on minimizing health risks and improving health promotional status. The goal of each diagnosis was to try to alleviate and/or reduce the impact of stressors on health.
First, the student gathered information on the events and determined that the "Events Evaluation" (i.e., potential for distress/stress) was, overall, 20.8%. On the events scoring
chart (see below), this is considered "low" in terms of potential for distress: Potential for distress Score Very high 90% and up High 70-90% Moderate 30-70% Low 10-30% Very
low 10% and less The further breakdown, is as follows: Family: 27.5 percent Social: 30.0 percent Individual: 20.0 percent Environment: 47.5 percent College: 62.5 percent
The two "borderline" stress reactors are environment and college, and if not dealt with, the moderate to borderline high potential for distress could cause physical
symptoms. For purposes of this paper, well examine the following three. Stress-Related Colds Though the common cold is typically linked to "being
cold," studies are showing that a run-down immune system is more likely the cause. Furthermore, researchers are finding that there is a definite link between stress and illnesses that range
from colds to cancer (AFP, 2005). The researchers discovered that during periods of stress, the body releases a hormone called neuropeptide Y, which undermines the bodys immune system and leads
to illness (AFP, 2005). When NPY, as the hormone is called, gets into the bloodstream, it puts a damper on cells in the immune system that seek out and destroy
pathogens in the body (AFP, 2005). NPY has been linked to other body functions such as high blood pressure and even heart attacks as well (AFP, 2005). Stomach Upset
