ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to find out the significance of health education strategies for coping with stress. Stress management defines stress precisely as a person's physiological response to an external stimulus that triggers the "fight-or-flight" reaction. Stress management is a wide spectrum of technique and psychotherapy aimed at controlling a person’s level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning.
All events in life brings about a reaction, but there are varied ways through which people reacts or responds to them, coping with stress is the attempt to manage or deal with stress. In their view, coping does not necessarily result in success. They comment that successful coping includes becoming aware of incidents and situations that one perceives as being stressful, and recognizing stressors means being aware of how your body responds to stress. Even though the counselling centre advices individual students who avail themselves for counselling on time management, it is envisaged that workshops, seminars and conferences on “techniques in managing stress” and “time management” for all students will go a long way to equip students with ways of coping with stress.
Key words: Health, Strategies, Coping, Stress, Counselling.
