Análisis de estrategias para afrontar el estrés y su impacto en la vida y la salud

Examining stress levels in people who have suffered physical trauma, determining the factors that affect these levels, and assessing successful stress-reduction techniques were the objectives of the study. Observational research through online diaries during 2 weeks in a cluster sample with 1536 participants was conducted. Key findings show that women, people with less education, those living in small towns, and people with family members who have been injured in everyday life or in a traffic accident have much higher stress levels. Stress levels are also significantly impacted by changes in income and direct interaction with impacted people. Exercise, socializing with loved ones, meditation, music listening, and breathing techniques are all popular ways to alleviate stress. The study’s ability to assist people in identifying stressors and implementing healthy coping strategies is what gives it practical relevance.
