The impact of food and drink, exercise and job satisfaction on the levels of stress.
Abstract

The hypotheses was the better the diet the less stressed the individual will be, the higher levels of satisfaction of work the lower the stress and finally the more exercise an individual does the less stress there will be. ... The results also showed that the predictor variables had a non significant effect on the levels of stress. The analysis method was multiple regression and the predictor variables were food and drink, exercise and job satisfaction. ...
Introduction
Stress has been defined in three categories, stress as a stimulus, stress as a response and stress as an interaction Bartlett 1998. These categories conform to the three models of stress that was suggested by Cox 1978.
The first model, the engineering model explains that external stresses invoke a stress reaction. ... This model particularly focuses on the physiological responses and was mainly influenced from Selye’s 1956 explanation that “stress is the non specific response of the body, to any demand made upon it.” Selye noticed that there were physiological changes due to stress. ... It can be derived from the analysis of this model to ask the question, ‘what is the cause of stress?’
Lazarus 1966 Expressed that individual human beings subjectively describe what they see as a stress factor. The causes of stress may include disruption of daily rhythms, occupational linked stresses, major life changes and everyday hassles Gross 2000. Changes in our daily rhythms affect our lifestyle as these rhythms tend to persist back into our lives, this causes stress. ... Some groups of people, such as airline pilots who experience jetlag are affected by this kind of stress. ... These events had different levels of seriousness; from this analysis the social readjustment rating scale was developed. ... Lazarus 1999 narrated that life events remotely cause stress, he suggested that psychologists need to understand the personal significance or attachments to those events.
In the case of nursing, sources of stress such as dealing with anxiety and death are worsened by inadequate training Gaze 1988.
