SPHE388 - Stress and Health Management
View Academic Calendar
This course examines the direct relationship between psychological stress and the human body. Everyday, approximately ONE MILLION Americans are absent from work due to stress. Some studies have suggested that stress has caused an increase in workplace violence. And yet while many of us have heard of the term "stress", few of us understand what it means. It asks the questions: What is stress and what causes it? Can being overly stressed increase your chances of catching the cold or flu? How can work related stress cause you to become burned out on the job? And how can you reduce the negative affects of stress in your life? Through a series of assignments, case studies and group activities, we will focuses on the mechanisms by which psychological and physical stress can affect your health, the different ways you respond to stress, and the factors contributing to these differences. It serves to enlighten students on the complex interrelations between the body and mind, with a special emphasis on stress reduction techniques.
