.
